Hockey coverage in Iraq

[auxlepli 17]

For hockey-loving troops the NHL coverage here in Iraq has really been pretty good.

So far AFN has shown the Versus feed of at least three games, including the first Red Wings and Blues game.

Stars and Stripes on Thursday had four full pages devoted to the NHL, and the blurb above the banner that day stated, "Penguins, Red Wings could concievably meet in the Stanley Cup finals for third consective year."

It's seems much better now than my previous deployments.

Must be nice, I never had the opportunity to live on a FOB

I lived on a FOB and we only got 1 meal a day and no internet, I lived off Pringles, basically. We pushed out 3-5 patrols a day, kicked our asses.

I think during my 7 month deployment I saw about 5 minutes of hockey :/

first: thank you guys for your service to our country...

secondly: if you have internet access see if you can get sopcast to work, its a free download, and there are a lot of websites that carry the games over it try http://www.atdhe.net/

Cool little story there.

And more importantly, thank you for your service.
