Ice Hockey Down Under

Post Thu May 20, 2010 6:15 pm

Hey Guys,

If your looking for a hockey fix in Australia check out the Australian Ice Hockey League which has just got underway. If you live in Sydney then check out the Sydney Ice Dogs. The league is a pretty decent standard with each team allowed to play four imports who are predominantly Canadian who have played anywhere from ECHL, NCAA to pro european leagues. The league also features a few ex-pat canadian's with Aussies who have usuallyed played Junior B (and some Junior A) in Canada.

If you have played professionally and currently in Australia you may want to check it out if you are seeking to play at good level whilst in Australia.

Does anyone have an idea of where I can catch The NHL finals on TV in Brisbane?

There haven't been any Aussies (or Kiwi's for that matter) who have played in the NHL but maybe someday .. Ice hockey is great but roller hockey is a good alternative if you can't get on the ice.

Almost every major team in Australia has an ice hockey team. Good fun and introducing the sport to Aussies is always good. They are just wide eyed when they see it live due to the speed of it and how rough a game it is. Of course, the cold is a refresher for them as well! LOL
Enjoying the heck out of this country!

Hello,

I am relocating from Calgary to Brisbane at the end of the Canadian summer and I was hoping to find a men's rec. hockey team to play on. Does anyone know any teams that are looking for players and when the season starts and ends?

Thanks
