Ever wonder what professional ice hockey teams play in New Zealand? How about Dubai? Where can you catch a pro game next time you're in Bahrain, or Spain, or mainly on the plain?

Well a dedicated French hockey fan named Sam has completed quite a project: a Google map of every professional hockey team's ice rink in the world--over a thousand of them--including each team's logo and a link to its home page.

From the SIJHL to the OHA; from the Mini-Big-Egg in Taiwan (home of the Sharks) to Boondall Iceworld (where the Brisbane Blue Tongues play); every arena that hosts a professional team is shown on this wonderful map.

Click here to see for yourself; it takes a couple minutes to load, but once it's done you can zoom in and see just where the Heerenveen Flyers or the Neumarkt-Egna Wild Goose call home.
