Bowns is a good shout. Hopefully a few of the guys will be better known after the World Championships next year!

Most famous all time and worldwide you’d have to say Fleury, over 1,000 games and points in the NHL.

Some of the content in the article is BS, but that doesn’t really matter. People who don’t know the sport wont remember those details if they go to watch a game. The fact the sport is covered in a national weekend paper is what matters. For that, I will praise him.

Putting aside a few ‘club first’ comments that probably most owners would voice if being honest I had to chuckle at these two references; Hopefully the sport will receive more mainstream media coverage as the season progresses <iframe width="13.799999999999955" height="5.539999999999992" style="position: absolute; width: 13.8px; height: 5.54px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 12px; top: 100px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_23192484" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="13.799999999999955" height="5.539999999999992" style="position: absolute; width: 13.8px; height: 5.54px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 638px; top: 100px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_48993991" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="13.799999999999955" height="5.539999999999992" style="position: absolute; width: 13.8px; height: 5.54px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 12px; top: 321px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_35190033" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="13.799999999999955" height="5.539999999999992" style="position: absolute; width: 13.8px; height: 5.54px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 638px; top: 321px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_51599224" scrolling="no"></iframe> A British fan (fanatic) WOULD be able to explain the particulars of a powerplay. However, it,s true that 'walk up - newbees' won't be bothered about the rules. They love the contact thinking it's exciting though we see it as a general hit. Then there's the 'ball' they talk off when it's not passed.lol
