I have slacked off a bit here over the summer. It is amazing how much real life can put a damper on things. I will spend a lot of time looking at the new sweaters that will be coming out for the upcoming Olympics. I will also be updating the page from the World Championships [...]

Switzerland – IIHF World Championships
I am off to Switzerland to take in some World Championship ice hockey. Should be a good time, if I don’t get lost. I have to fly into Italy and take a train to Zurich. I then have to take two trains back to Italy to catch my flight home. If you don’t hear from [...]

What a Beaut!
Would you look at that? That, my friends, is something I have been trying to lay my hands on for the better part of 3 years. It is a t-shirt/jersey/sweater from the Lithuanian ice hockey team. I could not find a true jersey, but this is more then satisfactory. For about 100Lt. or about $37.75, [...]

Vilnius, Lithuania – Division IA Championships
It is about 14 hours until I board a plane in Dublin, Ireland and take off on the first leg of my ice hockey adventure. First to Lithuania, to see the Division IA Championships. This is a great coincidence, because my family heritage is from Lithuania so I was planning on going any way. Why [...]

World Championships…
I am not sure if this is common knowledge, but I have been blogging from Europe, Ireland to be exact, since September. So this offers me the unique opportunity to do things that I would not be able to do back in the good ol’ North America. Besides drinking legally before I am 21, I [...]

Sweet Pads
While looking at the pictures for my WC Vintage post and I came across Robert Kristan, goaltender for the Slovenian National Team. Look at his pads, they are sweet. It seems that he is going for the throwback look to the leather pads back in the day (which was a Wednesday, don’tcha know). He has [...]
