MORE GREAT Euro-vidz -- this time the "Finale de la Coupe de France" for the Championship of the French "Elite" League (and on the French national OrangeSport TV network at that, with a good-looking...
More great Euro-game video's -- note the crowd:

The French coach in both vidz is classic -- you don't even have to speak a word of French to...
Ruppy --
I think that I'm pretty much 100% in agreement with your assessment, with the KEY factors that you brought up (and seconded me on) that the smaller 'size' of the court actually creates a...
UPDATE --
How can anyone NOT like the THIS version of the game better:

Great factual and conceptual ("counter"?) points by both Steven ("quick_dry") and "Drexel63" -- however, in my own humble opinion, the actual Winter Olympics itself should be seen -- by especially...
Actually, just like Danny's said and contrary to present "Olympic" appearances, the women's international game has definitely not "regressed", as statistically, in terms of actual player...
Basically, I 100% agree with pretty much everything said here, although in my experience hardwood floors are very fast ("smooth is smooth", dude!) and almost all of the "Elite" Euro teams play with...
Not even close to Speed Hockey (which was like playing hockey inside of a pinball machine...although it was admittedly much more entertaining than anything AIHL/PIHA/MLRH-whatever-wise).
In think it's clearly just the nature of the tighter, smaller attack zones, shooting lanes and lines of attack -- because of the extremely fast back and forth 'flow' of the "smaller" Euro-game, the...
It might be interesting to get a poll on this one -- which do you prefer: North American-style big rinks and game-play or the European/HK-style smaller rinks and game-play ("smaller" being "3/4" or...
I TOO "think the euro way is THE way" and wholeheartedly agree with everything you thoughtfully stated, as anyone who really wants to play an exciting game knows that the smaller rinks provide for a...
Actually, "pittsburgh26" (below) has it spot-on in terms of why the game is much more entertaining and exciting on virtually every level in the smaller rinks -- you name it, whether it's the fan or...
Define what you mean by this rather factually unsupported statement, as 'proportionately' speaking, the smaller rink plays much faster and much more like the speed and 'flow' of the 'ice' game...
And "more" --
Lions HC Arrezzo (Italian) team game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJ5hWfyTG2s
CPLV vs EDERA TRIESTE 1904 in the EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS CUP 2007:...
Actually, as I stated in another thread regarding this subject, it's interesting, 'cuz in Europe the inline hockey game is thriving -- well organized and growing, they generally have a great on-court...
Take a gander at what the PIHA, AIHL and MLRH-whatever can only DREAM about marketing & fan-base wise, let alone game-speed/excitement-wise (YES, the smaller converted gymnasium courts actually...
I totally agree with you -- and YES, the NHL is the ONLY league ANYWHERE that goes to the "home office" ("war room"?) to 'decide' video replays. And once again, look at GEEZ, the POST-PLAY --...
Very good point. However, here's my call on this one --
I think that young Mr. Tallo (or anyone with the talent that could be in such compensatable demand) should in fact be allowed to do...
Hmmm...I guess that old saying that rules were meant to be broken really does apply, doesn't it...!?!;)
ABSOLUTELY...POSITIVELY...UNEQUIVICALLY..."THE" #1 REASON -- the MAIN reason -- RHI went bust. I know a couple of mid-90's RHI GM/Coaches who stated that THIS ALONE was the single BIGGEST factor in...
Did you guys actually check these guys out? Even read their own website "Feedback" link? There's clearly a LOT of angry, unhappy and dissatified customers who've apparently been stiffed by this...
GREAT program!!! If I had a vote (on a decent DO-something NGB), I make you in charge of youth development -- again, great work!!!:)
Another great post!;)
Ummm, SORRY -- from the sounds of it, I think you must be thinking of NARCh or something, as our event has ONLY ONE (1) "Open" division, that's it (although I'd bet you'd stand a great chance of...
Excellent and well-pondered post!;)
