Uruguay + Ice Hockey = ????



Basically i know my dates , still have to book flights but there are some grey areas in between .... i am trying to book everything based on keeping everyone in my travel group together . There may be some discrepancies but nothing major . Andi is not too intrigued about travelling to and from Ushuaia to Punta Arenas by ground vehicle ( bus or car ) as it is about 10-12 hours to travel and he is looking to fly from another city in Chile whereas i feel as though it is important that we go to Ushuaia and pick some guys to join our team in Punta Arenas travel with them there and back ... since they are coming to play with us we might as well have fun on the way there and back too :) ... i can't blame the Tanzmanian Devil for not wanting this so he might go one way on his own and myself and Timo will tough it out travelling both ways .

This may loosen up some time and actually based on Andi's flights we might have time to go to Montevideo, Uruguay .... we have seen a web page for an ice rink at a mall there . And on the web page it advertises ice hockey lessons !!!! Is anyone reading this in Uruguay ???? if so can you put me in contact with whoever knows or is in charge of this ??? It would be unbelievable if we can add Uruguay to our trip since we are right there pretty much , such a short trip from Buenos Aires !!! I had asked my friends in Argentina to look it up but haven't had any success from that :(

Now i do know that there are some falsely advertised websites around the world and the picture they have of ice hockey on this particular page shows 2 guys with no equipment on , but they have sticks and skates on ... so is this real ?

Here is the link :

If anyone can help get me in touch with whoever is organizing it would be greatly appreciated ... there is always the chance i just show up there with my gear in hand LOL ... probably better to have organized a skate beforehand ... i don't wanna have another Slovenian experience ( Ljubljana ) it would be a shame to spend another day begging to get on the ice .....
