I don't think Hockey is popular in Japan. I don't recall seeing anything involved with that sport. But maybe you can start something and make it famous! :D

OTTAWA WILL WIN MAWHAHAHAH

Anyway, I was hoping that Hockey was popular, though I never really payed enough attention to the olympics to see if Japan was in hockey...maybe I should watch that more.

Kayame: Moving to Canada......well for hockey it is the best place to live......even the minor leagues are majorly competive....I mean those 6 and 7 year olds take it very seriously....

Kayame 05-29-2007 02:25 PM

Yea, I figured that much from my dad acts when we score a goal at a game...it's a CHL team.

My mom found it in the garden in spring and it still played like brand new) and trading hockey cards with the mexican kids at my elementry school, oddly enough. I remember trading almost all of the starting red wings for a patric Roy card ( my favorite goalie ever).

Roy is ok....miller is cool, but I relly don't pay attention to them, I pay attention to the forwards, but it's funny, cause my favorite player ever is defence. SOURAY ALL THE WAY!!!! :vsign:

Hockey
 
At the moment of writing this, i am waiting for the 3rd period of LAT - JPN U18 match. The score right now is 6 - 0 ... ummmm wtf? Our national team is far from being good, but this is just ridiculous.

So what's up with hockey movement in Japan? I had some hard time while digging up info on hockey in the country of the rising sun. Anyone here who wants to share some thoughts/info about it?

BakaCrisis 04-10-2008 12:15 PM

there's hockey in japan???? Well you learn something new everyday

The Japanese national ice hockey team is the national men's ice hockey of Japan. They are currently ranked 22nd in the IIHF World Ranking and currently compete in IIHF World Championship Division I. They have competed in nine Olympics Games competitions.

They are also participating in ALIH with 4 teams.

Nagoyankee 04-10-2008 12:26 PM

It's really simple. In Japan, many of the kids with the best athletic abilities will usually choose to play baseball or soccer. There are professonal leagues in both and kids have their own favorite teams and/or individual players that they admire and aspire to be like in the future.

As for hockey, I don't think I've ever seen a game on TV in Japan. I never knew anything about it when I was a kid, and I still don't know much about it. It's just not a game people here in Japan talk about as often as some other games.

Excessum 04-10-2008 12:45 PM

What about Olympics... You've got to support your national team, right? Or are you blaspheming this as well? :eek:

P.S. The game ended 9-0... it's rather unexpected when taking in-to consideration the fact that JPN were the vice champions last year (I am speaking about the U18 championship here).

steve88 04-10-2008 01:01 PM

How about the field hockey result for Olympic qualifier which is currently playing
