SHANGHAI -- Hu Hong was not a hockey fan. Then last year he went to see the Kunlun Red Star, the first Kontinental Hockey League team in China, and became interested. Then this year he went to see the Stanley Cup Final between the Nashville Predators and Pittsburgh Penguins.
He was blown away. Not only did thousands pack inside arenas in Nashville and Pittsburgh, thousands watched outside on big screens too.
China Games will be 'event within an event'
Inspired by scene at Stanley Cup Final, local organizers prepared to put on 'show' when Kings play Canucks
