The Real Hockeytown

from Mark Kiszla of the Denver Post,

Hockey. Made in America. Nobody does it better than Denver.

We are the real Hockeytown, USA. I defy anyone to tell us we’re wrong.

The best hockey in the country is played along a six-mile stretch of road between the barns the Colorado Avalanche and DU Pioneers call home, in rinks where the vibe, like the lamp, is constantly lit....

Deal with it, Detroit. You’ve forfeited any legit claim to being called Hockeytown, USA.

OK, I can hear the bellyaching in the Midwest from 1,200 miles away.
