Hockey is fast, has lots of physical contact and controlled agression, requires athletes to be highly skilled and fit and requries in depth teamwork.
The games are exciting to watch and even more exciting to play.
Obviously the sport is superior to baseball (slow and boring), basketball (too much scoring and not enough variation in the flow of the play), football (too much stop time, not enough action per minute of the game), soccer (not enough scoring, not enough contact).
But is it the ultimate sport?

To Biffo: only 'ice' hockey is ever referred to as hockey. Field hockey always has the qualifier in front of it. True afficionadoes never use the word 'ice' in front of hockey, the distinction is self-explanatory. Also, with players skating at 50mph and pucks being shot at 100mph I doubt that hurling is faster.

To Chairman of the bored: whether or not Americans get hockey is meaningless. It remains the best sport in spite of your inability to follow the play and understand what is happening. (BTW: there were more bench clearing brawls in baseball than hockey every year for the past 10 years.) If you learned to understand the game you might not be so bored all the time.

Are you talking about ice hockey or field hockey?
There is a game in Ireland called Hurling which is similar to hockey but more intense.It's the fastest field game in the world. Players don't have any armour. Carry sticks similar to hockey sticks and usually there's a row at every game. There's lots of blood and lots of scores. Check it out

Hockey sucks @ss, that's why no one in the US gave shite when there was a strike.
If all you goons wanna do is punch each other out, then join UFC, (human cockfighting). Hockey is a minor major league sport, always has been always will be, sorry....
