Well, I agree that being there in person is a lot better, but that it true 
with all sports. I don't know what the TV is like for hockey games down 
there, (other than fox destroying the game). But up here we have Hockey Night 
in Canada, and that has great TV coverage. Last year, there were over 40 
Canucks games (I'm from the Vancouver area) on TV. Some where on CBC and some 
were on lacal TV, and the TV is good.

That's to be expected. Hockey isn't really considered to be a major sport in 
a lot of places in the US. I don't really know a lot aout college hockey, as 
most NHL players come from Major Junior. But how is it now that you have a 
team which one Denver's first pro sports Championship.  
 
Oh sorry about that, I meant won (not one).
