I'm quite looking forward to the Winter Olympics, particularly the hockey tournaments.
Fun fact- this will be the first Olympics to play ice hockey on NHL-sized ice as opposed to the larger Olympic ice. This is being done to both save money and increase revenues by using a larger, existing venue as opposed to spending money on a smaller, temporary one. Should make for an exciting game this time around.
And the Olympics this year is part of the reason that the Clarkson women's hockey team has been so darned good this year (currently ranked third in the nation and sit in first place in the ECAC standings)...many of the traditional NCAA women's hockey powerhouses are without some of their best players (and we lost none), enabling us to cruise near the top of the polls.
...or maybe we're just that damn good.
Either way, looking forward to it!
