Although my ice hockey experience is limited due to my geographic location, I've found it to be true that ice hockey is the superior to football. The rules are easier to understand, there is more consistent action, and in both sports the players knock the crap out of each other. Change my mind....

No need to change your mind.. hockey is better, much better.


Although, I’m still half confused with offsides in hockey.

I prefer football, but choose not to watch either one due to the disrespect some of the players show to the flag.

Also, there are fewer penalties, and fewer time outs, and there are breaks between the periods.

Hockey. Always been a hockey fan and my boys play travel hockey. My oldest plays in the Canadian league even though we live near Buffalo.
Off sides happens when an offensive player crosses the offensive blue line before the puck crosses the blue line. It eliminates cherry-pickin' like you see in basketball.
Hockey hits are about 17% harder, if I remember correctly, and sticking up for your team is still alive on the ice. Hence many fights ensue, not to mention the trash talking between players to egg someone on.

I attended a University that did not have a football team. In the Spring there was an annual mud football game. Was supposed to be fun. Well it got real cold and the mud froze. We played one team made up of the University hockey team. Being an old football player, I explained football to every hockey player I caught, by pounding them down on that frozen mud. Every time I said; "Welcome to football! " It was fun. smile

2 completely different games. Neither are better but just different.

Hockey is more similar to basketball.

I'd watch a good rodeo, bull riding, or BFO b4 I'd watch any of those ball games.

Wouldn't a good compromise be Rugby?
It has the flow of hockey, but the feeling of a football game?

I've actually never watched a whole rugby match, but that's my general impression.

Neither, they both support and promote a marxist anti-America, anti-Police, radical racist organizations.

Either way I love my country and fishing... so I'm OK!

Rugby is cool, a buddy of mine plays it quite often and describes it as “like football but for men....
