Ice hockey played south of Miami

As James Mirtle rigthly points out, last night's New York Rangers vs Florida Panthers affair was a very first professional hockey game (NHL style) played south of Miami, FL. While the score in this pre-season game was probably secondary to having fun for the three thousand plus spectators, it's noticeable how many fans came prepared to watch ice-hockey in the tropics:

There were several Mark Messier and Mike Richter jerseys in the crowd, along with those of the Islanders, Devils and several other NHL teams. The crowd was clearly pro- Rangers, applauding every board-rattling check.

What's next? How about a pre-season game in Poland? I say Kings vs Maple Leafs might do ;).
