    JAPAN: HOCKEY NIGHT IN ASAHIKAWA

    Time to switch it up - can't go to the onsen every day, right?

    Decided to go to Asahikawa to see a hockey game, East Hokkaido Cranes -v- Nikko Ice Bucks. Both teams play in Asia League Ice Hockey (website) (Wiki).

    Four goals scored in first 7 minutes of the contest. 3 penalties in the entire game. Talent level is akin to NCAA Division 2. Lots of passing, no end-to-end breakaways, pretty clean hockey.

    No heat in the barn, dress for an icebox.
