That's 'cause the author is Canadian. She probably has actually been to a hockey game or two.

The hockey content is nice, but For Better or For Worse is rarely actually funny. If you want a comic that drops hockey in every now and then (college hockey, even - the main character has been drawn wearing a UMass hockey jersey), AND is amusing, I recommend Get Fuzzy.

Peanuts often had Snoopy and Woodstock on the ice. Doonesbury once featured a hockey sequence in "Just a French Major from the Bronx."

I liked Get Fuzzy better the first time around when it was called Bloom County.

FBOFW is actually like a soap opera, with some good storylines that do a good job looking at family life. It is one of my favorites along with "Get Fuzzy", especially when Satchel zings one past Bucky.
This one from 9/10/2005 (with hockey content) is one of my favorite "Get Fuzzy" strips.
