National Championships
By: Tom Hughes

Tuesday, the third day of the 2010 US Rink Hockey National Championships, came to an exciting conclusion with two great Ladies games. On top of the two very exciting sudden death games earlier in the day, it turned out to be a fast paced, highly competitive day of rink hockey. If this is any indication of the rest of the week, it will be an excellent ending to the week of Championship Hockey that ends Friday, July 16th here in Bremerton, Washington.
