Is Lacrosse popular outside of New-England?

no.

@krig and andrew: some RH leagues force you to wear full equipment which is the same stuff as ice hockey gear so its not that much cheaper. but keep in mind, i was comparing hockey to sports that require an entry fee of maybe $50. i mean, whats a basketball cost? $15? i dont even know.
also, goalie equipment is MINIMUM $1000. thats alot for someone who doesnt have rich parents.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

yeah, hockey is a rich kid sport. Its sad.
When I have kids they will learn to skate at birth!

i dunno, my dad's ice skates cost a fuckload more than my rollerblades did (not including the sale). It's funny how the US dollar is worth more yet everything seems to cost twice as much down there.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

well you can take the same boot, and put an ice blade on em, or put an inline blade on em, and the inline blade is way more, because you got wheels, and bearings.

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

yeah. I didn't get the multipurpose ones. Where I grew up there was no arena so I never really learned to ice skate. instead I took up biking and roller blading (Roller hockey on the highway \m/)

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

fuck! I wanna play roller hockey again. I was fucking good.

Is Lacrosse popular outside of New-England?

Is Lacrosse popular outside of New-England?

well, it's the state sport of Maryland, and it's huge at the high school & collegiate level throughout Virginia, North Carolina & New York, so yeah.

ONCE UPON A TIME MY DAD PLAYED HOCKEY AGAINST DOLPH LUNDGREN.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

did he break him?

 

[Hell Mike]

dunno but he wasn't called dolph back then

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

I did a movie as dolf once. It was about late rentals and cocain. I ended up eating a ton of flour. Funniest shit EVER.

 

[cthulufhtagn]

a couple dudes that i know through some friends back home have a punk band called dolph lundgren. i saw them once, they started one song with the intro to trapped under ice. i thought that was funny.
