Just giving you a hard time as I can not believe you find ball hockey more fun than actual hockey.

I understand where you are coming from...
I started ball hockey when I was 13-14 maybe and still playing minor hockey. Didn't like ball hockey then much, only played it on the side to work on my ice skills that were a bit lacking (stickhandling etc).
I was surprised at how much it grew on me over the years...now, many many years later I haven't played ice in about 8-10 years but have been playing ball hockey steadily throughout that time frame.
I still look at ice hockey fondly, I just find that you can get the same high level of competitiveness (or casual) as well as the high enthusiasm for beers after just as easily. I love the fact that it is cheaper, way less prep time before games and how it is actually played a bit differently. I think ball hockey is a lot faster transition wise than ice...and slower top end speed. The way ice vs ball play is different, but similar enough that if you enjoy one, you will enjoy the other.
If some of you are wondering about it...check it out. It is great fun!
