Ice Hockey | Player arrested for manslaughter following death of Adam Johnson (P18)

My grandfather was drafted to the Chicago Blackhawks when he was 18 back during the original 6. (when there were only 6 professional teams) only played a couple of games but is still pretty cool. (canadian) he still goes to the reunions and knows all the big names

Always loved Chris Chelios, a proper hard hitter.
 
I used to regularly watch the Altrincham Aces back in the day. I even had a go with their Pee Wee team for a while but couldn't really be arsed turning up every week so they fucked me off. Was a good laugh though.

I think it's a top sport to watch live but doesn't really come across that well on television.

From what I've read the rise in popularity of basketball has left the NHL struggling a bit apart from in Canada but I don't really know fuck all about that.
 
I watch the Extraliga here in the Czech republic - meaning I go to the games

My local team Kladno are in 5th place - The great Jaromir Jagr was playing for them until Thursday when he went off to play with the Dallas Stars

Plzen are currently the leaders

Co-incidentally Plzen are also currently leading the football Gambrinus liga too

Have been a Canucks fan since about 4-5 years ago now, been to around a dozen or so games in visits and holidays to Vancouver.
I've been gutted since ESPN lost the contract to show NHL in the UK, now that I have a young daughter I can't go to the real games either, so I now don't have any outlet.

Same here with ESPN but you can watch every single game the NHL has to offer on the NHL game centre online. It's 12.99 a month but you get every single game that's being played. That's how I watch it
 
Watched the Kings a few times from 90 to 92, seen the great Gretzky with the line inc Sandstrom and Robataille, Mcsorley was the meathead and Rhudy in the net, great times and a simply fantatic game. Go kings and ahem to the Boston-(sh)ites.....CCCHHHAMPIONEEEEES CCCHHHAAMMMPIONEEES OLAY OLAY OLAY;).<br /><br />-- Sun Jan 13, 2013 10:23 am --<br /><br />

Craig Kielty aka the Monster.
 
Used to go and see Manchester Storm a fair bit. Still maintain it's one of the best team based spectator sports you can go and watch. Brilliant day out.
 
Been to watch blackburn hawks a few times, my mate plays for them.
Quite highly regarded (by the fans at least) and has the wirst nickname of any sportsman i have heard. " the special boy". He used to play for manchester storm/pheonix a few years ago as well.
Its a good laugh, especially getting on the ice after them and making a tit of yourself.
 
I remember a storm game where a slapshot got deflected over the boards and whacked some poor fella in the face. Looked like he had glasses on as well. 2 paramedics were there, and then the announcement to "please keep your eye on the puck at all times" drew plenty of groans.

Yeah Extraliga is pretty good. I watch the Schweizer NLA, following my local team, ZSC Lions.

Until last week we had Dustin Brown (captain of the LA Kings who currently hold the Stanley Cup) but he's gone back to the states now the lockout's over.

Don't really watch Swiss football though, it's pretty shit.
 
Phoenix won the playoff cup this year beating the league champions Guildford flames 5-2 in the final. Just thought you should all know that amazing fact!
 
Toronto Maple Leafs just qualified for the Stanley cup playoffs for the first time in about ten years. They haven't won the cup since 1967, and they are the NHLs most valuable franchise. Average ticket prices for the upcoming playoff games.......$750.00. Way to reward your fans loyal support. Fucking jokers.
