Best Sports

[Mark in Oshawa]

Well for Hockey I think puts out the most well rounded athlete. First off, in hockey, the ability to skate is unique. no two people skate the same way but the balance and ability to generate speed and conserve energy for a 30 second to 1 minute shift is unique. Strength is required to generate this. So you need speed, endurance, yet be able to sprint. Yes, you sit on the bench for breathers, but the heart never really relaxes, just allows the body to go back at it again. Mental toughness is required to persevere with the pounding you can take. It requires situational awareness and it all happens at a high speed in a confined space. So for anyone to be a really good hockey player (we Canadians never say Ice Hockey, that would imply that by defining it it is less than field hockey? last I looked, Field hockey wasn't as big a sport) they need speed, strength, skills, toughness AND unique skills (skating) that most other athletes don't have. Then go to a game live, and tell me how you didn't admire the grace and skill.

Sorry, Hockey is still the game. I love and respect most sports, I shoot for a community cable station and have learned to love sports like Soccer, Football, Lacrosse and Basketball, but Hockey still wins out of the athletic events.

For a spectacle, racing of course is my other love...but I separate it from other sports..

Motorsport, dont care if its racing, rallying, drifting, rallyx, time attack etc it just happens to interest me the most

Not really into ball sports but if I have nothing to do and there's a game of Rugby on the tv, I'll watch it.
