Yes, but the other great tradition of professional hockey--throwing yourself to the ice and flopping around like a fish in an attempt to draw a penalty--is.

When it comes to diving and hamming it up to draw a penalty call, no sport takes a second place to soccer.

I'm thinking the Italian national team in particular.

Maybe not first but basketball is great for that. There is a hell of a lot of finesse in drawing a foul.
