Ice Hockey Rules

I never thought I'd say, but I'm beginning to turn into a hockey fan. I don't thinkI have much choice, as I'm sure the sport is televised pretty much 24-7 over here. I think we arrived at the right time, just at the culmination of the Junior World Hockey Champs. After beating the US in the group stages, Canada got to the final against Russia, and we ended up in a bar at the same time. With a couple of jugs of beer, a pile of Nachos about two foot high, Canada managed to thrash the Russians 5-0. Get in there. What an atmosphere!

It was just as good last night when we ended up in a bar for the Vancouver v Calgary NHL game-The Canucks won in overtime after being 3-1 down in the final period. I don't know what's happening, but I actually ended up getting excited during the match, something which I thought would never happen watching ice hockey! I am beginnig to get slightly worried as my Dad said I was beginning to sound Canadian on the phone the other day!
