Suprisingly, it&#8217;s not even so popular in USA as it should be.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"\/wordpress\/wp-content\/20040525-IceHockey-In-Close.jpg\" alt=\"Ice hockey\" \/><br \/>\nThis article, never-the-less, was a good push for me to wonder around the web and to enjoy some excellent resources out there. Here are few links so that you can join my pleasure. :)<\/p>\n<p>First of all, the monsters of ice hockey &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nhl.com\/\">NHL<\/a>. Everything you wanted to know about ice hockey and more. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.usahockey.com\/\">USA Hockey<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockeycanada.ca\">Hockey Canada<\/a> are the next two stops. <a href=\"http:\/\/live82.ihwc.net\/english\/index.ihwc\">IHWC.net<\/a> should balance all those to Europe a bit. There is a site devoted to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.exploratorium.edu\/hockey\/\">science of hockey<\/a>. There you can find few interesting facts about hockey physics, interviews with Sharks, and a couple of videoclips. Some fine images and stories are also available at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hhof.com\/\">Hockey Hall of Fame website<\/a>. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.azhockey.com\/\">A to Z of Ice Hockey<\/a> covers a bunch of lists of players, games, books, magazines, and DVDs. There is an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.firstbasesports.com\/hockey_glossary.html\">Ice Hockey Glossary<\/a> for those who missed a term or two. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-fans.com\/\">Hockey Fans website<\/a> has a more dry look to it, but is full of information about players and clubs. It also features some statistical analysis of NHL.<\/p>\n<p>Now I think you can get the feeling of how much I miss these games&#8217; action. :)<\/p>\n<!-- google_ad_section_end -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!-- google_ad_section_start -->\n<p>Staying in Cyprus for more then 5 years in a row makes one miss the winter fun.
