IS the Hockey World Cup actually going ahead?  I've heard it talked about, but nothing ever official.
Posts here are my own private opinions.  I do not speak for my employer.

It's important to people who don't have the NHL.
:Embarrass:

I will fight to make The Oslo Monastery Burners a reality Norgy.

We already have anglicised the team names of some clubs:
Stavanger Oilers
Storhamar Dragons

My hometown's team's in the third tier and basically sucks, despite having one of the best arenas in Norway. 5000 seats inside solid rock. It's a bloody travesty.

Oslo has Vålerenga, which are good. Strangely enough, both Bergen and Trondheim really struggle to have anything above decent hockey teams. Hockey is mostly limited to eastern/central Norway, with the counties bordering on Sweden having decent to good sides.

Well that sounds awesome.  We should make those guys a NHL team.

Vålerenga

This wouldn't happen to mean village sackers would it?

It's a fricking huge man-made cave, basically. Yes, that's solid, polished rock on the sides.

No, Valmy, Vålerenga basically means something like this or that meadow.

Let's just say the arena is better than the team.

The Meadows?  I guess this is a reference to a part of Oslo they play in or something.

It was built for the 1994 Winter Olympics. The US played Slovakia there. I was there, and Satan scored.  :lol:  :sleep:

Oslo's a fairly old city,  and there used to be meadows where the lifestock grazed. 

The council basically finances the running of the place, with clubs paying to train and play there. It has hosted football, handball and whatnot really. Playing footie there was by no means a good experience, as I remember it. The pitch was hard, and with five-a-side, there was almost no space play in. Lost all our matches, I think.

The arena is used as a concert venue. The acoustics are good.

Did you stand up and scream 'Hail Satan' when he scored like I always do at home?

I always included Satan in a created team in the NHL video games. Who needs defense?
