WHY WE PLAY HOCKEY!

Sports Corner

By Gordie Who

Why do we play ice hockey?

If you are Canadian, it is as natural as walking. But the game has taken on an international appeal in northern hemisphere countries. At the Ice Oasis, you could find yourself playing with or against a Finn, a Russian, a Czech, a German or even Jason Molenda from Minnesota.

There are so many other sports to choose from but we picked hockey and here’s why.

Other outdoor winter sports we could have played:

Snowball Juggling





Ice Climbing


Human Toss on Skates


Figure Skating


Ski Jumping


Winter Parachute Landing


Bucket Tobogganing



Or we could have participated in winter indoor sports like:

Bowling


Basketball


Fencing


Greco Wrestling


Baby Wrestling


Pro Wrestling


Sumo Wrestling


Martial Arts Gymnastics


Executive Hair Pulling



When the weather gets nicer and everyone wants to be outdoors, we want to play hockey at IOHA!

Who in their right mind would even think of being involved in one of these sports:

Golf


Archery


Long Jump?


Parachuting


Recreation Vehicle Racing


Roller Blading


Cycling


Frisbee Catching


Stair Sliding


Trolley Riding


Sumo Racing


Skateboarding


Lawn Mow Racing


And we certainly want to stay away from these water sports:

Synchronized Swimming


Rowing


Cow Walking



But there are six contests that we could do which wouldn’t take away from our ice time:

Winkey Holding


Wife Carry


Bridal Gymnastics


Beard and Moustache Referee


Cheerleading


Flatulence Contest


So we all know why we play hockey. It’s the speed and the danger!


And when no one is around at 3a.m. we can go out and play naked hockey!!!!
