Must Read Hockey Articles for Coaches & Players

Many of you are probably already familiar with Let's Play Hockey - Minnesota's Hockey Newspaper. If you are, you may have come across John Russo's "Golden Rules" articles in the past. These articles cover some great basics for forwards, defensemen, and goaltenders. If you've never seen these articles before, here they are:

Getting Ready for the Backyard Rink

I thought I'd share with you a funny moment - below is a picture of my car after stopping at NiceRink to pick up my liner for this year, bumper caps and a couple other misc. orders. I guess the moral of the story is to bring a truck if you're going to pick up your rink for the season! :)







...in case you're counting, that's 1 - 50' x 80' liner, 30 bumper caps, 4 liner weights, 1 - 24' x 44' replacement liner, team first aid kit, puck bag (w/ pucks) and a water bottle cage...all squished in the car!
