To be honest, I had no idea that neither Mexico nor South Africa played ice hockey... they seem more like soccer nations, really. But it's a pleasant surprise, though :)
For real... reminds me of the Hockey matches at my ancient high school in Montreal!!! LOLLOLOLOL... Well at least Mexico's not that bad, hey the know thre rules!
well, everyone has stated something by now, but let me say that this players are not professional hockey players, they have every day jobs or are students, because professional hockey does not even exist in mexico, in mexico mexico city there are no more than 2 or 3 ice rinks, and some countries from europe have more ice rinks and less inhabitants than the city. I hope one day we all grow to accept that some do just for the fun and are good at it
Why the fuck are people trashing these guys. Ice Hockey is not popular in Mexico or South Africa, it's not part of their culture, deal with it, this is the best they've got, of course they're not gonna be as good as Canada and the USA, give them a break. Now let's go watch the Canadian mens soccer team play and we can all laugh at that. I'm Canadian btw.
I love the way Americans and Canadians laugh at these teams, but if their local college team or club (excluding franchises) were to play Mexico at ice hockey they would get beat pretty bad. There's NHL coaches working with that national team and I just played their U18s in Div iiib WCs and they were tough, they were fit and good passers and they ran the complete shit out of us...
@Gimpyn00b nah a lot of the people in these teams including Mexico are half canadian or half american and play hockey in those countries but are eligible to play for their national team, that's what makes them so good - there's even a few midget AAA players in the Israeli national team it's ridiculous lol
@znogypogy it really doesn't, Israel finished 2nd last in the tournament this year I'd like to see a bantam team play iceland U18s and win lol just wouldn't happen.
@sarmenia yeah im not talking about AHL I'm talking about your college or something - this is footage of U18s teams and it's from 2005 so the squads would be completely different by now. We talked to the players from other teams - Israel has 2 midget AAA hockey players and their first line were all residents in Canada or America with American accents lol and Israel finished 4th out of 5 :P
@Shaftsus Its just the competition level buddy, dont get me wrong I want to see the entire world be as good as Russia Canada and USA but there are not enough people playing in these coutnries. Its not about the athletes they are all good but the general speed of the game to compete at even the NCAA D3 level is way beyond this. Please realize I want nothing more than to see the sport grow and I am not putting any of these great athletes down
southamerica plays lots of hockey....but not on ice....is on grass, indoor...or roller in line skates.... our weather is tropical...as the caribean one, thats why we dont play ice hockey....we r not interested in that neither......the only thing that canada could be champion of..., is about having more ice cubes..lol
@yopussybitch i dont know if they r pretty good or not.....but u have to understand the courage for a latin country to overcome is this kind of sports of ice.....in latin america snow is just on highlands.....not in the city....
@jai18ansostie u soccer?? hahahahahhaha canada in soccer?? cum on man please...defend ur country with reality..not dreaming..CANADA SUCKS...REALLY REALLY SUCKS IN SOCCER...U DONT PLAY SOCCER..YOU TRY TO DO IT...AND U CANT CUZ YOU WERE NOT BORN FOR THAT SPORT.....SOCCER IS JUST FOR LATIN AMERICANS AND EUROPEANS.....U BETTER KEEP EATING ICE HAHAHAHHAA
The traditional sport in Mexico is not Soccer, but Bullfighting. You canadians! try to tie us in Bullfighting. Hint: There are not written rules in Bullfighting, rules and a sense of scoring have to be intuitively learned by many years of observation and internalizing. Also, a bullfighter that is not beaten by a bull at least once a year, is not a good bullfighter. In a decade, a bullfighter is dishonored if he doesn´t go badly wounded to the hospital at least twice.
@su0700200 OK first of all Canada has 28 millon ppl and Football has not been popular till the 1970s.And Canada beat or Tied Mexico many times in Football but Mexico's Hockey team never ever going to be in the same group to even have a chance to play Canada.Anyways we shouldn't even fight we should be sticking together and make it harder for the USA to keep using us!!! Adios Amigos Mexicanos viva Mexico et Canada la duos Amigos.I don't know if my Spanish is understandable lol I tried
