A victory for feet everywhere, I was introduced to Swiftwick’s sock line at the Hockey retailers show in Las Vegas. I picked up a couple pair decided I would put them to the test and see if they were as good as they were touted to be. I wasn’t disappointed in the least.
At first glance I wasn’t sure this product was for me but I tried the Oggie Ergo stick grip on my RBK 7K. It was definitely a new experience the first few minutes but I liked it enough to use it in a game.
Inline hockey has a new addition to the family of player accessories. It's feel of "it's very close to ice skating, but a bit different" can be taken away. The Newron skate has set a new standard by revolutionizing how a player can move on the roller surface.
For years, one of hockey's "Holy Grails" has been the invention of a street puck that actually acts like a hockey puck on ice. Created and founded by former NHLer Tom Pederson, the Green Biscuit is the latest entry into that race.
Face-offs are a very important aspect of hockey. Whoever wins the face-off, has just put his team on the offense and the opposition on defense - seems simple but that is why face-offs are so important.

In case you haven't visited the site in a few weeks, HockeyPlayer.com has gone through an impressive remodel. Not only is the site now free to use, but we still hold the articles that were on our previous site and added a better look to facilitate user experience. There have been new articles and video postings at least every week for a few weeks now. We have added all of the video product close ups from the "Let's Play Hockey Expo 2009" in Las Vegas, Nevada. We are still working on some summarys of new products from the show and gear we have received since then. To stay on top of all of our new article postings, follow us on Twitter.
Are you lined up correctly when delivering a hit? Make sure you are pushing your opponent's elbow into the boards as you put your leg in between your opponent's legs. This will keep them stuck and force a turnover or for them to play the puck.
Are you tired of the puck hitting your blade and bouncing off? Are you tired of your coach calling you cement hands? Have people stopped passing you the puck for fear of never seeing it again? Well, let’s fix that. Here are six easy steps to better passing.
Whenever we watch a great NHL game, it always makes us realize how important transition moves are in kockey (and this holds true for both ice and in-line skates). One common myth is that only defenseman have to be proficient in all transition moves, but you only have to have seen a Joe Sakic or a Teemu Selanne go from backward to forward to score a goal to realize that is a fallacy.
I am often asked questions about hockey equipment––like, what brand names are best? what size to get? how much to spend? I have found that there is no “one single answer” to these questions that is correct for everyone. Taste in hockey gear is a very personal thing… and varies from one player to the next.
