    Being Canadian, it is clearly in my veins. I watch every single match of my beloved home team (Montreal) and I play at least once a week. How many of you out there like it as much (or not as much)? Any software dev who's also a hockey fan?

      One of the guys I work with plays hockey regularly, and I believe he watches the pros quite a bit.

          I believe you are referring to ice hockey here. For me, never seen it and probably never will.

                  Ha nice. The Rangers are 2nd out of the 30 teams in the NHL that have the most money with a valuation of 850M$. I don't know how it compares to other sports teams, though.

                    Luckily enough, I don't play pro so there's a mandatory mouth piece and full-face mask rule that helps me keep all 32 of them at the right place! :-\

                      Well, as a product of the Great State of Massachusetts with strong Canadian heritage I must say that I enjoy Hockey from a safe distance. Seriously, I can't even watch it, I can't tell what's going on. What's with having only three quarters?! :confused: It's just a ridiculous game. I played floor hockey in elementary school, back when Bobby Orr trod the boards. Go Bruins! P.S. I just remembered something else. One year at a Christmas party where my father worked I was given a hockey stick. A wrong-handed hockey stick. :doh: Later, my friends complimented me on my back-hand. :~ P.P.S. I'd rather watch Hockey than Curling. And why is there a Hockey team here in Phoenix? :confused:

                            One of my colleagues is a national referree for "women teams". Others play regularly.. I can't because of a broken knee (birth problem). I like watching it sometimes, prefer soccer (football) so..

                                Over here the scale goes from England to Finland. It's fun watching live, not very fun on the telly and I basically never get to watch it live due to the exorbitant prices on tickets.

                                  Well I am born and raised in Turkey. I didnt't have interest in hockey since 2006. As you know Turkey is not a country where hockey is popular. People love soccer here a lot and they are so passionate about it like Canadians are for hockey. But I have met my best friend in 2006 and since then I am a Canucks fan.. Well you must have guessed he is from Vancouver :) Right now I cannot watch all the games since I am back from LA and the matches are like at 4-5 AM. I watch them from tape or the highlights. Tho, when I was living in LA, I tried going every single game of Canucks vs Sharks/ Skanks.., Kings or Ducks..

                                    Though I am British, I thoroughly enjoy it - keeping up with an 80-odd game regular season is hard with the time difference is very difficult though so I'd place myself somewhere just beneath US-ian interest, as I understand it's not as popular there as the land of Canadia ;P There is an ok-ish semi-pro league in the UK that garners a surprising amount of interest, most people would be surprised to find.

                                          I heard if you buy a hockey ticket in Phoenix, they give you a meal combo, some Coyotes props and a key to the city. All that for 19 dollars. :)
