I've never been to a live hockey game, just see it on telly sometimes.

I was never brought up on Ice Hockey, I was a hooker in the school Rugby team though.

I can ice skate but in the UK we use the skates with the teeth on the toe (rented them actually) so compared to most of the N Americans my ice skating skills are not that great, especially now I'm 60 and don't bounce like I used to.
