I am one, since I am from the UK. Long time LA Kings fan here.
My first memories of starting watching hockey where of when the now defunct Screensport and then later Eurosport irrc started airing hockey matches over here in the early 90's on satellite/cable tv.
I love hockey, since it's basically a more violent and high scoring of football but it's played on ice instead of a pitch.
I remember watching the old legends of the game like Mario Lemieux and Brett Hull. But what made me become a Kings was watching Gretzky.
I remember watching him playing, he made playing the game so beautiful, in the way he carved up his opposition with ease.
As for today, I mainly watch games involving West coast teams since they air around 2 am, 3 am or 3:30 GMT over here in the UK and I am an early riser. I usually wake around 4 to 5 am and try to watch the last two periods of games.
Or if they show day games during the weekends since they air around 6 or 7 pm over in the UK.
