September Update

Good Day Hockey fans!

Well we just came out of our first hockey weekend here in Daytona. The Embry Riddle Eagles faced off with the USF Bulls. Unfortunately our Eagles could not pull out a win this weekend.

Watching the pre game warm ups it was obvious the Bulls hit the ice solid and confident. They did appear to still be getting used to each other and some plays were not on track, but overall looked like they were progressing and had some good flow. A little line tweeking and they should be on top of it.

The eagles came out looking a bit disheveled with a huge lack of connectivity out on the ice. There were a lot of superstars and very few team members out on the ice. The lines seemed uneven and the overall appearance was abismal at best. Lets hope they can pull it together for their upcoming games Sept, 21 and 22, home here at the Daytona Ice Arena, facing FAU. Check the Website www.daytonaicearena.com for game times.

Now for the Blaze. If you've been following them you know the deal so we wont rehash that stuff. Their practicing now and their first game is slated for the 28th of this month here at the Daytona Ice arena. Come out and support them and watch some action filled hard hitting hockey.

Our Solar Bears kick off their preseason away, facing off with the Florida Everblades at Germain Arena in Estero Florida, located between Naples and Fort Myers.

Then we have our NHL, Sorry but I have to say, what a joke. Just like the other upper level professional sports. They all believe they're worth more than they really are. That goes for both sides, Players and Owners. The only ones who really get locked out are the fans. But Hey fans if you really want to see some change, grow a pair and dont support them when they do come back, perhaps they'll get the point that this behavior is unacceptable.

I could go on and on but Lets hear your opinions on the whole NHL Debacle.
