hip check 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2004 I went and saw Canada vs France, US vs Spain, Australia vs Columbia, and Korea vs Mexico last night. There were two games going on two pads at 7:30 and 9:00, so I wandered back and forth between them. Not a single TV camera in sight, only a few video cameras... for the World Championships!??It was my first roller hockey exposure - not sure what to think of it. Like a mix of soccer, basketball, and hockey. Maybe I'm too old-school to "get it". It was good to see the games though. I wasn't overly impressed with the skill level. Maybe I was expecting too much, but if these were the best in the world <_< ? Spanish fans are loud. I may have to try it out some day.One funny note - watching the Korea/Mexico game, a few Aussies were up watching as well after their game (they play the winner). A guy was wearing a #99 jersey for Mexico. One Aussie said "I could understand a #98, but only ONE player should wear the #99". I thought that was pretty cool, since he probably had never seen much of Gretzky playing. Good to see they have a bit of sense of respect for the game.

Finals for different divisions are June 30 and July 1, I believe. A google search will tell you who's playing, when and where. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
