Bauer Acquires Mission Hockey
Well I went to Mission Hockey's website today and saw that Bauer acquired Mission Hockey. I have been out of the loop regarding hockey companies and their business decisions as of late, so I don't know how new or old this is. I do have to say, it is not what I hoped for. I realize the economy is tough and the sport of hockey hasn't been very popular as of late, but having one company buy up all
Easton Synergy Hockey Stick
I'm an old school inline hockey player. Lately I've been looking at the Easton Synergy hockey stick. If you are into hockey at all right now, you'll probably have seen this type of stick in stores or at the various online hockey shops. I mentioned I was old school. I'll explain what I mean by that with a question. What is the obsession with the one piece hockey stick? I don't play hockey as much
Best Hockey Wheels
As I'm writing this write now, I have a list of what I deem to be the best hockey wheels I personally have used. Now, before you ask yourself, "What wheels are the best for my hockey skates?", you need to know what kind of player are you. Your first response will probably be that your an inline or roller hockey player. Well, of course you are, but are you fast or slow, what position do you play?

Its' called Play It Again Sports.Play It Again SportsIt's basically a normal retail sports store. I used
FA CUP FINAL PRE-MATCH
Chelsea FC drew Everton FC last night in an entertaining match that reminded many of the forth-coming FA-CUP FINAL ON May 27th,2009.The match was well-balanced as Everton FC successfully defended against the BLUES rampaging attack.
Joseph Yobo,Joleon Lescott and the other TOON defenders were awesome as they did well to contain Didier Drogba, Florent Malouda and Frank Lampard's bid to improve their position in the League.
Everton FC is currently 6th in the table and the draw certainly helped to maintain this positon which will guarantee a place in the UEFA CUP next season.
The FA CUP FINAL at WEMBLEY STADIUM on May 27th promises to be very entertaining and mouth-watering as it will feature Nigerian players such as Joseph Yobo,Mikel Obi, Victor Anichebe and Yakubu Aiyegbeni. It is also noted that a Nigerian,Daniel Amokachi had featured for Everton FC in their last FA CUP FINAL.
ARSHAVIN:ARSENAL FC HERO
Liverpool FC's hopes for winning the 2008/2009 Premiership title was dampened by Andrey Arshavin's four goals which forced the Reds to conclude the game with a draw in a highly entertaining game that produced 8 goals.
Arsenal FC's defence had looked very questionable as Yossi Benayoun and Fernando Torres provided the much-needed boost for Liverpool FC. Liverpool FC needed a win in order to maintain the pressure on Manchester United FC. However, some defensive errors and counter-attacks by Cesc Fabregas and Andrey Arshavin led to 4 goals from Andrey Arshavin.
However,The Reds made up when Fernando Torres scored an equalizer in order to level the game at 4-4. This means that Manchester United FC has 3 points ahead of the Reds as they had beaten Portsmouth FC at Old-Trafford on wednesday night.
ARSENAL FC WEEK
Arsenal FC may have secured their spot in the Semi-finals of the UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE against Villareal FC of Spain but their match fixtures for the next one and a half week really signifies that they hold the key to who wins the 2008/2009 Premiership Title.
The Gunners play Chelsea FC today in the Semi-Finals of the English FA Cup.
They play Liverpool FC in a Premier-league game on Tuesday 21st April.
They play Manchester United in a Premier-league fixture on Saturday 25th April.
They play Manchester United in a UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE fixture on 29th April.
Thus, its very clear that either Manchester United FC or Liverpool may win the title depending on their result with the Gunners.The Gunners will also play Tottenham FC.

CHELSEA NEW COACH
As the race for the 2008/2009 English Premiership Title draws to an end, Chelsea FC is faced with the dilemma of once-again going to the market in search for Guus Hiddink's replacement..The Dutchman has proved his worth at Stamford Bridge as he has successfully guided the Blues to the Semi-final of the UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE and has ensured that the Blues maintain their position in the top 4 of the English Premiership.
However, he has severally stated that he is going to leave at the end of the season so that he can continue with his role with the Russian National team as Head Coach.
The possible targets for the job are Frank Rikjard and Carlo Ancellotti of AC Milan FC. Ancellotti had come under fire at AC Milan over the exit of the Italians from the UEFA CUP.Thus, Rikyard may be seen as a possible choice for the Blues at the ed of the season.

CHRISTIANO RONALDO
Christiano Ronaldo has been adjudged as being better than Loinel Messi of Barcelona FC by no other person than Messi's barca team-mate Thierry Henry. The French forward thinks that Christiano is better because he has won more trophies with his team in recent years and that he had scored more goals than the Argentine last season despite Messi's current form.
Christiano Ronaldo really deserves the praise after his shot from about 35 yards ushered Manchester United FC into the Semi-finals of the UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE against FC Porto.Thus, his goal helped to break the unbeaten record of FC Porto against British Football clubs.
ARSHAVIN'S OPINION
Andrey Ashavin of Arsenal FC believes that interim Chelsea FC gaffer Guus Hiddink can overtake Manchester United and win the Premiership TItle for the 2008/2009 season. The Russian star believes that Manchester United Fc cannot be comfirtable or secure at the top of the table as they have lost form and had struggled to win thier last game against Sunderland FC. He also asserted that Hiddink who also doubles as the Russian Coach is now recognised by England as a special manager.
However, Ashavin is going to come up against Hiddink and Chelsea FC in the Semi-Final
of the FA Cup on Saturday which would be a unique chance for him to prove his mettle against his National team Coach.

Hockey Goals or Hockey Nets
It is very important that when you play inline or street roller hockey that your two teams have Hockey Goals or Hockey Nets. You can call it either or, but for the sake of this article I'll refer to it as a hockey net. When I was growing up, not everyone had a net. It was usually the goalies who had nets, because they needed those in order to practice. Every once in a while, we would only be able

ROONEY AS NEW ENGLAND GOLDEN BOY
The world has always seen the emergence of great players who have given much impact on the global game. Players such as Raul Gonzales Blanco of Real Madrid FC, Alessandro Del Piero of Juventus FC and many others have given much to respective their clubs and countries.
Manchester United's Wayne Rooney could emerge as England's Golden boy as his performances during the current England friendly and World Cup Qualifier at Wembley Stadium as been very astounding. England coach Fabio Capello has continued to give his nod towards Rooney's outstanding passes, ball control and attitude towards other England players as he seeks to lead the THREE LIONS to the WORLD CUP FINALS in 2010.
However, Rooney's high temper on the pitch either for club or country has often been widely debated as shown during his high tackle on a Slovakia player during thier recent friendly match.
Hockey Equipment For Indoor Hockey Is Expensive
Is indoor hockey espensive? Short answer is, yes it is. Playing inline hockey at a local club with a sport court has its ups and downs. First I'll go through the ups of an indoor club. The surface is probably the best thing. A slick smooth tiled sport court is great to play on. You can go faster, play smoother and it is easy on the rest of your equipment. Sport clubs themselves tend to be rolling
Jofa Hockey Gloves For Inline Hockey Players and CCM
Ok, when I first started hockey, I wasn't using equipment that was the best of the best. Inline pants were replaced with nylon track pants. It looked close enough to the real thing. I won't go deep into hockey sticks right now, but I did use a wooden stick. This stick would often splinter, so I needed to wear gloves. I wore basic winter gloves to keep my hands from getting pieces of wood stuck in
