Who needs the NHL?

Sounds like a fun sport to play - I'm not sure about watching it though.

I tried to watch the home opener of the Swarm. Yes there is scoring, but dang it, I could never see the stupid ball. The announcer must have had binoculors. As for the hitting, I didn't see any knock down checks. The guys would bump and just swing their sticks at each other. I was expecting more.

I'm guessing it's a sport like hockey that is much better live.

It does look like fun to play.
