Thread Name: Obit: Hockey On? Off? Who cares?
Subject: RE: Obit: Hockey On? Off? Who cares?
To be fair, I'm suprised that a fight hasn't broke out with the amoutn of fights that happen on ice, I would maybe of kind of expected some off ice fights. Maybe I'm just hoping too much. :0)


I'm British and I play ice hockey and I love it to bits. Although I am missing staying up till 4am one or two nights a week to watch NHL matches, I'm very lucky in the fact that I can watch the EIHL in the UK which is the elite league, of which my heros, the Steelers play. And they rock big time.

And no, before you brits get on your high horse I aint a glory supporter. I've supported them ever since I was old enough to realise that the UK had ice hockey, and I held a season ticket for two years. We used to finish our training and then run over the road to the arena for the steelers matches.

I have to say, the fights between the steelers and manchester pheonix have been much better than any fight I've witnessed in the NHL

So we haven't got the NHL this year, so what, yeah I miss it, but maybe now other countries who play will get a little more recognission and even college and little league over in canada and the US, which would be nice.
