Not sure if I was clear, he dated the daughter of the voice actor who spoke the tag line "Hey Mabel, Black Label!" not Mabel herself. As to the voice actor, I'm not sure of his name but it would have been the guy active in the early 60's.

You were clear. I read it too quickly and got excited with the thought of looking up babes named Mabel.

A lot of it has to do with the size of the rink. The larger rink usually used for International Rules favors the European style. The smaller NHL rink favors the physical pingpong style of hockey.

Ditto. The rink dictates the game play, a smaller North American rink favors plays like offensive zone cycles and neutral zone traps and it generally leads to a more physical and engaging style of hockey. The large European rinks tends to favor long stretch pass plays, torpedo formations and makes cycle plays harder for the players.
