There is no sport that takes as much skill to play as hockey does. Until you have been to a stanley cup final live in person. You will never convince me otherwise. Sorry Slab, I'm not a hawks fan. Even though I'm related to a couple of guys that played for the Hawks. One in the late 60's early 70's and the other in the mid 80"s. I will give you a hint we share the same last name. He holds the Blackhawks record for most assist in one game. For all you non beleivers about the skill it takes to play the game at that level. Go strap on a pair of skates. See if you can control the puck while trying to skate 20mph front and backwards, side to side. Oh did I mention the contact part of it. The NHL has the best athletes in the World, not just the USA.
