          Is your local team nicknamed "The glorious"? Ours too! But it's in a different sport (hockey) so there's enough space for us both.

            Yes it is OMG, just did a small search and found out that your team is the Montreal Canadiens, amazing, I don't watch ice hockey, but maybe ill keep an eye on them :) with such an awesome nickname they can only be great :)

              We just call it hockey, if it's not on ice then it's not really hockey. :)

              Well there is this hockey https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roller_hockey_(quad), which we are quite good at, World champions and European champions several times, but it's not really the same, also it is mostly played by Latino countries, like Portugal, Spain, Italy, France, Brazil, Argentina, other countries in europe are starting to play it, like England or Germany, but they have a way to go, to get to our level, but to be honest we have been playing it for years.

              As for your Hockey we can't play it here, it's not cold enough xD

              It's just a bit weird to me to read "ice hockey" since when we speak about hockey, this is the only form we don't qualify. :)

    French, but I'm fluent in three (including French and English) and somewhat conversational in another three, for a total of six.
