Well, that's was FIELD hockey. We're talking about real hockey or ICE hockey as you'd probably call it.

What you call field hockey we call hockey. What you call hockey, we call Ice hockey. Since the Olympics calls it Hockey I put forward the supposition that it is Ice Hockey fans who have it wrong. . But its hardly worth arguing about. Just be glad we're not talking about Football, which can mean 4 different games to my knowledge.

Yes, the confusion between Ice fotball and regular fotball is way to common!

I don't know what the americans do when they play that game called soccer, we prefer to play fotball!

When americans play soccer, wait we don't play soccer, we play football. But when we see other people playing soccer we think to ourselves "play a real sport where you can use your hands and hit people."

Can't say I like it much...but good hockey

The yellow uniforms that Canada wore yesterday were a homage to the 1920 olympic gold champions (which was a team called the Winnipeg Falcons). Anyways - there back to normal colours today as they lead Slovakia 2-0 early in the 2nd period!

Well, Canada beat Slovakia 5-1 - while Sweden edged the Czechs 4-3 in a close game. We'll see how the Russians do tomorrow...
