Here it is, June, and the championship series for the National Basketball Association http://www.cbssports.com/nba/schedules and the National Hockey League http://www.nhl.com/ice/schedulebyweek.htm#?navid=nav-sch-main are in full swing.
Does it make you wonder, though. I think of basketball as a winter sport, although the addition of the Women's National Basketball Association, in the spring and summer, and the inclusion of basketball in the Summer Olympics negates that.
The Miami Heat are contending with the San Antonio Spurs. My team, the Boston Celtics is long gone, but I have to cheer for the Spurs, since I am a Texas resident.
But hockey in June? How do they keep the ice firm in the skating rinks? But, I know this is possible. Where I grew up in Western Massachusetts, there was an indoor ice rink. It was open 11 months of the year, closed in August, less due to the heat and more for maintenance. So the ice rinks can maintain even at this time of year. But hockey is truly a winter sport, and June is definitely not winter.
And the Chicago Blackhawks are skating against the Boston Bruins. Although I am not much of a hockey fan, I have to cheer for the Bruins.
We shall see what happens over the next few days. Go team!
