Super Special Hockey Update from Edinburgh!

Well, as you all know there’s no NHL hockey, yet.  So, while I’ve been to a couple Chicago Wolves games, I haven’t been able to go to a top level game in ages.

That all changed.

New Vlog post

Have you ever wondered what I look like?

Ever wondered just why I started watching and loving hockey in the first place?

Do you have some time on your hands you want to use watching something on Youtube that ISN'T a cat video?

Well have I got something for you!

So it has come to this

Unfortunately, with the ongoing labor dispute officially starting a lockout, as of this past Saturday, I will not be able to finish my 30 arenas in the 30 months I had intended.

With the canceling of all the preseason games as of yesterday (Thursday the 27th), along with the lack of negotiations, I haven't been able to make any plans for travel to any of these cities.

In concert with this is the fact that in December, I will be going to the UK (don't worry, I'll see hockey there too, and blog it), and need to save up to have money on the trip. Going along with the post I made last summer about my hidden passion for soccer (football to everyone outside North America), I plan on going to a couple footy (I think that's British slang?) games in the motherland.

But never fret! I will still have hockey in Chicago to go to!  Not only can I go to Wolves games (I bought a flex pack over the summer), but the Steel (junior hockey) are close by as well.  I could even go to Rockford or Milwaukee if I want to.

I'll certainly try to keep updating the blog as regularly as possible, and if the lockout ends without sacrificing the whole season I definitely want to go to a few cities this year.

Swimming in the Shark Tank

For the next (and, to date, last) stop on my hockeysee, I’ve entered the Shark Tank in San Jose to see the Sharks play the Bruins.  Which would be an awesome fight, sharks versus bears.

Into the Pond

The next destination on my hockeysee took me to the former Pond of Anaheim (now the Honda center, because they don’t like cool things I guess), where the (formerly Mighty) Ducks play hockey against the Predators from Nashville.

Crowning the Kings

The next installment of the hockeysee brings me to Los Angeles, the city of angels.  To see the Kings, who (of course) won the Cup the year I went.  Because I’m that good.

Welcome to SMASHVILLE!

For the (incredibly late) next entry on my hockeysee, I ventured to Nashville, home of the Predators, country music, and incredibly bad puns.
