I love this.
Especially this:
"I am thankful for...
... watching my 18-month-old son run around the house all day long waving his mini-sticks in the air and yelling "HOCKEYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!" He's even started saying Zamboni -- which comes out like "Bambooonininin" -- and "WAAAHHHH!" when Patrick Roy makes a big save, but we'll have to work on the little guy for a bit before he can say Czerkawski, Khabibulin, Konowalchuk, Radivojevic or Tjarnqvist.
... Canadians who don't think American hockey fans are idiots. Just because we grew up on the wrong side of the border doesn't mean we don't know the game. And besides, NAFTA regulates the free trade of hockey knowledge south across the 49th parallel.

He likes hockey, too. But not basketball & football so much. Hm.

It's all basically the same.
The level of contact is much different, as are some specific rules. That, and out of bounds doesn't apply to hockey that often.
MMMmmmm hockey.
