Yesterday i was tripping around looking for games to watch , obviously i caught some of the Lev Praha game . But i was wondering ... how awesome would it be if there was a channel dedicated to international hockey ? Obviously all games wouldn't be live and there could be news segments for each of the major league over the day to fill the schedule . I for one would subscribe to it !
It would be good for the game to have something like this as most of the people i know here in Canada have no clue what EBEL is or if the top league in Sweden is SEL or SHL . Something like this would help people reach out globally to watch and cheer on new clubs in countries that some of us might never have the opportunity to visit . Hopefully someone with tons and tons of cash is reading this thinking it would be a great idea .
Obviously i would want to see all levels of IIHF competition shown on this channel too . Recently i have been streaming games like Australia vs. Israel only to have a picture that i couldn't enlarge with absolutely no commentary , at least there was a feed for that . There are lower level championships like the Challenge Cup of Asia that i would love to see and the only way i think that will ever happen is if the host country puts the time into airing it or if there was an IIHF channel :) yeah i know what a great idea eh ?
Who knows this might already be in the works ... i couldn't promise that everyone would be so gung-ho to rush home to watch an Augsburg Panthers game but it might be a start to introduce hockey as a global sport . The rest of the world knows about the NHL , believe it or not . Yeah i know some people that can't believe people in Kenya know what a puck looks like .... case in point that stupid Molson Canadian commercial where they give a bunch of Indonesians hockey sticks .... i am pretty sure they have hockey there , yeah i am positive .... I've played there ! This is something i would love to see changed , i would love it someday if everyone was more knowledgeable of the other great hockey leagues and teams around the world .
Lets see if someone out there with the right connections reads this ....
