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 Huhns commitment to the sports 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. Huhns 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. Its tailored to the individual teams 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. Its 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.
