I could get into some Lacrosse. The Kid played some in middle and high school and played on a State Championship team. And apparently we have a semi-pro team right here in Cbus.
But this is the Hockey Thread you liberal hipster ba$tard!

Actually, lacrosse is the official sport of Canada! Not hockey!
It's also an interesting sport because a. it originated with the native Americans, and b. it's so different between men and women. Like, for women the stick that cradles the ball has a flat net so you have to do rotating motion constantly else it'll fall out, for guys they basically have a little butterfly net and check football style.
I should also note btw for you old(er) folks that guy lacrosse players are always kinda infamous for being doucebag studs on campus, particularly in the South. Because unlike other sports, which are much more integrated, basically all the guys who play lacrosse are white so the stereotypical idea is all the girls who want to fuck an athlete but not the
wrong kind of athlete go for lacrosse parties. (Why do we not have a throwing up milie, totally need one.) That's one of the reasons the fake story about the Duke lacrosse players and the black stripper was so sensational.
