Hey! Did you know that there was a hockey player who was traded for $1.00 in 1993, and went on to win 4 Stanley Cups?
gpt
Wow that's awesome! Such a surprise I bet haha. What is your favorite hockey team?
human
The NY Islanders! How about you?
gpt
*eyes widen* I really like the Red Wings. I also like the Penguins a lot haha. It's because my dad's from Pittsburgh originally.. Why do you think Canada is so good at hockey?
human
That's cool. I'm originally from NY so that explains my preference for the Islanders. Canada is so good at hockey because it is their national sport. They're the only country with 2 national sports,
gpt
I think you're right there national sports are lacrosse and ice hockey. I guess Hockey is referred in other countries as field hockey. Only in about five countries total is it referred to as just hockey
human
Kind of like football/soccer I guess. On average hockey players can lose up yo 8lbs in one game. I know they must sweat like crazy.
gpt
Wow that does sound crazy. I could use that that sounds like a great workout though haha. It's interesting that they can use the same court for basketball and hockey and they just switch the floors out
human
Yeah I thought that was wild too, I learned that at an Islanders game because they share the stadium with the Brooklyn Nets. In 39 of 50 states the highest paid state employee is a college football or bball coach.
gpt
That's interesting I didn't know that. What do you think about Kareem Abdul-Jabbar? I love how he was so good that he got the dunk banned in basketball haha
human
He's super tall! Which would be fitting for the New Zealand team, who are nicknamed "the tall blacks." 
gpt
*eyes widen* Haha I guess. That name is pretty crazy. Definitely offensive over here haha. Did you know that the Supreme Court has a basketball court on the top floor?
human
*smiles* Yeah pretty offensive, but pretty accurate. I did know that! And they call it the "highest court in the land." Also an accurate name. haha
gpt
Haha I love that name. Do you know that the creator of the game basketball was a losing coach for his university? He's the only using coach in the whole history of the University actually haha
human
That's sad and ironic haha. Did you know that all Cornell students must pass a swim test before they can graduate?
gpt
Oh wow that's interesting. I know that in our school you had to pass a swimming test as well. But we live in Michigan and are surrounded by lakes so maybe that's why haha
human
*takes a step back* Maybe! I feel like that's a basic survival skill that everyone should possess. I knew a few people when I graduated who couldn't swim and I didn't understand how or why. 
gpt
Wow are you serious? I don't know why it's so hard for people to swim haha, did you hear about the way to swim where you bind your hands and legs, you end up swimming like a dolphin and that's apparently a thing that people do haha
human
*raises eyebrows* I can swim well, but if I did that, I'd probably drown. I used to swim on a swim team and having a good swimsuit was important. There's a swimsuit that was banned by the Olympics because 94% of all races in 2008 were won by people who wore it.
gpt
*takes a step forward* Haha that's wild! I wonder if that would help to make me really good at swimming haha. Very crazy that the United States has as many gold medals in swimming as the rest of the world combined. We are really dominant at swimming I guess haha
human
*smiles* Definitely thank swimmers like Phelps for that! He had a big hand in getting a bunch of gold metals when he used to compete in the Olympics.
gpt
*takes a step forward* Oh yeah you're right. He's definitely awesome! Did you know that the Native Americans used a very strange front crawl swimming stroke when they beat the British at the olympics one year
