Just found this on the Invicta Dynamos' forum, thought it may be of interest to UK based hockey fans!

I'd help you guys(you guys as in you British hockey fans) by signing it, but I'm not allowed.

For what it's worth, I've signed it

I can't see this getting enough signatures; hockey is just too much of a niche in the UK

And virtually everywhere outside of Canada. Yes I am looking at you USA> WAKE UP DOWN THERE! Preaches to the choir on this site.

Best of luck on the petition..What is UK national sport??? POLO?? heh, I know I know that round ball thing where everyone dives on the field and gets magic spray to heal their broken legs. Can we borrow that for hockey?

I've signed it for what it's worth - but everyone knows the media in this country only cares about one sport

Yeah poofball............ Those guys ought to play a real sport like rugby union. A great sport where you can knock seven bells of Adam Oates out of each other on the pitch then get widdled in the bar after we no hard feelings against the guy who you gave and was given a beating by.
