There was a story in the news a few weeks back about the "cherr squad" that came down from the North during the Asian games.
Apparently 20of them landd themselves in jail for mouthing off baout how nice the South is now.
Silly Northies, treats are for Eloi.  |

Where are the 1976 Philadelphia Flyers when we need them? Those commie bastards could use a damned good whacking. If you can't beat 'em, you beat 'em. Better yet just scare their commie butts off the ice, then tell 'em they won't get paid until they finish the game. They'll come back on the ice with their tails between their legs.
Ah, the good old days. Anyone remember them?  |

| As a hoser living in Chuncheon, I might have to check this out. God knows there's no hockey on TV in these parts, and the Canadian team sucked in the Olympics. Watching two Korean teams go at it, from different sides of the ideological frontier, could amount to either a decent game played by worthy opponents, or, a terrible exhibition of poorly-developed ice-skills, similar to the Jamaican bobsled team. In any case, I hope they bring along their cheerleaders. |

You know there is a professional team that plays in Chuncheon all the time, right? They have couple of Americans on the team. However, they are probably the worst team in the league after the one Chinese team. |

| After what happened to those cheerleaders, I think I would be hesitant to come to the South. Even if those guys didn't say a word, anyone with a grudge could claim they had been running their mouths off, and they'd be up a creek. |

North-East of Seoul (maybe 1.5 or 2 hours by bus?) in Gangwon-Do.
Does anyone know what time tomorrow's game starts? How far is the arena from the bus terminal? |

| It's on TV right now on KBS SKY. I am pretty sure it's the game anyways, just getting underway, and they are flying that Korean olympic flag. |

| Actually, I don't know what is going on. The team's are �ϳ� and �츮 and it is the 3rd period and it is terrible hockey. But they are wearing jerseys with a unified Korea on them. One team is winning 5-0 and nobody had matching equipment, so I don't know what is going on. But, I am pretty sure a good team of 14-15 year olds from Canada would pound either of these teams by at least 10 goals |

| Okay, so the big game is tomorrow. Kangwon Land vs. �������� (or something like that). Thank god, because that game just on TV was pathetic. I guess just kind of like an opening game before the big game. 4PM tomorrow on TV. |

CHUNCHEON, South Korea – South Korea and North Korea will meet in a series of historic ice hockey exhibition games on March 2 – 5 at the Chuncheon Euiam Ice Rink. The event marks the first winter sports exchange between the two countries since the Korean peninsula was divided more than 50 years ago.
"This is great news for the world, for sports and for the game of ice hockey as a unifying agent", said IIHF President and IOC Member René Fasel. "As IIHF President I am happy and proud the countries have chosen hockey as a means of athletic reunification."
Athletes from the two Koreas glided across the Euiam Ice Rink Friday (March 3) as they practiced for the first ice hockey game involving the north and south since Korea was divided in 1948, when the Soviet Union occupied the north part, while the USA took control over the south.
A 37-member North Korean delegation, including 23 athletes, arrived Thursday at Chuncheon in Gangwon Province, about 80 kilometres northeast of the capital Seoul, for the two Koreas' first joint winter sports event. Players wearing the same uniform with the picture of a unified peninsula - South Koreans in blue and North Koreans in red - slammed the puck across an ice rink Friday morning as they warmed up for their first friendly game later in the day.
Friday's match was to be played between two mixed teams of South Korean and North Korean players. The mixed teams appeared under the names "Team Woori" and "Team Hana". "Woori" is Korean for "we" while "Hana" means "one".
Saturday's game will pit North and South teams against each other. The historic events will end with a farewell banquet on Saturday evening.
The games "represent that the South and the North condemn division and conflict, but promote harmony and coexistence of Gangwon Province," the regional government said in a statement. The province is the only administrative zone that is split between the Koreas.
Although the countries remain divided, exchanges between the north and south have increased since their leaders met for the first time in 2000. The active south-north co-operation in sports is part of the bidding for the 2014 Olympic Winter Games, where North Korea supports South Korean Pyeongchang's bid. |
