There are somewhat impressive Chinese hockey teams all through Dongbei. @MagicChan: Despite expansion teams in southern US states, hockey is always going to be a “northerner” thing.

I'll be playing tomorrow at Zhi Wu Yuan (off Wuwu Lu) with a few friends from Dalian. The ice ain't great, but it's hockey. sopcast has always been spotty for me, but really now - watching hockey is great but playing it is better.

Mandarin? Wait a minute... unless hockey world gets their own version of Yao Ming for their sports, its hard to imagine chinese people going to the skating ring and start hitting the puck. Hockey?

Some feeds require you to download VLC media player too which is kind of annoying, but most work without it. It is unusual watching with coffee and donut instead of beer and wings but once you see a good solid check or wrister from the half boards you forget about the sun coming up.

Will get the Canadian boyfriend on to it- his love of hockey over my ambivalence for it (no offense intended, I'm just a typical Aussie) will probably give him more motivation to wait for it.

I couldn't get on the sopcast.org site - get an immediate server reset error (usually a good sign it's being blocked). Will try with torrent later. FYI - HTML works in comments. So, for the ease of readability: - <a href="http://www.sopcast.org" rel="nofollow">sopcast.org</a> - <a href="http://myp2p.eu/competition.php?competitionid=&part=sports&discipline=icehockey" rel="nofollow">Forum for who's streaming what hockey games</a> Good find man. Hope I can get it working. It'll be a bit weird drinking coffee and watching the game, but so be it. :-) @Zach: That seems like an awesome solution.
