Expand Don’t feel bad. I’m English and Scottish, and both countries aren’t known for producing stellar hockey stars. However, there was Mariusz Czerkawski. I thought you might have remembered him from at least 10-15 years ago. 1 Quote
FogBat Posted March 18, 2022 Report Posted March 18, 2022 On 3/17/2022 at 1:11 PM, That Aud Smell said: Hockey was/is a massive part of Russia's 20th century culture. I wonder if that alone has had an influence on Poland's view of the sport. OTOH, the regions of the former Czech Republic embraced hockey, notwithstanding their former imperialist occupier's affection for the sport. But every culture is different. My sense is that Poland has a unique, singular antipathy for Russia. Expand That would not surprise me one bit. There’s quite a bit of history and bad blood between those two countries. The Katyn Forest massacre is still fresh on the minds of those who lived to tell about it, and was made all the more raw when an official Polish delegation that was on their way to memorialize the event died in a plane crash in 2010. 1 Quote

Expand Easy explanation. Poland isn't a very rich country and they have next to no indoor arenas. Almost all of the hockey is played outdoors on the Baltic Sea. When a player gets a breakaway, they never see him again...... Edited March 18, 2022 by Ducky Quote
