Ice Hockey Players

I actually don't know all of them, but, Patrick Kane and Zach Parise are one of my favorite ice hockey players. I don't actually play ice hockey or even watch their game on TV but I find the game interesting. When I went to Manila last September, I saw many figure skaters, ice hockey players in SM Mall of Asia. I kept on staring at them because I do envy them. I tried to skate on ice but honestly it wasn't that easy.

Ice hockey (called hockey in countries where it is the most popular form of hockey) is a team sport played on ice, in which skaters use sticks to direct a puck into the opposing team's goal. It is a fast-paced physical sport. Ice hockey is most popular in areas that are sufficiently cold for natural reliable seasonal ice cover, such as Canada, the Czech Republic, Latvia, the Nordic countries (especiallyFinland and Sweden), United States, Russia, Slovakia, Germany, Austria and Switzerland. With the advent of indoor artificial ice rinks it has become a year-round pastime in these areas. Ice hockey is one of the four major North American professional sports. Worldwide theNational Hockey League (NHL) is the highest level for men and both the Canadian Women's Hockey League (CWHL) and the Western Women's Hockey League (WWHL) are the highest levels for women. It is the official national winter sport of Canada, where the game enjoys immense popularity. (More Info)

Both of them rocks. They play hockey so cool and they are the one that inspires me. I really want to learn Ice Hockey, but Cebu (where I live) doesn't have any Ice Skating Rink. Manila is quite too far from my place and I'm hoping, soon I could play ice hockey like my idols.

I'm going to show you some of my pictures when I was at the rink (MOA) and some Ice Hockey Players practicing . I'm not sure about this but one of the Phils. Ice Hockey Team is the Voyagers. I told my classmates about this and one of my classmate, Achaia knows about the ice hockey players. I just found out that two of the Ice Hockey players (Team Voyagers) is Achaia's cousin (what a small world isn't?).

Yes, it's me wearing the "YLYN ♥ CEBU" shirt and that's my two brothers at my back.

I find the Philippine Ice Hockey players COOL.
