PUCK "Black Friday" - there's plenty of hockey on tap

Forget Black Friday.

Today is HOCKEY FRIDAY, with 13 NHL, 13 AHL and 11 WHL games on tap (I know there are more leagues out there; these are the 3 I follow most).

So, heat up your leftover turkey, pull up a chair and stuff yourself on power plays, penalty kills, hits and shots galore! I've made it easy for you to find your favorite team by listing all of today's games below.

WHL (all times are the home teams' local times)
(Watch or listen LIVE at www.whl.ca)

Spokane Chiefs @ Portland Winterhawks - 3pm (game thread)
This is being touted as the "Daylight Classic" - and the game will be played with the curtains open, giving an outdoor hockey feel to an indoor game. To celebrate, the Winterhawks are giving away sunglasses to fans in attendance.

Swift Current Broncos @ Tri City Americans - 7:05pm (I don't see a preview, but the best place for Ams info is the blog, I Mean, We Got Guys I'm sure they'll have a game thread, too.)

Regina Pats @ Everett Silvertips - 7:35pm (Nick Patterson from the Everett Herald provides great Silvertips coverage)

Prince George Cougars @ Seattle Thunderbirds - 7:35pm (I don't see a preview, but a great place to get T-Birds coverage is at the blog, Let's Go Birds.)
The T-Birds are heading into tonight's game on a roll, having won the last three games, against the Tri City Americans, Portland Winterhawks and Regina Pats, so fans are pumped for tonight's matchup. It's also Marcel Noebels Bobblehead Night, but you'd better get there early if you want one, because only 2500 were made.
