    I was in Buenos Aires and saw a hockey shop and I was like, whaaaat? Then I realized it was selling field hockey equipment. Most places I travel, if you talk about hockey it means field hockey, and you have to say “ice hockey” if that’s what you’re talking about.

    Hockey requires manufactured ice.

    Most of the world can’t make a suitable surface for most of the year.

    Saskatchewan can make enough to field a whole league of players.
