2010 Nationals – Day 1
2010 NATIONAL RINK
HOCKEY CHAMPIONSHIPS
By: Tom Hughes
The 49th Edition of the US National Rink Hockey Championships got underway Sunday, July 11th at Bremerton Skateland in Bremerton, Washington. The Championships will continue through Friday, July 16th with over 35 Teams competing in eight different age divisions. The last game of the day was an exhibition game composed of players trying out for the USA Men’s World Rink Hockey Team. The game not only allowed the coaches and players to work together more, but it was also played under the new rules of the game that will go into effect on January 1, 2011. It was a great opportunity for the Hockey Community to be introduced to the new “Rules of the Game.” The results for Sunday were:
