Talk:Hockey
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Hockey, which shall henceforth be referred to as Ice Hockey, was adapted from Field Hockey, which shall henceforth be referred to as Hockey, by British immigrants who found the lack of any real fields during winter slightly frustrating. They named the new game Ice Hockey. However, because using three syllables in one sentence proved too challenging for many big, burly Canadians, the word Ice was dropped. (Later, two syllables proved equally demanding, leading to the accepted pronounciation as: "ookh".)
Hockey (which I should have referred to as Ice Hockey.. I forgot, sorry!) is listed in the official program of the Winter Olympics as Ice Hockey, whereas Hockey (that's the other kind... on a field) is listed in the Summer Olympics (although I think I should refer to the Summer Olympics as the Olympics as they were, like Hockey.. that's Field Hockey, the original, and therefore there is no need to refer to them specifically by the time of year they are played), as Hockey.
In short, if you are a North American on a tour of a (Summer) Olympic site and the guide points out the Hockey Stadium, DON'T ask "but isn't that in the Winter Olympics? And DON'T ask how they put down the bloody ice!!

edit What happens if you lose ANY type of hockey(as long as you are american)
You get cancer and anyone who is on your team with cancer dies. Simple as that.
edit Canadian stereotype debunked
In the contrary, Canadians are not polite when they play on ice and the arena's seating gets wound up when the opponent teams fight. Canada sucks. I don't care you won the gold in Vancouver 2010.+ PotatoSmut 04:41, April 20, 2010 (UTC)
