Massive Ice hockey fan here hence my name.

Calgary Flames are my team, love the coverage on Setanta and play NHL07 all the time.

Shame we are into the dark months were very little happens until we get to September, i hate the summer

Sorry, wrong forum. Hockey (*) is not a sport, it's a religion so I don't think this is appropriate on the sport forum.

Note:
* Do not confuse, there is:
1- Hockey: this is played on ice, with skates and is a full contact sport
2- Hockey on grass: this is played on grass by fit girls in short skirt and as such as a certain entertainment value but it not real "hockey.

I'll take the opportunity to mentioned how depressed I am of not any Stanley cup having been won by my favourite team since '93. Arrrghhh! The seven year itch has long been broken.

I've been over to Gothenburg a few times and watched the Forlunda Indians play and must say thoroughly enjoyed it. Even try and organise my trips around a home game now.
Great atmosphere and very entertaining. Can't understand why it's not bigger over here.

Stick me on the list of hockey fans.

NHL wise it's the Vancouver Canucks all the way! We'll get the cup sometime in the next few years!

In the UK it was the Ayr Scottish Eagles until Barr decided to move them to Braehead and then the team collapsed... not as though we didn't see that coming :S

NHL - It's going to be another tough year in the NW division, shame your Nucks didn't make any significant changes and only have one line

UK - I remeber coming up to Ayr when they were the raiders and my home team were the peterborough Pirates, they were some class matches, no love lost back in those days

Didn't need to make many changes though, I reckon we've easily got one of the top defensive squads, the best goal tender and with a few new forwards we will be fine :D

Am off to the games in the 02 in September. Gonna be good.
