Welcome!

I have wanted to make a Hockey Blog for a long time now and I finally found an aspect of hockey that I think has a lot of potential for academic and intelligent exchange.

Hockey as a sport has a very long way to go before it reaches international status and success. One day international hockey, domestic leagues, player transfers, tournaments, and competition will model European Futbol (Soccer). Although this model is very much a pipe dream at this moment, there are signs that hockey is headed in this direction. Therefore, it will be the goal of this blog to bring you those developments and exchanges of thought between intelligent hockey bloggers to document this development.

The international aspect of hockey is evident in every National Hockey League game played, the debate over European vs. North American training is constantly on going, and the meaning of the game from a European perspective is largley unknown in North America. Having said that, now is a more relavent time then ever to discuss hockey on an international level!
