Engrossed by the competitive games odd rituals and strange rules, Americans across the country reportedly expressed fascination Wednesday upon discovering the bizarre Olympic sport of hockey. From what I can tell, its this weird foreign ice sport with a lot of sticks, but its really interesting watching everyone chase after this little black disc, said Bellevue, NE resident Lucas Castillo, 32, who was captivated by the strange intermissions when a loud siren blared, the competitors left the playing field, and a mascot entertained the crowd by driving a funny vehicle on the ice.I can kind of follow it, but I never really know whats going on. Players try to put the disc in the net, but they have to avoid crossing weird lines on the ice or something. Its one of those things thats fun to watch during the Olympics, but its easy to see why it hasnt caught on like handball. Despite their mild interest in the sport, Americans unanimously confirmed that theres no way hockey could ever gain widespread popularity in the United States.
