Where's the Hoops ?

Let's see... Curling, floor hockey, squash, racquetball. Where's the hoops game? Come on, Canadians. I know you play ball. I mean, Steve Nash. Where will he play when he's a 45-year-old retired baller with tapped up knees and ankles?

Speaking of injured joints, my friend Chris summed up his approach to pick-up ball in his 30's thusly: he won't play in a game unless the ballers are wearing braces or tape. I like that rule. If you don't tape up your ankles and knees, you're too young for me.

I have a sneaking feeling I'm going to have to take up floor hockey. The gym at the local YMCA has hockey goals under the baskets. Damn.
