DO YOU KNOW - 1000yrs before England was known for the game of hockey, the Vikings of Iceland played a game "Knattleikr" which later became known as "hockey" as we know it today?

"National Ice Hockey" is proud to sponsor & promote our "Hospital for Sick Children" & "The Childrens Wish Foundation"
For every child with a hockey stick in hand playing in games & tournaments, there's another child without.
Our children are our most precious gifts & they are the reason for tournaments such as ours.
Our goal is to provide fun, excitement & social interaction among our youths, giving them esteem, praise, and a life-time of positive memories. Unfortunately, many children in the world will not have the same opportunities. We suggest to everyone-to keep in mind the unfortunate truth of children who cannot enjoy the same pleasures in life & encourage people to open their hearts to them. Share a little of your time, or make a small donation to;

How Much Hockey Is Too Much?

During the last weekend of November, the annual Silver Stick Tournament for minor atom, peewee, bantam and midget AA and AAA teams was held in Whitby, Ont. A total of 120 teams played 274 games over four days. But none of them was required to go through what a group of nine-year-olds from Connecticut had to endure. And if you’re not familiar with the structure of youth hockey, this is going to shock you.
The Mid-Fairfield Yankees are a group of nine-year-old players (born in 2004) that travelled nine hours to get there. In just over 48 hours, this group of nine-year-olds played seven games. Then, get this, everyone jumped back in their cars and drove back to Stamford, arriving home at about 1 a.m. for school the next day.
Dr. Michael Clarfield, who was once team doctor for the Toronto Maple Leafs , said recently that 40 percent of his clientele is young hockey players. He sometimes sees up to 10 concussions a week, but leading the way is adductor strains, which comes from repetitive stress on the same muscles.
Mary Mete (a hockey mom) says; With all those kids playing hockey so much, she has a chiropractor come in every week or so to work on the boys.
A chiropractor. For 15-year-olds. Seriously?
