LOL! Anyone can play hockey...its just that for the most part only whites do. Someone once told me he thought it was because the large black populations were down south, and there isn't any outdoor rinks there, and building indoor rinks costs a fortune...

PS: are you bored this morning or just trying to see if ever post on the front page if from u :)

i grew up my whole life playing ice hockey and that sport is extremely expensive to play. we have to buy our own equipment from head to toe including ice skates which can be around $300 just for the skates. and when your a kid u grow out of them every year and need a new pair. on top of that we had to pay money to rent out a rink to practice ( and when i was young (in staten island) we didn't even have a rink on the island so we had to drive a half hour to NJ to practice) AND we have to pay for ice time for games to. The sport isn't even sponsored by NYC high schools like the other main sports so we were considered a "club" instead of a "team" anyway my point is.... i forgot... oh yeah...

hockey is expensive and unaffordable for most "inner- city youths"

- they used to make us stand in the middle of busy intersections with a can and beg for money to raise some capital for ice time and to buy our own jerseys (jersey = $80)

what do u need to get started in basketball? sneakers and a ball then u go to the local playground.

sorry to ramble on so much i always wondered what ice hockey would be like if more and more blacks started playing. they would probaly revolutionize the game

next to owning a horse for polo or whatever, ice hockey is by far the most expensive sport out there. its not hard to run a $750 dollar bill just buying a full set of equiptment, then ofcourse you buy more as it gets outgrown. you actually want to get on the ice? well, believe me, thats not cheap either... assuming you can actually find available ice time.

i played for years, and its a great sport... but a real bitch to get to play.
