Ah, a reason to dust off the TV and bring in an extra crate of beer. The 2007-2008 NHL season starts at the end of this month, with the Anaheim Mighty Ducks and Los Angeles Kings squaring off against each other. But as you know I’m a Leafs fan, so why would i care about these two teams. Well the NHL i believe are trying to make the sport more popular (market) in Europe. So the season and the very first two games will be held right here in London at the o2 Arena. Awe-some.
This was apparently announced awhile back but i never heard anything about it, not in the news or on regular game broadcasts on NASN (Setanta Sports). I only just managed to get tickets for both days by selling my soul to the online auction sites. If anyone else is attending let me know, I’m sure i will be up for some drinks before and after the game. Should anyone happen to know someone that works at the o2 Arena and fancies getting me into the team rooms, I’d be a rather happy bunny :).
note to self: must find a pub that shows hockey game.
