Maybe I'm not a "true Canadian"...maybe I've spent one too many Sunday afternoons in cold dimly light arena's, with my ISO up as I has high as I dare, and my f/stop as low as I can go, hoping to capture "the moment" hoping to take that hockey shot that stands out only to come back with grainy dark images of men/boys wearing cages over their faces chasing pucks. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I have on occasion shot up to four hockey games in one weekend. Maybe its the kind of hockey I shoot. Maybe its that I don't understand the concept of sitting inside a cold arena to watch a team skate on ice, don't we Canadians put up with enough cold and ice? But whatever it is I've come to the conclusion that hockey is not the greatest sport in the world as many of my fellow countrymen clam.

Just what makes hockey any better then football, or basketball, or any other fast action sport?
