Well, right, it's not a ball, but somehow people tend to think of it as a ball. It has a round shape. I don't know. I just like the word pucky. Puckyball

Another theory is the original Mexicans had a game similar to soccer where they used their knees and hips and chest and (I think) head to pass and move a round ball (no, not a skull!) into a hoop high on a wall in order to score. It's hard to describe this game but I've seen recreations of it on TV and it's kind of a wierd-looking soccer. The bad news is if your team lost the game, you all lost your lives! Not very nice if you ask me...
that game that the spanish used to play was between prisoners of captured tribes. that is where basketball came from. except in their game, the hoop is on a wall and not on a post at the center of a base line.

i see wat yall are saying about football. but isnt soccer called "futbol" and not football? isnt it just a homophone?

Yeah, I've got to admit... "puckyball" does have a nice ring to it.

Dont mind me. "Sarcasm" is my middle name, along with "Extremely annoying"

Maybe it will grow on me.

I have added your name to the petition, though we still have to find more puckyball supporters! Right now, it's just you, me and a few others.

Re: Can anyone explain this?

Should I kick things off by changing our NHL forum's name to the Puckyball Forum?
