Hey there, me and my girlfriend have been getting into the NHL recently and wanted to read up on some of the essential hockey 'lore', if you will!

Since we're based in the UK we picked a team that we have a good connection with and that ended up being Vegas as we've been a few times and love it. We started supporting pre Stanley Cup, so pretty good timing! 😂

If anyone has any suggestions, that'd be amazing!

Edit: We watched the Quest For The Stanley Cup series too, which was amazing! Really enjoyed that.

Hey fellow Brit. Can't help too much with your question I'm afraid, just wanted to see if you knew about British hockey (EIHL, NIHL)? If not, it's definitely worth a go

Yes deffo, one half of my family are all Basingstoke Bison fans - who I've seen a few times now. Funnily enough one of my relatives has been selected to play for England!

Since they're not playing this season we're gonna switch teams and support Guildford Flames as they're somewhat local to us! :)
