In the UK they used to show the NHL on one of the free channels live in the early hours like once a week and my friend and I used to video tape it then meet up and watch the game the next day. I started really enjoy watching one player some guy called Brodeur I started following the team he played for a little bit more. My rents took me to a hockey game in Cardiff who were also coincidently the Devils my local city to watch a game for my birthday and here I am year's later running a UK hockey website and a die hard fan of New Jersey Devils and a season ticket holder at Cardiff.
