As the season is over and your thirst for sport needs quenching, why not have a look over on Freesports (SKY) where they are showing all of Team GB's matches in Ice Hockey World championships, free to air.

It's significant that GB are playing at the top level for the first time in over 20 years. In GB's first matches they've lost to Germany 3-1 and Canada 8-0 but the comparison is that our players could probably cobble together £30k a year earnings, they are competing against players who are on contracts in excess of $10m per year.

Its a huge gulf in level but team GB dont get a penny from any goverment or sporting body, they've got there with hard work and commitment.

They dont give up, they fight for everything and its a historic occasion. With 6 free to watch games to come, why not sit back and watch your country play at a sport you might not normally watch


 
Weird that a defeat is like a victory but that game, the keeping and scoring 3 goals have done so much to say GB are actually not a laughing stock within World Ice Hockey, its just fantastic.
