Hey Rich,

If you do NARCh, you'll probably have to do TORHS, USARS, USAHIL and a few more acronyms. Guess it depends on how many your readers want. I wouldn't make more than will fit on one page,...

Keep up the good work, Rich. I think IHC will reach its' goal.

Hi Rich,

I've already sent my donation in, and hope that other readers come thru soon so you can start putting news up on the home page again soon!

Great column on the Olympics and some of its more ridiculous sports here:

However, if baseball's sweating getting into the Olympics,...

Does anyone have their gloves re-palmed, or do they just chuck 'em?

They've been working for me all day...

I hope this congress is boycotted. It's totally unfair to Let's Play Hockey and NARCh, both of whom have had their events at the same time and place for at least three years. USARS could easily rent...

They also sued Inline Magazine a few years back for an article that exposed the practice you're thinking about. Self interest seems to be a much larger goal for them than the growth of the sport....

Rich,

Count me in. I've sent $20 for four raffle tickets.

My prayers are with you, Ben!

More than 450 people read this thread and only 33 answer the poll question? No wonder this sport is so screwed up! If you can't get people to answer a poll that will take them 5 stinkin' seconds,...

Anyone care to argue who the best RHI player was?

Here are some candidates:

Goalie:
Rob Laurie, Anaheim Bullfrogs
Jon Gustafson, San Jose Rhinos
Jeff Ferguson, Los Angeles Blades
Chris...

Umm, what's this got to do with the poll?

Got any women on your team? I remember hearing about a Topcat Hockey team named....

Where did you shoot the kayaker? California? Oregon?

What, you'd prefer USA Roller Sports? LOL

Go for it, Richard. The tournaments and governing bodies can post their news on the message boards anyway.

Press releases from the organization that helps put the tournament together ar never going to tell the whole story.

But, I'll bet the U.S. would have won both FIRS and IIHF if they'd put one team...

Does anyone besides me think it's nutty to have two "world championships" happening at the same time? I talked to some buddies who don't know anything about the politics of the sport, and they all...

Fun.
Safety.
Good referees.
At least one party where there's beer :)

Would love to hear how it goes, kj. Go Minnesota North Stars! (Oops, was transported back in time...)

I think it's cool that the U.S. sent a younger team this year, despite the result. The uniforms look awesome! (I clicked on the banner ad for the IIHF Worlds and looked at photo galleries with U.S....

No need to get personal. Sounds from the tone of your replies that you might work for NARCh. Which is cool; NARCh is a good organization.

My point is that the money NARCh (which comes from its...

I'd pay $25-$30 a year for a hard-hitting monthly newsletter full of information. Postage alone ($.37 x 12 = $4.44) would be a big cost for the creator.

My point exactly. You've got manufacturers pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars into NARCh, which comprises the elite players, an obviously small subsection of the entire sport. How does this...

For argument's sake, let's say the basic living wage is around $30k per year. I think that a "pro" player should make enough money to pay his or her bills. If the season is only three months, he/she...
