- 05/03/15, 02:14 #22Baseball is a minor sport in Canada. You have a lot of fields to play with friends but the only MLB team is based in Toronto. Hockey is clearly the sport number one in town, and then soccer (Vancouver Whitecaps), then football. Basketball and baseball are not so popular.
This weekend there is the Davis Cup first round between Canada and Japan in Vancouver.
And in July the women's world cup of soccer will end in Vancouver with the final.

- 05/03/15, 08:34 #24Hi guys how are you ? I sarted to work at 6am. I have no time for read your post right now but i noticed you talk about sports. I was basketball player during 12-13 years. I stopped cause my scheduled is painful. I practice bowling sometimes, i like this sport, he's very difficult and requieres very goods skills. I was really atletic before, I ran and ran and ran again, by accumulating kilometers day after day. One day I ran 19 kilometers it's not world record but it was a good performance. But after I did't walk during 3 days.
Now i'm a big idler and big "patapouf"
I'll come back later for tell the rest of my life.
C U and have fun !
- 05/03/15, 10:26 #25Heyyy what a good idea right there :3
The funny thing when we speak english is that we're more talkative and more open to talk about ourselves.
I write a lot in english but i need moar speaking. When i was in the US last year i sputtered pretty much in some spontaneous discussions. But the last day in Montreal at the airport i talked for about 25 minutes with the lady who drove the courtesy vehicle. No sputter, just a fluent conversation, as i was talking in French. I was pretty happy of the easiness.
So you guys talking about sports :3 Baseball is a slow sport, so much that you can sleep on it lol And the atmosphere in a baseball stadium is very calm though.
I wish i could see an american football game, that seems wayyyyy better!
- 05/03/15, 12:47 #26C'mon ! Kiddin' me or what ?
Baseball is a quiet game. Agreed. It's about strategy. But it ain't a easy game.
My host dad used to say that american football was for "pussies". 'Cause it ain't like Rugby ! They have protections and all that useless stuff. In a way, I agree with him.
Nevertheless, it's still a interesting sport game. Better than soccer, for sure ! (Sorry Yoshi45)
- 05/03/15, 13:01 #27I like watching sports but I prefer watching Hockey, and I love practice ice skating.
In February 2014, I watched an NBA game at Madison Square Garden (offered by my family for my birthday) is really impressive, I didn't konw where to look between the game and the public. lol
- 05/03/15, 13:05 #28I agree but the players don't often hit the ball at the first throw, so you're waiting for something to happen with that big silence in the arena.
But i observed that a lot of kids play baseball with their dad in parks in Montreal. Even teens and adults who play at the week-end or at the end of the day after work or school. There is a good atmosphere, very familial vibes
Geez how huge! I wish i could watch NBA game too and maybe hockey but i know the tickets are expensive

I love sooooo much my family
It was fantastic ! The Madison Square Garden is magic ! I think that this gift was the best of all.
At home ( Dammarie les Lys dans le 77) we have a small hockey team " Les Caribous",
they are D4, I could see their match for free, and I really love it !
I hope to watch a game in Canada, I think it's extraordinary,
even if the tickets are expensive, they eat pasta for 1 month. lol
- 05/03/15, 13:46 #30I don't like very much hockey . Maybe one day i shall go to see a F1 Globe PVT to visit F1 teams and approach the cars. And MMA fight. This martial art is really mad !! But both are f*** expensive.
I wrote F1 Grand Prix ... Not F1 Globe PVT
I don't like very much hockey, soccer either... for mercy's sake don't kill me !!Dernière modification par ouzmotozolobombey ; 05/03/15 à 13:54.

- 05/03/15, 14:22 #34Hello everyone!
Practicing Bobshleiging seems to be really cool! Do you think that it actually exist in Canada?
I think that's what we're all wondering... This month I hope! Tomorrow would be perfect ah ah Only in my dreams I know...
PS: Nice idea you had Katell to create a talk in English! It's a nice way to practice and improve it while we're waiting for the WHV - and getting stressed