@jozsefkacsa Really?? its impossible to beleive that Canada had beat Mexico in the past.....let me review the statics.... Im not mexican.....im southamerican (Peru), i admire the canadian ice hockey....and all your winter sports because you live in a very cold country.... but i like your idea of the union between canada and mexico to fuck u.s.a Just 28 million of canadians?? wow...we are almost 30 million of Peruvians...lol....
@su0700200 Actually the last Football game we played vs Mexico was 2:2 it was in Vancouver.I follow Football because I'm originally from Hungary and love Football.Yea it's messed up that here we only have 28 million ppl we're the 2.nd largest country in the world but the northern 55% of Canada has population less than 50 thousand I'm 1 of'em.The Canadian national team players are all playing in Europe mostly in England only 2 or 3 in the MLS Thanx for your comment Peace
@jozsefkacsa Hungary...yeah i remember u got a great soccer team in the 70's. I didnt know most of canadian players play in england...i guess in the first division and not in the premier league.... This year Peru went to Canada with our "C" team....and we beat them 2-0...very easily... =) i know that only the 45% of canadian territory is available for human life...because there are lot of lakes...rivers....and snow.. peace dude!!!!!
@su0700200 It's actually not as cold in Canada as people perceive it to be. Sure, it snows for about 6-7 months of the year but we do get summer and it can get quite hot (over 40 C above). And to end this arguement you're having with jozesfkasca, Canada kicks ass in hockey, gets ass kicked in football (although our women's team is 8th place in the world.)
@hckyroxs hahahha yeah i know that dude....and i really admire canadian ice hockey...im always supporting the canadian teams against american teams in the NHL...... i didnt know about your 8th place in female football.....congratultions!! i hope the canadian male football team someday improve its level too
@su0700200 oh no doubt that there is a large gap between Canada and Mexico in soccer. Mexico is a perennial World Cup team and Canada has only qualified once. But my point was that the gap between nations is much smaller in soccer than it is in hockey.
en mexico hay mucho talento en el hcokey sobre hielo, lo que faklta es una liga profesional, aun nno tenemos liga péro si la conade y algunos empresarios le invierten dinero al hockey podriamos tener excelentes resultados a futuro esperemos que la seleccion mexicana clasifique a la segunda division del hockey mundial ahorita acabamos de ascender a tercera hay que apoyar al hockey en vez de apoyar el futbol soccer que se le invierte muchsimo dinero y no pasa nada
@barcadani25 no mames, Mexico esta en 2a division, ahora se jugara el ascenso a 1era division, hay buenos jugadores, espero ver un dia a la seleccion en el campeonato mundial, en cuanto a la liga si hay liga de hockey pero es colegial aunque muy bien estructurada y todo, yo si le veo futuro al equipo .
no orita mexico esta en la divison II A que viene siendo la cuarta division del hockey mundial en esa division esta australia, belgica, nueva zelanda, korea del norte, serbia y mexico, la primera division viene siendo la top division ahi estan las mejores selecciones canada, estados unidos, rusia, republica checa entre otras, y la segunda division es la division IA, y la tercera es la division IB, hace poco mexico estubo en la divison IB pero descendio hace 2 años,
el proximo campeonato que jugara mexico sera en australia contra las seleciones que mencione, si mexico queda entre los primeros 2 del torneo asciende a la division IB que viene siendo la tercera division ojal y en la television pasaran los partidos de mexico de hockey, me encantaria ver a mexico no en un mundial si no en juegos olimpicos de invierno en el hockey es algo dificil pero trabajando y soñando se pueden conseguir los obejtivos
This is probably the worst place for this, but does anyone know of a way i can contact someone from the Mexican hockey federation and see that the requirements are to try out for a team down there, I've been a goalie for 11yrs and im itching to measure myself against those guys, any help would be appreciated.
All people who love hockey should like new teams, new countries, new players to participate in this beautiful game. Maybe one day guys like them become great hockey players and play even in the nhl. Even a libanese guy made it to the nhl !!
