I'm not sure how big ice hockey is in the UK but I know the Cardiff (Capital of Wales) team is the Cardiff Devils and play in the EIHL , never seen them play though (I have an unworn Cardiff Devils T-shirt ). One of my old friends mum always went to games and used to love the fighting :lol:

Off Topic
I do like punk hockey music though like The Hansons and one of my favourite items of clothing was a D.O.A Hockey top which I left on a football pitch once never to be seen again :(


I'm going to have to watch Slapshot soon.

Do you know the band Nomeansno? I assume The Hansons you mention are the side-project of that band.


Funny you say that, Canadian1911 had a Q/A thread and I asked if he'd seen Slapshot, the answer was NO 8O I asked my GF if she'd seen it, also NO 8O I had to educate her so we watched it recently , she enjoyed it.

Yeah, I love Nomeansno and yes that Hansons not the mmmbop ones :lol:

I really find combat sports interesting to watch. It's like chess, but with a greater chance of blood.

You really don't want to mix the two up and send some former teenyboppers out as your enforcers.

Name some combat sports. I don't think I know what you mean.

My brother took Fencing lessons. How cool is that?!

mmmmm ^ :heart:

I have lots of hockey jerseys here.
Pick a team, any team, including GTHL.

One needs to have the C stitched onto it for Tavares.


I'm sure we've had this conversation before but I did have a knitted jumper (really soft wool , great texture and lovely on the skin)with a CH logo ( it was my current GF's initials ) but I'm pretty sure it was a hockey team - Montreal ? (sorry my brain is mush atm, stressed to f**k).

MMA, boxing, sport karate, catch wrestling, etc.

Fencing is awesome, I'd love to get involved in HEMA (historical european martial arts).

Les Habitants, or the Montreal Canadiens. The team so great they named them twice.

Been watching UFC for years now, I'm a bit behind though, I have 284,285 & 286 to watch when I have time (it's difficult not to see the results before I watch them though)

I followed it back in the early 00s but not really since then. A lot of the footage is on YouTube though, so I've gotten to see a lot of more recent fights.

I'm a HABS fan. My son is an OCD-obsessed diehard Leafs fan to extreme proportions, and one of those people who knows the stats on every sport like Rainman. Leafs have never won the cup in his lifetime so it's an unbearable trauma drama every year when they lose in the conference. My beau is a Canucks fan.

It gets kind of riotous around here in the spring. :skull:
