- Kind of "big" in Europe, not so in NA, if I remember correctly Canada and USA joined the first world championships like 2 years ago.

No offense intended but my god, the outfits, the sticks, the balls ... looks like a gay version of ball/floor hockey.

I would rather have a player go by me on a break away. Y
He has more pressure on him, doesn't have all the time in the world, has minimal space to move, and you guys have a chance to stop him (not a high chance but its still a chance)

Sure, not offended, but what makes the other ones not seem gay? because they wear pads? That's more gay imo. :P

I play ball hockey often because it is substantially cheaper than ice while providing a similar experience. Also, you wear much less equipment which makes getting ready and leaving much quicker.
I can skate and played ice hockey from 5-18 but have pretty much fully converted to ball hockey at this point. I actually like the differences in the game (top end speed is slower, transition is much faster).

I can vouch for this.
Still deserves a few balls shot his way this weekend though, lol.

He also uses a stick that is twice the height that he is and still manages to dangle around people, so I can see why the tripping usually occurs. As for the Leagues he's played in and from what he's told me, he's never tried to hurt anybody on purpose.
Also, I'd prefer the breakaway over the P.S only because during a breakaway you usually don't have enough time to do what you want to do.

Agre.... wait.... TWICE a week?!
Are you guys playing another night without me? 
Seriously though, Scorp is a good guy, one of the cleanest I've ever had the pleasure of playing with. Not once in all the times playing with him have I ever thought of him as a dirty player.
Which is why his OP is so funny, lol.

We play another night at Westside Chinese Alliance Church. It is really REALLY REALLY not competitive though, and girls, kids, and their moms also play. It's more of a socializing night with ball hockey thrown in. Needless to say, I don't purposely trip anyone there.  You're welcome to come but I don't think you'll like it much.
Ouch, StrykerSteve can really shoot the ball, so I'll have to remember to wear my cup this week.
