Desperate for sport

What does a Canadian ex-pat desperate for hockey do? In a country gripped by footy fever it's a difficult question. Obviously the Christmas visit back home didn't do the trick, with professional hockey players on strike. The only answer of course is to take an Austrian friend up on a proposed birthday present: to visit his hometown of Innsbruck and take in a couple of IIHF World Championship games. Then throw in a round or three of golf for a truly great celebration. Happy birthday, Johnny!
