Well I did my own version of this compatibilty test and it worked!  My
finace'e was a hockey player, field hockey that is, but wasn't sure of
the ice version of the game.  I took her the holiest of hockey places,
The Forum in Montreal, and on bended knees asked her to marry me.  She
said yes and thought it was very appropriate for me!  Well she still
hasn't backed out (wedding date 12-Oct-91), but is still against naming
our first born Wayne Gretzky Hames (the next Wayne Gretzky) :-).
Although she has allowed our first gineau pig to be named Wayne :-).
 
goin' to get married,
Sean Hames aka hockey the puck
