I was up at 6.45am today (yawn) and watching BBC1 and BBC News 24 was still on. Drop Dead In Amazement, they said, "Ice Hockey, and Superleague leaders Manchester Storm went down 5-4 at Bracknell Bees last night...." They were talking like ice hockey was a really regular sport on the channel - not being patronising at all. They showed some of the goals and then even the Superleague table. That was a bit of a surprise....do News 24 usually cover ice hockey?
