At least the minor league players are still playing. I hate Hockey so it doesn't matter to me, but I like it that our local team has such a following, this far down south. I don't like it because it is so violent. The last time we went, there were huge fights, over and over. I wouldn't choose to watch WWF on purpose and I certainly didn't want our Boy Scout Troup to see that kind of behavior! And that's why we were there!
