A co-worker pointed me to this article in Sports Illustrated today. I thought I'd reprint it in its entirety here.

"SLOVAKIA'S WOMEN'S ICE HOCKEY PUMMELS BULGARIA 82-0

BRATISLAVA, Slovakia (AP) -- With more goals than minutes in the game, Slovakia's women's ice hockey team claimed an amazing 82-0 victory over Bulgaria in Olympic qualifying.

Slovakia outshot the Bulgarians 139-0 during the 60-minute game, played in Latvia. The margin of victory is a record for a women's International Ice Hockey Federation-sanctioned event.

"We took it as training," Slovakia coach Miroslav Karafiat said after Saturday's game.

Janka Culikova led Slovakia with 10 goals, while Martina Velickova scored nine. Fourteen different players scored at least one goal.

Slovakia, which also beat Croatia, Latvia and Italy, advanced to another qualifying group with Germany, Kazakhstan and France. The winner will secure a spot at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.

Bulgaria was eliminated after scoring one goal and conceding 192 in the tournament.

The Slovakian men's team clinched its biggest ever victory against the Bulgarians 14 years ago when they won 20-0."

If you're familiar at all with hockey, you know it's similar to soccer - generally a very low scoring game, unless there's a rout. I can tell you I was on the losing end of a 9-1 game last night with my new/old co-ed team that I'm playing with again, and it was a pretty long game. I once experienced a 16-0 loss and that was agonizing. 82-0, I can't even imagine.
