On a scale of 1 to Canadian, how much do you like watching/playing hockey?
-
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..
Major props to you, sir!

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'd like to watch one of those, are they shown on TV or available on a webcast or something?

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.
About the same, so I guess I'm less Canadian then you are. :laugh:

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?

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.

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. :)
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.

When my older boys played baseball, I watched baseball. When the middle boys played ice hockey (insert sounds of money black hole sucking my wallet dry), I watched hockey. Now that most are older and no one is much playing anything, its hard for me to justify attending ANY professional sporting match - the prices are stupid silly, and I'd rather go sailing.

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