if this was a joke, you failed.

cechmanek* was so horrible it was unreal. he played on some STACKED flyers teams, only reason why he put up the numbers he did with them. you throw him on the kings for one year, and he crashed and burned.

there's a reason why he never came back post-lockout; he's slow, has HORRIBLE technique, and couldn't handle a puck if it were a beachball.

the goalie in this video is as bad, maybe worse, than cechmanek. end of story.

P.S.... I meant to say it was English soldiers that invented the game on a frozen lake when they were over here serving in canada :) .... I dont think its cold enough in England for lakes to freeze up :)

to clarify my use of the word "anyone". Egyptian carvings dating back 4000 years bear a resemblance to the game, as does prehistoric Irish hurling, among other versions throughout time. Its impossible to say who "invented the sport. The word "hockey" appears in the Galway Statutes of 1527 and supposedly "hockey" was banned in England in the Middle Ages as stated in the ever trusting Wikipedia.

ice hockey wasn't really invented by anyone as stick games and sports are as old as man. However, though there is debate, the first findings of people playing hockey is in Windsor, Nova Scotia, Canada where students started playing the sport of Hurley on ice in the early 1800's. Hurley turned to Hockey as the years progressed. Also worth noting, many parts of Canada and myself included call informal hockey "shinny" which is said to derive from the word and Scottish sport Shinty. Look it up!

Of course they play Hockey In England.. If you actually do your research on the sport; youll find it was English soldiers that invented the game when they decided to play hockey on a frozen lake in winter one day. OK fair enough its not one of the best leagues in the world but loads of the players that play over there are from Canada. A few players from the NHL also went over there during the lockout.. Brendan Witt and Eric Cairns were 2 of them so it cant be that bad, its about ECHL level.
