Well, besides NHL, I follow my local league (LNA, Swiss Hockey League) and I also attend most of my favourite LNA team game : HC LUGANO Wink

. Our team gave the minessota wild one of our greatest defensemen Petteri Nummelin #33, who is doing a good job in NHL now. Laughing

Ah well, so any of you people follow other leagues?

I follow the OHL, not alot of you have probably heard of it, its the Ontario Hockey League. Its pretty much one step lower that the NHL here in Ontario and i know some people in it (one of which just got drafted by the NHL, i dont know what team yet but im trying to find out)

You guys are so lucky to have hockey league in your own country and to know people from it!!! I can only dream about it...We have like 4 professional and 2-3 amateur hockey teams...And I have never met a real hockey player in my entire life...The saddest thing is that I probably wont...not in this lifetime though.. Sad

I watch RSL(russian super league)!!!I really love it!!!My fave teams there are Avangard(Omsk) , Metalurg(magnitogorsk), Lada(toliati) and Traktor(cheliabinsk)...and some more...actually I have favourite players in almost every russian team... Wink

If I try to make a list of all the cuties in RSL-I will probably forget sbd but at least I will make an effort...
Kiril Koltsov & Alex Fomichev /Avangard/ , Ivan Nepriaev,Alex Kalianin,Fedor Fedorov/Lokomotiv/ , Denis Denisov ,Aleksey Morozov,Pervishin , Nobukhov/Ak Bars/ , Kolcov,Zubarev/Salavat Ulaev/ , Krikunov,Nestorov,Bikov/Himik/, Vasilyi Koshechkin /Lada/... Embarassed

...I will add the full list some other time... Razz

But my list will probably look like the full list of all russian hockey players ... Rolling Eyes

Haha yeah, it was quite a nice experience! But I think the hype of that day was to meet 10 of my favourite swiss team, HC LUGANO and have pictures with them and my brother too (12 years old and hockey fan!) Very Happy

. They're the swiss champions (7 times already, team that won most of the play-offs when they were introduced in Switzerland!)A team where Michael Nylander did a great season Shocked
