Perennial hockey player and Sun Microsystems Inc chief executive Scott McNealy, who has 150 Russian scientists working for him in Moscow, is now sponsoring a different kind of ‘Dream Team’, sending back 20 star Russian hockey players who defected to the now-strike-bound US National Hockey League, on a five-game tour of their homeland where they’ll play against teams such as the Central Red Army, Russia’s best: for promotional purposes, Scott got to lace up and hit the ice with some of his heroes before they departed; the defectors will come back with shiny new Russian passports and in concert with Illustra Information Technologies Inc and Starwave Corporation, the games will be broadcast on the Internet.
