Hi, i only have good things tosay about austrian icehockey, but there is one thing im missing.
Club TVs!
Not on the cable or FTA but online. Almost all of the clubs in the norwegian league goes online the day after the match with the highlights from the match. Goals, tackles, fights and maybe some interviews.

It is not great, but it gives you a chance to look at the goals from the other matches (I know ORF show icehockey on late fridays). Also some of the teams are you using youtube, specially the non-austrian ones. Last year Capitals had some planetlinz (?) thing, but never anything from the actual matches, on postmatch interviews. But im sure some of the teams are taping their matches, i think it would be great if austrian teams also started showing highlights online from their matches. Im fully aware it takes some time to record the match and then make a highlight video, but it doesnt have to be anything fancy...the hockeyfans love anything that gives them a taste of hockey
