The NY Times hockey blog says this “may be seven of the most amazing minutes of hockey footage you’ve ever seen.”
It was recorded last Friday night in Martin, Slovakia, when perennial minnows MHC Martin beat HC Kosice in the Slovakian Extraliga and reached second place at the start of the two-week December break. After the game highlights, watch the unbelievable send-off the 4,000 fans at the Martin Winter Stadium give their players, and how much fun the players have giving back the love.
This really is pretty cool.

Such passion. Funny the Slovaks never show such emotion when they reach the NHL.
