Hi GoalieRick,

Thanks very much for posting these results, I really appreciate it. In 2002, I'd like to create more independent editorial on Inline Hockey Central. That means I'll be asking most tournament directors to post their events' results on this Message Board, so that I can use my time in a more constructive manner. There's no reason that these IHC Message Boards can't be THE meeting place for anyone and everyone who loves the sport of inline hockey.

Sincerely,

Richard Graham
