kimj81 - 2004-09-15 2:14 PM Why is hockey played in the summer?


'cause we're CANADIANS!!

No, so it won't interfer with the NHL schedule I believe.

Though, as there is no NHL schedule this year ... but I won't get onto that bandwagon here

See that's what is cool about Canada. No offense, but places like Florida and California shouldn't have ICE hockey teams. New rule - if your locale does not have naturally occuring ice OUTSIDE for at least 3 months out of each year, you shouldn't have an ICE hockey team. Curling is a bunch of fun to watch in person too. I got to watch (in person) the Canadian Olympic team a month after the Olympics and the other team 'uncled' after 3 ends. Pretty neat stuff. Or, it could have been the copious amounts of Black Ice...

Hey Frank,

You are Mr. Canada for sure....qualifications include having seen curling live and having more knowledge than I do about shipwrecks in Kingston!

Thanks, Wifey and I are honorary-non-resident Ontario Fresh Water Freaks. We make a habit of going up to Ontario at least 2 or 3 times a year to go diving. My dream is to retire early and be an ex-pat along the river in the 1000 Islands region

I can't stand hockey...or football, or baseball, or basketball. But I do love meatballs. Oh, but I digress! I can't stand hockey, but we won at something and I AM PROUD TO BE A CANADIEN!!!!!

OK... if your locale won't allow you to swim, bike and run outside 12 months out of the year, you can't have triathlons

Au contraire, mad cow.  When we can run and bike outdoors in -52 degree weather and still love it - then we REALLY deserve tri's up here. (yes it got to minus 52 with windchill where I live last winter - that's minus 63 Farenheit - just close your eyes and picture it. damn cold) Obviously swimming is indoors, but cut us some slack!!

Colon, right parenthesis or just click on the faces on the left.
Actually I have a lot of respect for anybody that can get out there in the cold. If it drops below 65 I stay indoors!!! I went to Vancover once during the summer. I loved it up there and was talking to some guy in a sporting goods store about the cheap hockey gear (I was like a kid in a candy store), but I had commented on how I wouldn't mind living there, because of the weather, then he said " yeah, but it's been so hot out lately." It was 80 something degrees. I knew then that I couldn't live there.

Vancouver is beautiful - lived there for my university years.  But I live in the Prairies now, and it can get hot hot hot here.  High 90's (yes, I have a conversion chart on my computer!) usually, though this summer it's been record-breaking cold. the coldest summer ever actually. Yay for us. But I see your San Diego, so high 90's probably don't impress you.  (I see my smiley face problem now, I have no faces on my left - it's blank there! hopefully not a metaphor for my life or anything!)

OK madcow, time for me to come clean... I have a San Jose Sharks jersey in my closet - and I wear it too. It's such a cool logo, how can you not love it? Can we be friends again?
