text: i just started to wach hockey so can you tell me all the best players and how can i get my team?   best players?  depends on what you're looking for in a player.   goalies, some of the best are martin brodeur, roberto luongo and mikka kipprusof among forwars, some of the "best would include jaromir jagr, joe thornton, dany heatley, ilya kovalchuk, pavel datsyuk.  some top defensemen in the nhl are zdeno chara, wade redden, bryan mccabe, ed jovonoski, scott niedermayer. there's really a ton of "great" players, i've skipped over so many. as for "your team", depends on what league you're looking to follow.  if you're looking to follow an nhl team, comcast and outdoor life network carry games, as does nbc during the playoffs.  in canada, games are found on cbc and tsn.  if you're really hardcore, you can get nhl centre ice which carries pretty much every nhl game. if you're looking for something a little more local, odds are there's a junior, semio pro or minor hockey team in your area.  check out nhl.com, they have links to hockey federations around the world, as well as semi-pro leagues.
