Alright, well done there, France, but enough of this footy business!
We got some exciting news for you lovely, lovely people.

The show is headed back to the Middle Kingdom and you're gonna want to check it out. Hope you're all ready for some clap bombs, filthy dangles, and a potential tilly or a two! For those of you that are feeling more confused than your first Taobao delivery phone call, we'll break this down into simpler terms.

The world's top hockey league, the NHL, is coming back to China this September for some preseason action. With them, they bring two legendary teams often found in the highlight reels.

The Boston Bruins; an Original Six team with a long history of winning cups, will be facing off against a threat of the west, the Calgary Flames, for what's sure to be a set of epic games in Shenzhen and Beijing.

Not an avid fan of hockey? Never heard of Gretzky? Perfectly fine - there's no better introduction to the coolest (cuz ice, get it?!) game on earth, than watching some of the top goal-scorers and award-winning players hit the rink.

This is your chance to see the likes of Lady Byng Memorial Trophy winner Johnny 'Hockey' Gaudreau, 2-time All-Star, NHL Foundation Player Award recipient and captain Mark Giordano lead the flames against seasoned vet, David Backes, and the 6"7 (plus skates) recipient of more trophies than most, absolute monster that is Zdeno Chara.

Look at that shiner, yo! You should see the other guy!
