Any Hockey fans in Bali know of any places where I could catch a game?
I was thinking that maybe Brian at "Nuris" may be able to show it??
Thanks, Doug

This is a rough venture, my friend. Essentially, NHL hockey does not exist in Indonesia. There is very little possibility of ever seeing it on any television station available over there. Especially now that ESPN does not have the NHL contract, they lost the bid to Versus, a station which may not ever be shown in Indonesia. The best hope to see NHL hockey is via the internet, if you could find a connection fast enough, and would be willing to pay the fee for NHL Center Ice back home. Its complicated, but possible. But what a bummer to have to watch games in an internet cafe! An expensive and rough venture. I have felt the burn myself being a hockey and Bali lover. Hopefully one day the world will be a bit more integrated and the NHL will have its bit of sunshine in Indonesia. I am sure the people would enjoy it if it was just available to them. Well, good luck.
