I had an amazing opportunity to visit Moganshan 莫干山 over the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival 中春节.

I know the title sounds strange, and you almost never hear the words ‘hockey’ and ‘China’ in the same sentence, so what more reason do I need to blog about “hockey in China?” When I first came to China back in 2007, I stayed for about a year and half, and being from Minnesota, I . . . → Read More: Ice Hockey in…….China???? 
So I’ve never done a book review before, but this one was just too good to pass up.
