I guess in Europe it isnt so big, I do know Belfast have an ice hockey team though.

in some european countries icehockey's very big. like sweden/finland/russia/czech republic/slovakia..
i guess one of the reasons the sport isnt as big elsewhere is cause the best teams are so ahead of the rest its not even funny.

Thats true, I guess you really need ice and snow to at least make it popular lol.

Well we do have our own league.

and norway is actually a hockey nation, just not a big one.

When I was in Prague back in April I saw Canada play France.. that was quite a boring game. Let's see who can guess who won..

I'm not so much into watching hockey, but I love playing it.

I was very big ice hockey (NHL) fan in the nineties. I still watch it sometimes but not much. I don't really like whats been happening over the past few years. Money money money and too much unnecessary violence.

Anyway.. I think Canada will win WCH2004. Always been big fan of theirs. Finland is in top 4 too but for some reason I have never liked them in icehockey.
