It will be

deal, you might say, in a venue
that holds only 1000 seats.
But until
two years ago, to watch the
Melbourne Ice battle Newcastle,
Sydney and Adelaide teams for
the national title, you would
have been travelling to a grungy

Australia Seals Final Spot with
8-2 Defeat of the Ice Blacks at

Games
Australia have
ensured they will play in Sunday's
Final at the 2011 New Zealand Winter
Games after their second of two
round robin victories, a 8-2 defeat
of New Zealand's "Ice Blacks".
Australia had
outscored New Zealand 7-1 in the
first two periods, but an increased
level of physicality and effort
for the Ice Blacks kept the final
period fairly even, a good sign
with New Zealand likely to defeat
the Chinese Saturday night in the
