They won gold in 2006 in Turin but now stand in 3rd in the world going in to the 2010 Paralympics. Should be some more exciting Hockey from Vancouver! The trick is going to be finding live coverage of these games. Personally I think they should run concurrent with the Olympics! Sledge Hockey Rick ************************** ID: 978201 ·

Sledge Hockey Good Luck seeing It on TV, NBC and the other networks aren't interested in the Paralympics at all, If any were, I'd think NBC legal would tell them to go away.

Dont think NBC has much to say about it SJ. Its CTV's decision and unfortunately they have made poor decisions in my opinion. The opening ceremonies were only covered live in BC and not across Canada. In Ontario we get to watch a Saturday afternoon edited version of the Friday night ceremonies. Will probably have to watch the sports section of the nightly news to see how the games play out. Rick ************************** ID: 978227 ·

Well actually there has has been no reporting at all of the Paralympics down here, Total blackout, Oh sure there's a GE commercial, But then the Paralympics have never been on TV, Canada or not.
