@benkindling well it's not super popular in every country, but there is plenty of teams to choose from in all the different leagues, so yeah, that's definitely great! the fan experience is one of my favourite things, so i think that is a major benefit, even if thr nhl hours are a bit crazy
@benkindling and overall fan experience, maybe the level is not as high (though depends on the league) but champions hockey league for each country's winners is great fun!! i think that as long as the other aspects of moving aren't a problem (language, climate, adjusting) it's pretty worth it
@benkindling can't really speak about living in france, but i think hockey there is fine, i mean poland lost to france during the worlds last year hah and this week one of the polish teams plays in france in continental cup. i'd say overall hockey in europe is great in terms of game hours +
