Hockey in Italy
 
I am from Canada and was hoping I might be able to catch some hockey while in Italy. Can anyone point me in the right direction? The games are being held in N italy so would that be a hot bed?

I seem to remember a local team playing at Piancavallo last year, and possibly Cortina as well. Probably only up here in the north.<BR>Sia

Hockey is not very fampus in Italy. The championship is short (with only 6 teams in the "major league", called "Serie A1") all from northern Italy. You can find moer informations (in italian only) at http://www.hockeyitaly.it/.

There's ice hockey and then there's hockey. Field hockey is played by men in Europe. Not sure about Italy, but you need to specify ice hockey, if that's what you're after.

The only kind of hockey that has any kind of championship, regular matches and teams in italy is ice hockey.
