--- Quote ---Thanks for the info I have gotten so far. I remembered, after the reminder, that a puck in the net is called a goal, sorry. :-[
And points are awarded to teams for standings sake.
I don't think I'll remember all the icing and off sides particulars so like Spatech t.u.o. says, I may just make up my own rules, but I will try to understand them. (I officiate high school football so I understand rule gobbledeegoop)
I also have a feeling that my friends are expecting a hockey game to break out in the middle of a fight. (sic). I have noticed that when two players are fighting as long as they are both on their feet they can beat the snot out of each other but as soon as one of them is on the ice, the officials step in. You'd think while they are on their feet they could fall and crack their skulls, but I suppose a punch to the nose while the guys head is laying on the ice could be quite dangerous too.

I can draw pictures for you if you'd like. :P :D

Hockey just isn't the same anymore ... I've seen the Rangers, Islanders and whoever they were playing back in the 70's and there were't helmets, goalies wore plastic masks and they had fewer rules.
Don't get me wrong, the rules to protect players from high sticking and such should be there but I don't like some (or most) of the rules. I haven't been to a NHL game in years but go to an AHL team - costs A LOT less ($7.00 a ticket) and the kids have a great time.
Then again I guess everything changes as time goes on ...
In Canada eh:

The town I live in just bought the defunct Cincinnati AHL team and everyone one here is looking forward to seeing a game :) They are building a new arena/horse racing track complex/slot machine facility that has everyone very excited :)

Sorry, it's an ECHL team and the $7 ticket was through the school ... don't you just hate when people give you the wrong info!
In Jersey they have counties and the my county built an indoor arena that is great. It's small (10,000 people) vs Madison Square Garden (35,000 I think) and every seat is a good seat.
We've seen concerts, the circus, hockey, monster trucks and the Harlem Globe Trotters. Every one of those were cheaper than going into Phily or NY and as I said every seat is great. Our AHL team is a Flyer farm team and they do put on a great show for the kids and they have contests and give-a-ways. At even $12 a ticket a family of 4 can get away with a $100 night by the time you add in food and drinks.
We even have a farm team for baseball that pretty much is the same deal as the hockey.

I'm originally from northern Illinois so hockey isn't totally foreign to me, but its been years since I have been around it that I knew I had forgotten more than I remembered.
I use to watch it when Bobby Hall and Stan Makita were with the Blackhawks. Face sheilds/masks were unheard of even for goalies.
