LOL, though they are funny, they are not true. England is so politicaly correct theres no chance of those signs being allowed, unfortunetly.

I would have thought that hockey would be more popular over there. It is fast and physical, any ideas as to why it has not caught on?

I agree with you it should be, unfortunetly soccer rules over here, hockey never gets a mention, saying that neither does baseball or basketball, american football gets a bit but not much.

Hockey is played at a very low level over here, theres just no money in the game here, people would much rather go and watch a boring 0-0 game of soccer, sad but true. I love american sports but i'm one of the few, my friends think i'm nuts for getting up at 3am to watch the Kings. They don't no what their missing

I've played soccer my whole life and I just started playing hockey and I can tell you that Hockey >>>> Soccer. Way more skill and finesse involved in every movement and every play.

Welcome to the madness.

It has not put us off as we love the Kings and we are returning in April for the final regular game of the season, hopefully to cheer them on into the playoffs.

Kind Regards Darren & Corey.

Sweet to have another UK based Kings fan here, we have to arrange a gathering of UK Kings fans sometime

Keep the faith going from Wales
