Gonna be in greater Paris on May 19th? Been dying to drag out that musty Team Algeria Khalid Abdulwahid goalie sweater?

This is fascinating stuff. I wasn't previously familiar with - or aware of - the Arab Ice Hockey Federation, but good for them, I guess.

2008 Arab Cup champions Abu Dhabi, sporting serious playoff beardage, celebrates their victory over a surprising Kuwaiti squad.

And South Florida will continue to be razzed as a poor hockey market. For shame. If the United Arab Emirates isn't "Sunbelt" me don't know what is.
