like most of you, I am a big fan of hockey and miss it a lot, but what other sports are you into (not just watch, but play)?

I am really into skiing and mountainbiking right now. I am having a lot of fun and I don't miss hockey at all.

So, what about the rest of you?

I stick to Skydiving and scuba diving in most of my free time, although i am thinking i may check out paragliding too, should be some nice views here on the west coast.

As for hockey, yeah i love it...do i miss seeing the NHL? Yes but it's not the end of the world

I have always wanted to try skydiving, but I always chicken out. Maybe this summer I will actually go through with it.

Is there a company you specifically use?
Is it in the Vancouver area or Washington?

I have done a majority of my jumps out of Ultimate High in sidney BC http://www.skydivevictoria.com/ Have jumped a few times att Pitt meadows, a very nice dropzone. http://www.pacificskydivers.com/ I am now jumping mostly down in washington but will be at both those dropzones a few times during this summer, i would reccomend either.

I love hockey the most, but I also enjoy lacrosse and track and field. There is still plenty of hockey around to watch though. :)

My hockey season ended soon I play lacrosse and i used to do track and field. I like to play football though with friends.

The rules for cricket aren't too hard to figure out. Just as long as you have someone who actually knows what the hell they're talking about instructing you. I actually learned them after signing up for an online game.

Soccer is my favourite sport by far. Basketball is a distant second, and after that nothing else really registers. The exceptions are the New England Patriots and anything in which a Canadian National Team is playing. I watch the World Junior Hockey Championships every winter, but only to cheer on Canada, I'm not really a big hockey guy.

CFL, NFL, NBA, NHL are my main faves. I'm currently playing on my high school's Senior Varsity football team.
