I am excited for a lot of the these events. World Hockey Summit in Toronto, training camps. Might go to the Blackhawks training camp. Preseason games are cheap, if I can go to one. October 7th.. Yay. Premiere games are pretty cool. Defiantly will make that a big deal here at SportsTwo. The World Juniors will be awesome, I hope Its on ESPN3. Winter Classic is always a must watch for me. You forgot the Heritage Classic. Thats in February. I will make both classics big for SportsTwo as well. All-Star Game, awesome! I think the skills contest is the day before the actual game. April 13th, everyone hopes there team is still playing.
