My English son-in-law is the biggest hockey ("ice hockey") fan I know. His first visit to Canada was with a hockey team which played in a tournament in the Toronto area. (His second was to get married to my daughter, but that's another story.) He played semi-pro in Wales (farm team of the Cardiff Devils, now defunct, I understand). Unfortunately the former Bournemouth Sharks franchise is defunct as well, so they don't get live games where they live.He gets one game on TV, in the middle of the night (so he has to tape it and watch it the next evening), and it's from the Eastern U.S., so he doesn't get the Calgary Flames very often. (They expect to emigrate to Canada when they can afford it, and likely will live in Calgary, so he's practising to be a Flames supporter.)

I don't know why you need to know all that...
