Something to do During the Hockey Lockout

If you are one if the eight Americans including me that know that NHL hockey is locked out due to a labor impasse, take heart in the Denver Post's coverage of their hometown team, the Avalanche. They have set up a "Video Hockey League" where kids between the ages of 8 and 14 contest the Avs' games on an XBox video game system. The Avs are struggling at 2-3, but did get healthy here in Columbus, winning 7-3 led by a John-Michael Liles hat-trick. There are classic post-game interviews and everything. 9-year old coach David Cook said "my team needed to pass better and score moer goals." How fun is this!
