This afternoon we had our version of the "Winter Classic". It was a huge success. VSV beat KAC with a final score of 3 -1 in front of a crowd of 30.500 (!!!) in the soccer stadium in Klagenfurt. "Normal" hockey games in Austria very rarely draw more than 5.000.

Did you attend it or watch it on tv? I wish I would have known about it. Maybe I could have streamed it. Nothing beats tens of thousands of hockey fans in one place. And pics! yes! Do you have any?

Unfortunately I didn't attend it and I wasn't able to watch it on TV either but I will post a few pictures soon.

I wasn't able to be there, but I heard the atmosphere was awesome. Unfortunately the wrong team won :)

Yeah, very cool. But the whored out uniforms are annoying.

Yeah, it looks awful and the number of ads on the uniforms are ridiculous, but otherwise professional hockey wouldn't be possible in Austria...I really hate ads on national team jerseys, that's why I don't own one.

These shoulder ads are just baehh...and don't get me started about the Skoda ad

its a college hockey game, PK. college hockey is huge here. currently, the original cold war hold the record for most people at a hockey game.. michigan state university vs university of michigan.

i think itll be on national tv, at least our regional tv.

I know its college, I was making a joke about the wings. Anyways, I hope the NHL network picks it up here in canada bacuase I know for a fact it won't be nationally televised in Canada.
