I'm a real Hockey fanatic especially since my son loves playing the game. I was at the arena this morning watching my son play some open ice hockey. My goal for him this summer is getting him at least 50 to 60 hours of icetime.

His skating has improved alot and I have been taking him to power skating clinics which have been making a big difference. He's probably going to make a decent power forward since he's a very physical and scrappy type of player. The problem with my son is sometimes he shys away from the physical contact especially when he's playing defense. He has decent speed but has the habit of sticking his stick out rather than leaning his body against the puck handler and muscling it away. Trust me my son is really skinny but I have seen him take out three player with one hit...

The Hockey Show gets a new face on NHL.com

The Hockey News: Screen Shots: Screen Shots: The Hockey Show host more than just a pretty face

Carrie Milbank will be the new host.

Although she focuses on many off-ice aspects of hockey on her NHL.com show, Milbank’s passion for the game is already at the level where it can boil over.

Quote:

“Hockey is the only sport that makes me yell at the TV without even realizing I’m doing it,” she said. “I’ll yell for whoever’s doing good or whoever’s doing really bad. I think I lost my voice during the Stanley Cup playoffs last year.”

She sounds dumb! Oh well, Anything to spice up the image and bring in viewers.

I guess it more important to get the green than play in the top league in the world..

**jec1** · 21-08-2008, 10:39 PM