Why so much hate? This is hockey, good or bad, I love seeing both of these countries playing the game, just wish my country (america) would show more hockey love.
@Sephirot1994 Sweden used to be really good at soccer, and Germany is good at both ice hockey and soccer (obviously way better at soccer, but they came 4th year in the IIHF 2010 world championship)
@sebbeks not to be mean or anything, but germany? the statistics tell a different story. in the olympics they didnt win a match and they should've been in the lower division if it werent for the home tournament. but yeah i think germany did a great job this year
@Sephirot1994 I guess they are in the top 15. national soccer teams outside of the top 15 are considered good, but by FAR from best. germany would whip austrian butt, or any other nation who plays hockey in a lower division. they were very close to extend the third period into overtime in the world championship against the russian "dream team".
i love to see hockey being played all over the globe. its the greatest sport once you really get into it and when you watch and play enough you will agree. i don't care how good anyone is, as long as they are promoting the game and having fun doing so while being competitive.
Not hockey power houses but its nice to see the game growing in new countries. This kind of looks like the the equivalent to Midget house or like B in Canada. What level is it one the world stage? Anyone know?
@LAO90 Mejor dile a tu mama que me deje de chupar la verga... dile a tu papa que vaya a lavar mas platos.....y tu hermana que dejo sus calzones en mi carro,,,, si entiendes ingles "SUCK DEEZNUTS BIATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Both soccer and hockey are strenuous sports that require their athletes to be in peak physical condition. I play hockey recreationally and used to play soccer. I quit soccer simply because I wasn't excelling at it. Hockey requires you to be able to skate and stick handle at the same time, soccer requires you to run and handle the ball. Have you seen a soccer pitch though? My legs are burning just thinking about it.
im mexican and thats not mexico's sport, soccer is their sport so i couldnt imagine mexico playing canada in hockey because canada will woop on them, but in soccer mexico will woop on canada
@chvasmex I played both soccer and hockey (i still play here and there). Dude, bviously, you never played hockey. Hockey is so much more difficult not just to learn but to maintain the level of skills. Everybody can run, only so many can really skate. Anyone who has two legs can handle the ball only so many are good with their hands on sticks. Soccer allows for little body contact. Hockey rules allow for lot of it. Hockey beats soccer hands down in skills requirements.
ive played hockey but with friends and i know what you mean because not alot of people know how to skate and control a puck with a stick but soccer is very complicated. try kicking a ball at 40 km per hour
try taking a freekick and not kicking it over the net.....
hockey is more physical but try and watch the premier league (England) and you'll see that theres a lot more contact.
try getting fouled when your running at full speed....
@micanut48 clearly u no nothing about soccer... in soccer u dont just run around with a ball.. it takes much more skill than that.. u have to have accuracy and u must be able to curve because all pro's can curve very welll and make it look effort less and im pretty sure curving is harder than anything in hockey.. also u must have good control and good speed.. in hockey u need speed(skating) , hand eye coordination, strength and skills with ur hands on sticks. soccer beats hockey by a land slide
@lovejessica531 not really, I think hockey is almost as beautiful (and players have to be even more graceful), much faster, and a HELL of a lot more physical. Although both games are amazing and skillful: So much for your landslide. I would have to give it to ice hockey. Sorry
@lovejessica531 just read your BS. Like I said, been playin' both sports for the longest time. Was much better in soccer than in hockey. I KNOW soccer, you ignorant you. Have you ever laced up a pair of hockey skates and tried it? I will eat my stick if tou really did because only igno rant like you can say something this dumb. I also Coach so I know WHAT IT TAKES to play either sport. Those who brag about pussycality of soccer never got hit just once in hockey!

