Last week, ESPN turned their Sunday Hockey Night into a Sunday Hockey Night Tutorial. I wish I would have known about it before that weekend; I would have written this column sooner, for all of you parents who feel as helpless about the action on the ice as I do. As I did, I should say. Kudos to ESPN for taking this complex, fast-paced game and making it easy for novices to understand. If you missed the game and its definition graphics, "http://espn.go.com/nhl/rules/index.html" NHL Rules is a great website that ESPN put together. At your finger tips you can find out the most important information about hockey terms and rules.
"http://www.azhockey.com/"A-Z Hockey is another very informative site, but one that will tell you more than you ever imagined you wanted to know. A great site for young budding hockey stars who want to learn about their favorite players in almost any league.
One thing about hockey is I get tired just watching it. I have a lot of respect for hockey players; they are fantastic athletes. Anyone who has read my columns knows that I am big on "http://nimbus.ocis.temple.edu/~thagan/"proper training and conditioning, and hockey requires an athlete to be in excellent shape.
I'm having a lot of fun finding interesting hockey sites. Next time, I'll focus on the many leagues of youth hockey.
