I'm covering the World Championships on Twitter (@ihockeyworld, www.twitter.com/ihockeyworld (http://www.twitter.com/ihockeyworld)). I will be going to Varese July 8th so hopefully I can do live updates when I'm there (depends on whether I can get some WiFi connection)...

Hey towson9,

Do you have any details about the Women's final? I know that Team USA won, but information is sketchy (or hard to find) on the FIRS site, and the video doesn't work for me. Thanks!

You can find the sheet @ http://www.worldinlinehockey.org/images/PDF/SW-G56-CZE-USA.pdf

Team USA is 2-1 so far.... beating Great Britain 7-0, Italy 7-3, then losing a nail biter to the Swiss 3-2.

Game 4 is tomorrow

Hey towson9,

sorry Richard i dont have any information on the Women's final. Unfortunately I'm getting all my information on twitter and the World Inline Site (which like you said, isn't very much)

[RichardGraham]

Thanks! I interviewed Women's Team USA Coach Jeff Prime today and got more details. I'll try to get something up on the Home Page about it, as well as the men's team results, as soon as I can. Right now, my focus is on the AAU Junior Olympics. I need a clone or two.
