        Y’all’re so keen on ice hockey, you even invented a version for the audiences at home to play in their driveways with a coupla brooms and a clothes-iron welded to a big-ass rock. 🤪

              I’m not sure if you’re just trying to insult Canadians or what, but curling was invented in Scotland.

    Assuming you mean ice and not field, it’s not popular here in the UK with football (soccer) dominating but I’ve been to some local games, very fun to watch even though ofc the standard is pretty bad hah. One of the TV channels here used to show NA sports late at night so I got into NHL as a teen using my dad’s VHS player to record parts of games. I was the weird kid at school who used to bring in NHL 2001 or ESPN NHL Hockey on Xbox

    Unfortunately I’m a Canucks fan lol, though I did catch Rangers-Blackhawks in 2015 at MSG when I visited NYC which was awesome!

      Hello fellow British Canucks fan. I find the endless series of catastrophes punctuated by brief periods of (false) hope really chimes with life in modern Britain.
