They supposedly changed some rules to make it more exciting...

But I don't care one way or the other. I like playing hockey an I like watching it in person, but other than that count me out.

Might be in the playoffs years to come? Where have you been?
The Predators made the playoffs the last season played.

I knew very little about hockey until moving to Nashville in late 2000. I went to my first Predators game end of the year in 2001.
It's a game you have to see in person to appreciate.

I hope to make it to several games this year.

:banghead: Since this is the only hockey thread going, does anybody out there go to any of the minor league games. (We lost our team in Asheville this year because the Gomers in charge of the Civic Center wouldn't give them a break on the rent.) Knoxville has a team in the same league called the Ice Bears. If anybody there is a minor league hockey fan, do they remember the brutal street brawls from 3 years ago between the Asheville Smioke and the Knoxville Speed when they were in the United Hockey League? Its a wonder somebody didn't get killed. They hated each other. Fights, fights, and more fights.

Here's a little bit of information for all the hockey fans on the board...

UT has a hockey team...and they are good! :D

www.icevols.com
--Founded in 1966, they are the oldest collegiate program in the south
--They are celebrating their 40th anniversary this season
--They are members of the American Collegiate Hockey Association, a group of of 300 non-varsity college hockey programs across the country.
--They compete against other SEC Schools like Florida, Georgia, Vanderbilt, Kentucky, and Vanderbilt. (Auburn used to have a team, but they folded in the 80's)
--The Ice Vols have won 7 conference championships since 1980 (more than football, haha)
--They were the 1996 National Champions!!!

If you haven't checked out a game, I recommend it. They play at the Civic Coliseum downtown, and have an occasional game at the IceArium in West Knoxville. The South Carolina series this year is the same weekend at the UT/USC football game.
