from Michael Burgess of nzherald,

It wasn’t the NHL - but last night’s hockey spectacular between US and Canadian selections is as close as we will see in New Zealand.

Ice Hockey purists may disagree but the exhibition match delivered a quality spectacle in front of a noisy crowd of 10,000 fans in Vector Arena.

There were some brilliant goals as well as outstanding goaltending from both custodians and some collisions worthy of the sport at the highest level.
