You have to be kidding. Hockey ONLY belongs on NHL sized rinks. Once you get into Olympic sized ice what you have left is boring hockey- .............. That's my take on it. I know that they built a lot of rinks in Ontario that were Olympic sized in the last dozen years or so but are now rethinking that and you are seeing them go back to the standard 200 by 85 - thank God.

Once you get into Olympic sized ice what you have left is boring hockey- oh I know the argument - you get to see the skill and skating - please - nobody watches hockey for that alone - they watch it for all of that and the hitting. That is
why they would like to go to SMALLER ice in Sweden - 'cause noboody goes to the games over there - it is just too boring to watch. They are always so far from the net that they never shoot the puck - it is like watching paint dry. I use the analogy of a boiling pot - boil it without the lid on and what happens - it just boils away - now take that same pot of boiling water and put a lid on it - watch that lid go crazy trying to keep all that water in - lots of action and you never know what is going to happen - a lot more exciting 'cause you have a confined space with no where to go. That's my take on it. I know that they built a lot of rinks in Ontario that were Olympic sized in the last dozen years or so but are now rethinking that and you are seeing them go back to the standard 200 by 85 - thank God.

Re: The 2010 Winter Olympics Women's Ice Hockey Tournament

Any signs of Women's Hockey on the opening ceremonies?

Looks like I wont be arriving in Vancouver until tomorrow afternoon instead of mid morning as my flight was just delayed.

I really wish now I would have left sooner as opposed to waiting until after the UW Women's Game this afternoon.....
