Hockey is popular, it seems like every other town has its own minor league hockey team.

Hockey is the shit

What kinda kills it, sorry to say, is the Euro style. Less focus on the physical game and more like basketball. In the sense instead of say bodychecking the guy after u see he's gunna deak u good, u let him go around u cuz u 'cant' hit him sorta thing.

The NHL rules should be the standard, for all levels of play. From the CHL (AHL) to the OHL to the NHL.

Err, Syco. It wasnt the Euro's that started the new non-physical hockey it was you nhl-twats. The swedish national team sent an official complaint about the fact that they are going to use nhl-rules in the olympics. In an interview Wayne Gretzky says that it the new style is better cause technique is more fun to watch than big hits. Let me be the first to call bullhonkey on that. A good hockeyplayer can deke as well as he can take and deliver a hit. Just look at players like Mats Sundin and Peter Forsberg.
