All Torhs Team 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2007 Hockey is a superior sport in a way. It takes all other sports and puts them together and you have hockey.Think about it...Basketball - 5-5 trying to make baskets, with team strategyFootball - HittingSoccer - Team passing, low scoring gameBoxing - self explanitoryFigure skating - Use of iceLacrosse - Team passing, using sticks, with alot of contactAsk me, hockey is a combination of all of these.

Hazard14 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2007 The first pucks were cow kneecaps.werent they cow "patties" aka shitJust some facts will add more later-The first puck was square, not round.-A puck sometimes moves at speeds of more than 150 MPH-Originally, games were played with 9 players on a side-The name hockey comes from the French word "hoquet", which is a shepherd's crookalso fighting is somewhat tolerated, unlike most sportsCanada and the Soviet Union have been the two dominant countries in Olympic ice hockey. The two countries have won 14 out of the 19 Olympic tournaments Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maka 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2007 I'm pretty sure the first pucks were simply balls that eventually got the tops and bottoms cut off to leave flat portions so it was less bouncy on ice. Maybe I'm wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
