When I was in America, I really did love watching hockey. Did you watch the UGA and Gators game yesterday?

Those are club/non-varsity programs, right? I usually prefer Minnesota and Cornell hockey. My home and my school take first place in my heart any day!

I didn’t think people actually got excited over hockey.

Where I come from if you're not, there's something wrong with you.

I don’t know it’s true..because it isn’t. Never heard of that about Minnesota. I didn’t have enough experience with them to decide if something like that is even true about people from there but you don’t seem to bad yourself.

Okay fine, but when you've lived through -60 windchill we'll talk about Hell freezing over, alright? So why are you are transplant here?

What? That’s crazy! We’re not California, you know. I take offense to that but I’ll let it go just this once. I’ve heard that a lot but I guess it depends, we’re not all abrasive.

You know it's true. If not the people, then the news stations. In Minnesota, we have this philosophy called "Minnesota Nice." Let's just say when I moved to New York, I was pretty shocked by the lack of niceness. But hey, you don't seem like a terrible person, so I guess you're right, not everyone there is mean.

Yeah, I used to spend about two weeks there during Christmas time visiting my grandmother. We’re not all babyish though. We can handle a little cold. I’m Tyler.

When it comes to weather, you abso-freaking-lutely are. It gets to 30 degrees and January and you claim that Hell has frozen over! Everything else though, definitely not. New Yorkers can be….. a little abrasive sometimes.

Really? I have to admit, I’m kind of shocked. I guess it will be good Olympic prep for this year though? I am terrible at keeping up with the winter Olympics. I guess we’ll see about that.

Like I said, they are really bad. The winter Olympics are about 1,000x better than the summer ones. The USA/Canada hockey rivalry? I can't be beat. A game between the two would make even the least hockey enthused person become an instant fan. So basically, you should watch it!

Oh, really? You must miss it, being here. Have Italians ever even seen ice? Anyway, I guess you can give it a shot. I don’t have much confidence though, if I’m being honest.

Italy actually has a few hockey teams. They're really bad, but it's hockey. I absolutely miss it. I promise! In no time, you'll know and love the game!

Minnesota has some of the worst winters. I don’t even think I’ve ever felt cold like that. I don’t think it a New York winter can even compare. I’m not a hockey fan but it’s intense to play.

You've been to Minnesota?! I think I just met my new best friend! You're right though, I spent 4 years at Cornell and I would always laugh at how babyish my east coast classmates were. I'm Liz.
