Its the truth.
Anyways I can say the same for Basketball, its not that I don't hate it I just don't see how exciting it can be. Sportscenter has shown me that I have no idea what goes on in a b-ball game. I just can't understand it. I know the basics and I have played it but to me its not that fun. Hockey on the other hand is fun. You have to basically have to learn another way of motion.

Skating alone is one thing, skating while being pushed, poked and checked quite another).

The times where I have argued with my dad or the money it takes to get new equipment are numerous. It takes time, money and a little instinct. I have been playing for most my life and I will never grow tired of it.
Hockey to me is a sport of the GODS.
