We're very sorry to all of our Canadian viewers, we didn't mean to offend you by calling this an American sport. We were just referring to the NHL as being an American run league. We will try to be more accurate next time.

"I wonder if anyone's been injured with the blades?" Don't tell her but a goalkeeper by the name of Clint Malarchuk got his jugular vein slit by a skate blade in an NHL game. He survived because there was a team doctor who was a vietnam war vet there who pinched it shut until they could get it taken care of. It was pretty gruesome, definitely one of the scariest injuries I can think of in pro sports. Now the goalies all wear a protective piece of plastic around their neck to prevent that from happening though.

As someone who has played hockey their entire life, most of the time it doesn't hurt until you get out of bed the next day. That's when you really feel the pain.

[cjpreach]

"I went to a Fight the other day, and a Hockey Game broke out." That's the old joke, anyway.

[lucasa]

as a Northern American we always look at the Canadians as the most brutal/fun players out there

[justgearheadstuff]

As a Canadian i think it's cute when people call it "ice hockey" or " snow skiing " it's just Hockey and Skiing to us. I love other cultures different sayings.

People also don’t realize you are moving much faster than sports that you have to run. The impacts are quite significant.

[jacktupp]

Using their stick when hitting someone is called cross checking and it's a penalty if caught.

[benscott]

I’m a Canadian who plays rugby and hockey. Most people in Canada don’t know much about rugby and think that it’s insane rugby players don’t wear equipment. It’s cool to see that you guys have a similar reaction to hockey as most Canadians do to rugby.

[davidcruz]

Your daughter is one of the most observant, stoic person I've ever seen. Watching all your reactions is fabulous, but she is quite a unique individual. Your family is so good and wholesome, we love you all. Wonderful people!

[averagejoe]

There is a lot of fighting in the NHL, less now than in the past but it is still part of the game.

[johntarnowski]

One of the first rules you learn when you're learning to play hockey is keep your head up

[jtom]

An old Canadian/hockey saying is “keep your head up and keep your stick on the ice”

[SFDoucette]

On a work trip to hockey-mad Minnesota, I was talking to someone who was a defenseman in high school. He said he loved playing defense because "every now and then you just have to whale on somebody". That's hockey: fast, athletic, passionate, and full contact.

[tommaxwell]

It is hard to see just how huge and strong these guys are. Like American Football and Rugby these guys are monsters. They are all well over 6 feet and probably in the 230 lb range. The speed at which these guys are moving, and in opposite directions, creates an impact force that is huge. The athleticism of these guys is amazing. They are indeed well padded up but those outfits are heavy! They are tough dudes you wouldn't want angry at you.

[JDubs]

Being a Canadian its awesome to see people watch the sport for the first time! I love it! XD

[floydhill]

I probably already said it on your other channel, but hockey is one of those games that to fully appreciate, you have got to watch it live. On TV the cameramen are tracking the players, and the puck, so you don't really get a good feel for how fast they are actually going. You might get a slight idea if you try to fix your eyes on something stationary in the video.

[josephcottone]

The most brutal thing ever witnessed in a hockey game was when a goalie named Clint Malarchuk had his jugular nicked by an upended player. The swift action of the trainer saved his life. He nearly died on the ice.

[crazydrummer]

That was so adorable when she said “The Bash Brothers!” Lol

[ireneklassen]

Winnipeg Jets fan of the NHL here watching you guys. Not just a Jets fan but a real live Winnipeger alive and thriving in Canada. It’s a pleasure mtg you and learning from you.
