The Lycos 50 Daily Report
 The things you're searching for.October 15, 2001 

Hockey Talk

With hockey season upon us, we thought it was a good time to take a look at hockey searches on Lycos.

Hockey searches stand far behind those for other sports on Lycos. For example, last week hockey received two-thirds as many searches a basketball, and only half as many searches as soccer. The NHL received half as many searches as the NBA.

The difference is even more apparent when it comes to player searches. The most popular hockey player online, Washington Capital Jaromir Jagr, received as many searches as the #11 basketball player (Rick Fox) and the #11 baseball player (Cal Ripken).

Here are last week's top 20 searches related to hockey:

1)  Hockey
2)  NHL
3)  Hockey pools
4)  New York Rangers
5)  NHL 2002 (video game)
6)  NHL.com
7)  Toronto Maple Leafs
8)  Fantasy hockey
9)  Ice hockey
10) Hockey drills

11) Hockey equipment
12) Field hockey
13) Detroit Red Wings
14) Boston Bruins
15) Hockey jerseys
16) Dallas Stars
17) Buffalo Sabres
18) Hockey news
19) Roller hockey
20) Montreal Canadiens

Just because hockey isn't as popular as other sports, though, don't think Lycos doesn't have you covered. Lycos has plenty of NHL news and plenty of NHL fan gear for you to purchase. Plus if you are looking for a hockey pool, check out our Saturday night hockey pick 'em game.

TOMORROW: Which is scarier? Anthrax vs. Halloween on the new Lycos 50.
