    Okay lets get off the broadband plans and back on topic here. WOw why are you guys being so negative towards this? Think how much kids would actually learn and benefit from this? instead of seeing highlights of goals and fancy crap on youtube, they can actually see a game where that stuff does not happen on a regular basis. What I see is a lot of kids watch these highlights of Ovechkin and Crosby and only see the pretty goals, when in fact they don’t happen as often as they think. On top of that, it would give kids a chance to see other players and thier style of play, like a Chris Chelios or a Jerome Iginla (who by the way can change an entire game with one goal if he gets mad). Young kids in this country need to be exposed to NHL games here and not youtube highlights. Plus, the young goalies in this country would benefit greatly from it. Again, they won’t be seeing highlights, but actual game situations where they can see how a great goalie like Luongo or Brodeur plays in that situation. Then they can think to themselves “I’ve been in that situation and that would really help my play if I tried that.” I’m not doing this for my benefit, I want this to happen so the young hockey players in NZ can benefit.

    If you get a petition to sign I’ll gladly sign it.

    I’m definitely keen to see some hockey on TV even if it is only for the benefit of others – I don’t have Sky. I’ll probably still just download them coz it’s easier than getting DVDs off people, not that I bother doing that very often anyway though.

    Some of the videos I downloaded last year were pretty good quality. Better than most of the Sky digital stuff I’ve seen. I have no idea what sort of quality they’d be feeding their NHL games out at, I was just guessing they’d possibly be lower quality since it’s such an obscure sport.

    I’d still sign a petition, but sky costs a crap load so id still like to see it available more cost effectively via the internet.