@burakomin so...whats the joke??? should i laugh about???? its the same to see u.s.a or canada playing soccer......u dont even know the shape of a ball.....
@su0700200 while generally Mexico is a better country at soccer than us, Canada has beaten them before (2000 Gold Cup quater finals comes to mind) so Canada can at least be respectable against Mexico in soccer, but if they two nations played at Hockey, Canada would be in the tripple digits. (and that isn't a knock against Mexico, that is just how far apart they are)
@JCMoney yeah sure dude..i have no doubt about Canada on ice hockey...u r top 5 best teams on ice hockey of the world....but in soccer?? despite u won a game against mexico...its just casualty....around 4 months ago, canada played soccer in toronto against the team B of Peru....and Peru won without their stars...
I hope to see Mexico and the rest of the hockey developing countries get a chance to play in the senior leagues around the world, including the NHL. Also, hopefully in the Senior World Championships someday.
@BoiCanadian soccer n baseball??? who said something about baseball here??? if u call "soccer" to football in europe or southamerica...you'd better run cuz u'll get punched.....socccer is a gay word invented by north america to name football....football is the real name n is older than that stupid sport of the NFL that u name like that too. baseball is practiced here..but not so much....surfing is more popular here...even more than football (soccer for u)
Mexico has more bigger people than Canada because it is ethnically diverse and has a population of over 111,000,000. I believe Canada has only 35,000,000. Hockey isn't popular in Mexico, hence the big gap in skill. Even though hockey isn't very popular in America we have so many people that there are roughly the same number of hockey players in America as there are in Canada, thus the talent levels are much closer.
@snake5891 I know Mexicans that are my height, and I'm only 5'7. It's the desire to win and the skill that's the end result, not the population difference nor the size in height. Look at the U.S and Russia, they have more people than Canada does and yet we still beat them in so many championships.
Guys You need some semi-profesional league in Mexico or one mexican team to be placed in some of the lower leagues in US. That would realy help. I wanna see You in division I one day!
I agree. But I am not disputing that. I am only mentioning that the idea that ALL mexicans are small is wrong. Descendants of Mayans and Zapotecs are smaller. Those coming from the Yaqui, Tarahumara and Irritila indians are big. Mexico City people are smaller. Those from Guadalajara or Monterrey are big. If Hockey ever makes it as a professional sport in Mexico you'll see big guys showing up to play it. The Mexican Basquetball league is full of players as tall as any in the world.
Just re-read what you just wrote. Do you think that playing soccer requires no physique?
When Hockey is played professionally in Mexico, and the players are paid as good as soccer players, there will be hundreds of big Mexicans to join the sport. Meanwhile it is just a curiosity.
It is true that in general Mexicans are of smaller physical size. But notice that I said IN GENERAL. In general most Americans are not the size of football players either. The Mexican professional athletes are bigger, faster, stronger than the rest of the population, just like everywhere else in the world. With a population of 110 million, there are more tall people in Mexico than in Switzerland, Canada, or Austria. Size is only part of the story, you still need skill and interest.
Of course. So is it in any sport, long tradition with the sport produces better teams early. The Mexican National Team U17 gave a pitiful beating to the US College champions; 16 year old kids walking all over 21 year old men. Funny? Yes. Surprising? No. Those 16 year olds have probably been kicking the ball since they were 3, and they know how much money Mexican soccer players earn. They have a soccer career in mind. The americans will probably stop playing the moment they finish college.
Nothing to be proud man! Im from Mexico and I love hockey, but real hockey!! this is slow motion.. imagine this team against Canada... Luongo, Crosby, Iginla, Weber, even Bergeron....
Les deseo suerte, pero distan mucho de estar en la elite de este deporte... alguno de ustedes mide mas de 1.85? Se imaginan al lado de Chara de los Bruins...

