Y'know, I thought you were serious at first. I read an article in
this morning's Berner Zeitung criticizing (mocking, to tell the truth)
the US media for ignoring the World Championships. The German text is
on the web at
http://extra.bzonline.ch/article.cfm?id=110325&ressort=SPORT
("Ami" is a derogatory German word for American.) If there's
interest, I can post a translation, along with the letter to the
editor I wrote while waiting for a doctor's appointment this morning.
(The letter mentions college hockey, BTW.)

Those can be found at

I actually use them to follow the early afternoon games when I'm at
work (rather than playing hookey to watch them on Eurosport or Swiss
TV).
Just to make everyone jealous: I had a choice of five audio feeds for
Switzerland-Sweden: English (delivered by an American and a Canadian)
and German on Eurosport, plus French, Italian and German (play-by-play
in Hochdeutsch, color analysis in dialect) on the three Swiss
networks. Guess it's payback for not seeing any college games on TV
the last two years.
