I tell ya, theres nothing like sittin back, crackin open a fresh beer, putting up your feet and watchin some hockey night in canada. The game of true canadians, and men. So besides that, I can guess what you're prolly thinking "Well ricky, i'm pretty sure I understand the game of hockey pretty well, what else is there to teach me?" Everything.
See most people don't generally know it, but hockey was first invented by the shady aboriginals in northern british columbia. Well that part we knew, but everyone thought it was some type of evolved form of lacross. And that is where you're completely wrong! Reason being at the time ice was only found on shubbery and trees, and never actually on the ground until the white man cleared it all. Lacross on the other hand was invented after basketball in canada but using rods instead of hands. So where does this mean hockey came from?

Hockey actually started after a fight over a fukin dog. Something that looked like this lazy piece of shit.
anyways the dog turned out to be a pretty solid skater and owned some of the guys there, and taught them how to play hockey. Here is a re-creation in the form of an old sculpture.
The dog continued to skate hard, but after numerous games it finally died. Just recently on cbc news, they said to have found a little pouch inside the dogs brains that listed the rules of hockey. Attached to it was another piece of paper that revealed the winner of the 2008 stanley cup.
The Edmonton Oilers!!!! These days its terribly difficult to make the NHL. You have to be fast, big, and smart. You also have to have to ability to smash 20 stacked bricks with your mouth,
Funny story is I was actually in the NHL for 3 seasons, but had to leave due a sprained face but as you can see before I left, I was in the best shape of my life.
anyways, that is the NHL in a nutshell, next topic..........Stelmach! Get Ready!