All people who love hockey should like new teams, new countries, new players to participate in this beautiful game. Maybe one day guys like them become great hockey players and play even in the nhl. Even a libanese guy made it to the nhl !!

@Sephirot1994 Sweden used to be really good at soccer, and Germany is good at both ice hockey and soccer (obviously way better at soccer, but they came 4th year in the IIHF 2010 world championship)

@sebbeks not to be mean or anything, but germany? the statistics tell a different story. in the olympics they didnt win a match and they should've been in the lower division if it werent for the home tournament. but yeah i think germany did a great job this year
Sephirot1994 1 year ago
@Sephirot1994 I guess they are in the top 15. national soccer teams outside of the top 15 are considered good, but by FAR from best. germany would whip austrian butt, or any other nation who plays hockey in a lower division. they were very close to extend the third period into overtime in the world championship against the russian "dream team".

Both soccer and hockey are strenuous sports that require their athletes to be in peak physical condition. I play hockey recreationally and used to play soccer. I quit soccer simply because I wasn't excelling at it. Hockey requires you to be able to skate and stick handle at the same time, soccer requires you to run and handle the ball. Have you seen a soccer pitch though? My legs are burning just thinking about it.

and no i dont mean kick the ball and run after it i mean run with the ball and be able to pass the ball around 40 yards or more.....
and theres way more to it........try running for 90 min..

chvasmex 1 year ago
@chvasmex I played both soccer and hockey (i still play here and there). Dude, bviously, you never played hockey. Hockey is so much more difficult not just to learn but to maintain the level of skills. Everybody can run, only so many can really skate. Anyone who has two legs can handle the ball only so many are good with their hands on sticks. Soccer allows for little body contact. Hockey rules allow for lot of it. Hockey beats soccer hands down in skills requirements.
micanut48 1 year ago
@micanut48
ive played hockey but with friends and i know what you mean because not alot of people know how to skate and control a puck with a stick but soccer is very complicated. try kicking a ball at 40 km per hour
try taking a freekick and not kicking it over the net.....
hockey is more physical but try and watch the premier league (England) and you'll see that theres a lot more contact.
try getting fouled when your running at full speed....
it hurts like a bitch
chvasmex 1 year ago
@micanut48 clearly u no nothing about soccer... in soccer u dont just run around with a ball.. it takes much more skill than that.. u have to have accuracy and u must be able to curve because all pro's can curve very welll and make it look effort less and im pretty sure curving is harder than anything in hockey.. also u must have good control and good speed.. in hockey u need speed(skating) , hand eye coordination, strength and skills with ur hands on sticks. soccer beats hockey by a land slide

@su0700200 while generally Mexico is a better country at soccer than us, Canada has beaten them before (2000 Gold Cup quater finals comes to mind) so Canada can at least be respectable against Mexico in soccer, but if they two nations played at Hockey, Canada would be in the tripple digits. (and that isn't a knock against Mexico, that is just how far apart they are)

Mexico has more bigger people than Canada because it is ethnically diverse and has a population of over 111,000,000. I believe Canada has only 35,000,000. Hockey isn't popular in Mexico, hence the big gap in skill. Even though hockey isn't very popular in America we have so many people that there are roughly the same number of hockey players in America as there are in Canada, thus the talent levels are much closer.
snake5891 1 year ago
@snake5891 I know Mexicans that are my height, and I'm only 5'7. It's the desire to win and the skill that's the end result, not the population difference nor the size in height. Look at the U.S and Russia, they have more people than Canada does and yet we still beat them in so many championships.

I agree. But I am not disputing that. I am only mentioning that the idea that ALL mexicans are small is wrong. Descendants of Mayans and Zapotecs are smaller. Those coming from the Yaqui, Tarahumara and Irritila indians are big. Mexico City people are smaller. Those from Guadalajara or Monterrey are big. If Hockey ever makes it as a professional sport in Mexico you'll see big guys showing up to play it. The Mexican Basquetball league is full of players as tall as any in the world.
SoaringHoosier 2 years ago
Just re-read what you just wrote. Do you think that playing soccer requires no physique?
When Hockey is played professionally in Mexico, and the players are paid as good as soccer players, there will be hundreds of big Mexicans to join the sport. Meanwhile it is just a curiosity.
SoaringHoosier 2 years ago
It is true that in general Mexicans are of smaller physical size. But notice that I said IN GENERAL. In general most Americans are not the size of football players either. The Mexican professional athletes are bigger, faster, stronger than the rest of the population, just like everywhere else in the world. With a population of 110 million, there are more tall people in Mexico than in Switzerland, Canada, or Austria. Size is only part of the story, you still need skill and interest.

Of course. So is it in any sport, long tradition with the sport produces better teams early. The Mexican National Team U17 gave a pitiful beating to the US College champions; 16 year old kids walking all over 21 year old men. Funny? Yes. Surprising? No. Those 16 year olds have probably been kicking the ball since they were 3, and they know how much money Mexican soccer players earn. They have a soccer career in mind. The americans will probably stop playing the moment they finish college.
