Olympic Hockey Coverage

Has anyone come across a place on the island where you can watch any of the Olympic Hockey games?

It's on sporadically on the cable channels (Supersport from South Africa and DD Sport from India) but you are in the hands of the guy who decides what sports programmes he chooses to show on any particular day so it's difficult for any bars to actually advertise that they are showing it.

The other day I showed Finland v Canada in full with no customers then had a crowd watching Sweden v Russia on the Indian channel. During the first period they cut away to show the end of a curling match, then after the second period, which was shown in full, they went over to an Indian sports talk programme and that was the last we saw of the ice hockey.

So, keep your eyes peeled. It may be on somewhere. Look for a bar showing Supersports. But don't be surprised if you don't get the whole game.
