I live in a very warm area of the South, so hockey is nonexistent. When we suddenly got a few hockey teams in the Southeast awhile back, I went to some games and really enjoyed it. I had no fucking clue what was going on, how it was played, or what any of the rules were (along with virtually every other person there), but it was fun to watch and I could see myself really being into it if I had grown up in a cooler climate. For some reason, I can't see that happening with soccer, lol.
yeah, I'm thinking maybe it's the cultural thing too...I've given it a couple chances and have even watched a couple games on Telemundo to see if excited spanish announcers can kick up the fun factor, but just couldn't get into it.

eros, you're a disturbed man ;-)
