Yeah - but you WOULD look at Channel 5 IF it had hockey, wouldn't you?! Two bits of pessismism on this rumour (sorry!). Downbeat Fact One: Rugby Union actually PAYS C5 for its coverage at the moment. Downbeat Fact Two: TV Reception is very bad in some bits of Sheffield which is where C5 might expect a good hockey audience. Still if Sky and C5 do start fighting over the sport that's a VERY good sign!
