Incidentally - and without looking it up - do you, or anybody else, know which famous goalkeeper is, whenever he is free, playing in goal for the Flames reserve team, who play in the English League (South)?  I think this has the makings of a good pub quiz question!

I don't stand a chance of knowing that!

Sorry, GJ, I am being a bit of a tease.  the answer is actually Petr Cech, returning to another childhood sporting passion.

That’s properly amazing. I love that.

I fancy going to see a Canadian team at home in the NHL in the future.

I’m not a massive fan and I know Leafs/Canadiens ‘derby’ games will be hard to get tickets for.

What chance would I have with the other teams in Canada?

Does anybody know?

I've been to a European Cup semi-final in Finland. Also seen some games at Coventry and Nottingham. All very enjoyable, but I think for people who watch RL (or even soccer), it seems quite unstructured.

Viaplay Extra showing some free view live NHL matches.

It’s probably been happening for a while and I’ve not noticed.

I have a loose affiliation towards the Boston Bruins having done a stadium tour there back in the 1990s.

Arizona at Boston on at the moment.
