Its not **** at all. Its has everything you want in a sport.

I can't think of any other sports that have such a mix of grace and skill and then at the total other end of the scale you have the goons who are total thugs trying to crush the skilful players.

Sounds a bit like Premiership Football.

Ice Hockey...a game i always think should have a bigger playing area, the speed the skaters cover the ice would allow for this....and it would get a bit more tactical i feel....slightly bigger goals to allow for shots from distance, etc.

Ok i'm basically inventing a new game here now...lets call it ' Twice Hockey', as it would be played on a rink double the size of normal hockey.

it used to be played on a larger playing surface

I can follow the action perfectly well. Its just fast....your eyes probably aren't used to it, and because you have know idea about the sport, you don't know where the puck will be going

There aren't exactly breaks in play either. They are called faceoffs and happen when the puck goes out of play, there has been a penalty, goal or the goalie holds onto the puck. Its certainly not like NFL, basketball or baseball in terms of breaks in play.

PS. Its Canadian

That sounds about right, not everyone is going to like every sport, this one is definitely not for me.

Normally i hate it stuff like that, but was compelled to watching it loved the tactical aspect of it.

It's actually not. They've copied ideas from similar sports which existed before, from the Irish and the Scots.

Ice hockey is great. And the only real similarity it is with hurling, which is I assume the Irish sport you are referring to, is that it is a fast game played with sticks.

The final was fantastic. Glad the Canadians won after nearly throwing it away.

Bowls is **** neil

Bowls is ****, but curling is basically lawn bowling on ice.
