I never, ever watch the NHL, but I'm pleased to see that Slovakia are 3-1 up against the US in the World Junior quarter finals.

I very seldom watch NHL and certainly would not pay to attend an NHL game.

My hockey of choice is the Juniors, Calgary Hitmen number one ranked team in Canada at the moment.

Try a Hitmen game sometime, well worth the money.

Yep! At the soccer end rather than the baseball end.

Soccer, schmocker! The less of a world power Britain becomes at soccer the more it hangs onto the name football!
