You know I love ice hockey. I think cheese is the one thing I love more than ice hockey. I loved it so much as a kid, I even enjoyed getting up at 4AM on Saturday mornings, giving up my cartoon time, for hockey practices. And I was a fat kid too. Hockey is not a friendly game to the fats.

I can understand when the fatter kids play soccer or basketball or are automatically a catcher in little league – but hockey is different. I have never seen a fat kid playing ice hockey. It is just unnatural, like sex after 60. You are constantly moving, you have about 20lbs of equipment on and you have to wear a restricting helmet with a mouth piece, which obstructs the wheezing. People could die.

What I have also never seen is an Asian hockey player. I know that black people have made great strides this past decade in their pursuit of dominating another American sport, but never an Asian. I think we Americans should make a conscious effort to get more Asians into hockey. There are many Asian-Americans in this country, so why not recruit them to one of the nation’s fondest sports?

I think this could work. By 2010, expect a brand new National Hockey Reague.

    Seriously? There have been at least two Koreans to play the game, including one with his name on the Cup (Jim Paek and Richard Park). Last season, Yutaka Fukufuji became the first Japanese player (born AND trained) to crack the big leagues for the LA Kings. There's also a fair share of them in the college ranks (Brandon Wong/Quinnipiac, Kevin Du/Harvard), as well.

    Do some research, become surprised.

    Richard Park is Korean, as mentioned above, and is a pretty damn good player, too.

    There's no denying that it isn't at all proportional, but still!

    You can't forget Kenny Wu. He's an an Asian hockey player too.

    Ummmmm, Paul Tetsuhiko Kariya.

    He's asian-canadian, prolly the best combo ever for ice hockey.
