Deck Hockey

I wouldnt say its “gay”. Calling a sport gay doesnt even make sense… unless its soccer because well, soccer’s gay.
but there is a whole list of frustrations that deter a lot of ice hockey people from playing. i think i listed them in the last roller vs. ice hockey thread that turned into 9 pages of crying…
but like you said, its a lot easier (financially or whatever else) to play dek and therefore a lot more people do. for some reason people that are new to hockey feel the need to swing the stick around like its a baton or something and i really dont have the desire for broken wrists or teeth so i will just stick to playing ice hockey with those that know what the hell theyre doing.
also, IT IS TOO DAMN HOT outside to be running around like a damn fool chasing a ball around in circles.
i played a lot of dek hockey growing up and youre right, its basically the same as ice(much more than roller IMO). its a great place to learn all the fundamentals, possitioning, blablabla…

I know what the hell Im doing and I dont swing the stick like a baton. I choose to do this on my feet though.
