NHL Season Cancellation - a Minor Hockey Matter
This development poses no risk at all to the game, because NHL is just one option for hockey fans. So many more people are involved at other levels–especially minor and youth hockey, which involve more than 5 million North Americans
Markham, Ontario (PRWEB) February 19, 2005 -- One of the first to respond to
the announcement Wednesday that the National Hockey League season has been
cancelled was author Kevin V. Huhn, an authority on minor hockey. He said, “This
development poses no risk at all to the game, because NHL is just one option for
hockey fans. So many more people are involved at other levels–especially minor
and youth hockey, which involve more than 5 million North
Americans.”
Evidence of Huhn’s commitment to the sport’s advancement is
his creation of The Hockey Source–The Ultimate Resource for Minor Hockey. This
new venture provides innovative and comprehensive resources for minor and youth
hockey, including an interactive website: www.thehockeysource.tv.
Both the website and The Hockey Source television show (expected to begin airing
early 2005) provide expert advice, “how to” instruction, and entertainment for
everyone, no matter what their role in the game.
As author of
Hockey-ology—The Ultimate Guide to Fun & Success for Minor Hockey, Huhn
contributes financially to the sport, donating 25% of the book proceeds to minor
hockey teams, leagues, and associations. Huhn’s efforts also include a program
called the Team Management System (TMS). Considered “the ultimate communication
and planning tool,” this simple step-by-step guide for coaches and managers
provides assistance with strategic planning and fundraising strategies. It’s
tailored to the individual team’s needs, and includes a free consultation with
one of The Hockey Source specialists.
The goal of The Hockey Source, says
Huhn, “is to strengthen the game by helping the people involved in every role,
from the parent and the fan in the bleachers, to the manager. It’s about
bettering the game by bettering the people. Love of the sport is at the heart of
the business.”
The Hockey Source is a production of Fire ’n Idea Inc., a
privately-owned Canadian corporation.
