    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 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.

                Are you referring to Field Hockey or Girly Hurling on Ice?

                    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:

                    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. :)

                        I don't know how much it costs back where you are, but here the average price for a game ticket is around 75$. The games are always sold-out. ALWAYS.

                                Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

                                  Maybe, but still not worth it. We do go to some Diamondbacks games with the meal combo though ($17?).

                                        Yeah they've got such a hockey machine this year. 2nd place overall in the NHL at the moment I think. Great team.

                                          Never played but love watching the BlackHawks. Patrick Kane is freaking unbelievable - TV cannot do him justice.
