Not only does Second Life address the needs of the arts community, education and the military, but the grid also supports both team sports and extreme sports.
Most of us have watched the surfers, skiers, and skateboarders in Second Life. But, have you watched a soccer game or a football game or an ice hockey game?
Chamonix City opened several sims featuring winter sports that include not only skating, sledding, etc, but also, the GOHA, Global Online Hockey Association.
With much fanfare, Chamonix City opened over several days with many events that included live music by The Follow and other live musicians, and a full sports store featuring freebies from your favorite hockey team!
I am going to make a point to put these sports events on my SL calendar. How fun to watch a fully scripted game, wear my fav team's sweatshirt and cheer on my favorite players! GOHA! Goooo team go!

The GOHA community is one of the most dedicated, friendly, and fun bunch of people I've had the pleasure of meeting in SL! I am honored to call a number of them friends - and one in particular, a very special close friend. ;)
