I'm going to suggest this one from Samsung...and not just because it has a hockey scene on the display! Because it has some features that sort of lend themselves to watching sports.
Hockey is especially tough to watch on TV because the action is so small and fast, so you really need a great TV to get the best viewing experience. You need great picture quality and a high refresh rate.
This one has a good refresh rate of 120Hz, and awesome 1080p res.
It has frame-to-frame smooth motion, which uses some calculations to basically eliminate blur, which is the biggest enemy of watching sports on TV.
Should be a great one for you.
