I was merely pointig out that the area must meet certain conditions for the sport to get developed there, namely for the ice hockey that would be ice- both natural and artificial. Same as it is with basketball, where taller people are required, which is not quite the thing that Japan excels in.

Hockey is a stupid sport in my opinion

I am glad you enjoyed it, although the funniest part about it is that it was never intended to be funny.
Btw, could you please explain why is hockey stupid, or how could be any sports "stupid" for that matter?

Damn my insufficient knowledge of Japanese language... can't read the site >_<
So could you please tell me this:

How many teams participate in JBL?
Do they draft players from other countries as well?
Is there a womens basketball league in Japan?
