TIME Writer: "Give Hockey (and Me) One More Shot"

The league has even offered to let me be commissioner for a day. When I pitched that last idea, Josh said, "If the NHL would let you be commissioner for a year, we'd have something. Because then you'd change that stupid sport."

Josh has a valid point here.

director Kevin Smith argued that hockey has "Heroes! Villains! Costumes! Masks! Fights! It's a comic book come to life ... at any moment, someone might try to punch someone else in the face!"

I'm not deluding myself. I know hockey is a subculture and that few of you will join it. But you should still vote to let me write about it. We're at risk of becoming a society in which we read only about topics we're already interested in, and TIME is one of the last places that tries to satisfy the intellectually curious.

That is a large part of it's appeal. In the USA, hockey fans are a unique minority. A fraternity.

We are a cult with several squabbling factions that often ridicule and despise each others' teams. Those of us that are not total idiots do, grudgingly, offer congratulations to our opponents after a loss.

I love this game.
