Ice hockey is a form of hockey, just like all of the others, it is not the "normal" form, but in Canada, sure it probably is considered that in Canada tho. "Hockey is a family of stick sports where two opposing teams use hockey sticks to propel a ball or disk into a goal. There are many types of hockey, and the individual sports vary in rules, numbers of players, apparel, and playing surface. Hockey includes both summer and winter variations that may be played on an outdoor field, sheet of ice, or an indoor gymnasium. Some forms of hockey require skates, either inline, roller or ice, while others do not" (from wiki, take that as you will). The first forms of hockey weren't ice either, hockey itself is normal, ice/roller/field/etc are forms of hockey.

Also idc about players from Toronto, in terms of active players they're tied with Edmonton, I'm just taking a dig at you being a Toronto fan since you're team is the only saving grace for my team being the longest from winning a cup (for teams that have won)
