agreed.  pond hockey without hitting is fun, but real-time full-contact
hockey is the greatest.  nothing compares to the adrenalin rush of sport,
and hockey is sport at it's best.  plus, i think there's a reason that not
too many people came out to watch us on the pond last year (besides the cold).
