I love it! You’re in Atlanta right? Can you bounce a quarter off of him at 20 paces?

Imagine how hot ATL must be compared to being on the ice or living in Canada, eh. He can’t keep his closes on.

Wow! Cool! That is very interesting information, Kate.
By the way, we live next door to a professional hockey player. He is known around the neighborhood as the guy that never wears a shirt (he literally never wears a shirt).

By hockey I assume you mean ICE hockey as opposed to proper hockey; and by football, I assume you mean AMERICAN football rather than the football played everywhere else in the world!!
sorry, couldn’t resist!

Great metaphor, interesting blog and nice use of video.

Not sure what all the punching is about, though?!

The interesting part to me is the sport or activity you use as a metaphor to describe something. If you always use hockey or football to relate something then it affects how you approach business and life. Your perceptional world and your experience of it is much different than someone who uses another comparison. Steve Chambers, B2B Sale Trainer

Kate:

Fascinating analysis. I never would have thought of a hockey game as a metaphor of the business life.

The video added a real nice touch to your story.

Great work.

I've heard ice hockey is a tough sport that is fast moving and lots of fighting. Seems fun to watch. Keri Eagan Anything Alternative

I prefer football myself but that is so true about the hurt player being hauled off the field where as hockey they can be a little more brutal and not look back – it’s the game.

As a Minnesota boy, I played and watched hockey while growing up. The explosions of violence seem to come from nowhere but when you have been playing physical for a while, and your opponent gets a little to forceful with the stick, you get really pissed and you explode.

Hockey is a great sport- I miss the North Stars! We have the Atlanta Thrashers who have never achieved anything (yet) and I get to a couple games a year but mainly I go to local ECHL games for 20% of the cost.

To me, hockey is exciting to watch for the skills and the combat.

Hockey! Did someone mention HOCKEY! you IMMEDIATELY captivated MY attention (lol) and I started to froth over at the mouth. I wonder if watching all that testosterone skating around bumping each other has the stupifying affect on women that looking at pix of sexy beautiful women has on men?

It is important for the team relationships to have An Enforcer who ensures that no one touches my virgin baby sister, aka The Goalie. Owen Nolan was that for the San Jose Sharks when he was there. *sniff* Miss him.

Of course in Stanley Cup aka The Cup and #CupCrazy on Twitter, there is the whole issue of taking STUPID penalties.

A very interesting post. I’m going to go tell twitter because I do well with the #Hockey hashtag. Others just might come look at your hot blog, lady! Richly deserved.

Happy Dating and Relationships,
