watching hockey in Japan

[X Japan]

Anyone know about hockey on television in Japan? I would love to see
some NHL games out here. Is there a sportsbar in Kansai/Osaka that
caters to such a whim? Specifically, I'd love to see the outdoor NHL
game to be played in Edmonton in November.

I once saw Australia vs Pakistan playing in the world
championships at a sports bar but that is fairly rare. I'm
surprise you are interested, Canadia is not a big hockey country
and isn't it a bit cold in November?

Indeed. I didn't even know there were sports bars with sufficient
floor space and refrigeration equipment to host a hockey game at all,
much less a world championship.

But that was Sepponia. In Austria we have lots of refrigeration in sports bar,
got to keep the beer cold.

Unless it's changed in the past couple of years, Sports Eye/ESPN and WOWOW
both broadcast NHL games. The former only broadcast ESPN games involving
all-US match-ups (except in the playoffs) while the latter had some HNIC
broadcasts.

Hey

Sky-sports, 306, 307,308 on Sky-Perfect have the most. incidentally they
also have all the rugby, so if you get it, don't tell any of the local Kiwis
unless you want them knocking on your door every time there is a game.
