I just ordered one from Adorama and they sent me a notice they were out of stock so I have it on back order. I think B%H is the same way....Rich
must be a few people ordering, Adorama had them in stock this morning when I checked and posted the link. B&H says their stock will arrive about June 16th.

When I ordered mine the site said they had them in stock but after I ordered they sent me the notice they were out and that my order was on back order. Myself I'm not in that much of a rush so I will wait until they ship it to me.....Rich

I saw someguy using one of these at a Sabers game a couple of months ago, I wondered what it was--now I know. The ushers made him take it off the glass halfway through the first period. After that he was using the ol'rubber hood.

the best solution is a polarising filter.

The LenSkirt works exceptionally well capturing scenes from a fast moving train, so it should do the same for a hockey game. I'll be interested in feedback from anyone who uses one.
I think the thing to understand with LensSkirt is that the four corners of the "skirt" are affixed to the window with suction cups. Sitting on a seat in a train (or on a bed in a hotel room) allows for this static kind of setup. The question is, at a hockey game, if you stick the cups to the glass will you be allowed to stand there for the entire duration of the game? If so, then it should be fine (though you might get some strange looks from the fans)

I recall from past experience that a polarizer will eliminate some reflections, but my memory tells me that it doesn't always do so. I'll have to explore using one again later today and see what the results are.

Just did the necessary experiment. No, a polarizing filter does not eliminate all reflections of light sources on the inside (camera side) of windows. It is dependent upon the angle of reflectance, but that consideration can severely limit your getting the picture you want. For convenience and quality of results I'll stick with my LenSkirt.

odd, it may be different for digital imaging devices, but for my film cameras, i've never had the problems you are encountering.
