Poll Question:
We seem to have a lot of knowledgable in the game of hockey on this site, which begs the question, do they follow and talk about other sports with such a passion? Well tell me here, what is your favourite sport?

Living in Canada I have to go with hockey. My mom took me to a baseball game and asked me in the bottom of the third ''so when do you think the game will start?'' Soccer I only follow during the World Cup. The highlight of last one was that a Zidane was the closest a uniformed French man has come to combat in the last 100 years. Basketball I enjoy but not with the same passion, and football I can never see a game so I lost interest until the playoffs start.

I follow all the sports, hockey is my favorite, Track & Field second.
when I was in high school, and College I was a 800/1500 metre runner, and spent much of my time at that rather than hockey...
I only played up to Midget then took 10 years off from hockey to run...
Now I play hockey, and running is a thing of the past, but I still go to local meets at the UWO...

Hockey is most in depth for me,
but I enjoy watching baseball and basketball.
But for playing,
its hockey and lacrosse

I love following hockey but i was never real good as a kid. I was decent at baseball tho so i have to say baseball is my favourite sport. I'm a huge Jays fan. Hockey and football would be my second and third.

How about those Jays. I expect a big year from them this year. I think they'll be able to battle NY and Boston for division.

I am a huge fan of hockey, golf, and football. And not American Football. Really football. What most of you would consider soccer.
If I had a gun to my head and was told I had to pick only one of those, I think I would be dead because I couldn't make that choice!! |

I follow hockey religiously, but don't play.
Favourite sports to watch, in order:
1. NHL playoff hockey
2. World Cup Football (soccer)
3. Olympic volleyball
4. Olympic / Int'l / WJC hockey
5. Regular season NHL hockey
My favourite sports to play?
volleyball, tennis, badminton, basketball, baseball, table tennis
(I was an average player for a Division 1 volleyball club, which means I was a pretty good player, but two steps below professional. I still play, although not competetively anymore.)

Hockey is my life. I know as much as some 40 year olds and I'm only 13.
I also follow soccer, but I ahte watching a 90 minute game only to see a couple slide tackles and somebody hit the cross-bar. SNORE The only exciting soccer is the world cup and the english premiership.
Ellis or Mason?

Wrestling??? I sure hope you mean Olympic Wrestling, as the other forms of wrestling are far from a sport.
I forgot to add MMA to my list of sports I love. Not as much as the others I have named but pretty close. |

| Hockey is by far my favourite sport and the Mighty Maples are my number one passion. My hockey pool team and playing golf are two of my more important hobbies. I am also a big Bluejay supporter but I am less fanatical these last couple of years than in the past when I was into collecting memorablia of the team. I am more of a Jay fan than an actual baseball fan. Not very often will I watch a ball game if the Jays aren't playing unless it's the playoffs or the World Series. I play allot of golf all the while wishing I was better at it, but I don't think it will happen at my age. I usually come in with an 85 to a 97 score depending on the difficulty of the course and when things are really going bad or I drink too much beer the night before, I have been known to shoot a round of 100. I watch the Raptors on occasion but am not an avid basketballer. I watch the Cats in the CFL and The Giants and Bills in the NFL and have a real fondness for football but not to the extent that I have for hockey. Basically I like most sports and love the Olympics, both summer and winter games. I am not much into Soccer and have no use for extreme fighting or whatever they call it. That is simply too barbaric but I probably would have dug it when I was a younger man. Is horse racing and casino gambling a sport? I like to do that on the odd occasion but only when I win. LOL. |

| I used to like Shannon Stewart and wasn't too pleased when he left. Glad they got him back. Him and Reed Johnson should make a fine hitting combo in left field. |
