yes i was wondering the same thing, but i was reluctant to post because i thought someone on this website would run this thread of topic with comments such as "hockey sucks" or delete the thread entirely.

i tryed googling the answer but it didnt help, so if anyone can chip in with an intelligent responce, please do.

perhaps when they first thought of the name that was the correct way to word it. just a guess.

It's because of the Metric system.

I think he was making a funny....and you missed it.

I honestly don't have a clue why it's spelled that way. I never actually paid much attention to it, to be honest.

the correct answer: the plural is based off the context of the singular. a group, representing individual objects working as one, not jsut a group of that object.
it is from older,more traditional manners of writing and speaking
