In response to the overwhelming demand for reliable information about minor hockey (also known as youth hockey), The Hockey Source recently launched its Web site (http://www.thehockeysource.tv). The Hockey Source interactive Web site provides education, expert advice, 'how-to' instruction, entertainment and a roster of valuable resources for not only those who play, but all people involved in minor hockey. The site focuses on providing reliable, unbiased, and realistic information in conjunction with the upcoming television show scheduled to begin airing in October of this year. "The Hockey Source is a great resource for information, fun, entertainment and education for all of us who are interested in or involved in hockey, including fans, players, parents, executives, scouts and others," states Toronto sports and entertainment lawyer Gord Kirke. With approximately 4.5 million hockey players, coaches, managers, officials, trainers, administrators and volunteers registered with Hockey Canada and approximately 700,000 registered with USA Hockey, the need for minor hockey information is evident. The Hockey Source seeks to fill this void by providing people of all ages and levels of interest valuable information that will help them make sound decisions and, most of all, have more fun! "I want to better the game by bettering the people," states Executive Producer and creator of The Hockey Source, Kevin Huhn. As a coach, mentor, instructor, scout, family advisor, and former player in minor hockey, Kevin put his thirty years of knowledge and experience into his book, Hockey-ology - The Ultimate Guide to Fun & Success in Minor Hockey expected to be released in September of this year. And because the love of the game is at the heart of the business, 25% of book proceeds are being donated to minor hockey teams, leagues and associations. In addition to the book, The Hockey Source offers two lines of products: Rink Mates, which is designed to help solve problems around the game of hockey; and Signature Series, which provides hockey-inspired apparel. The Hockey Source is a production of Fire 'n Idea Inc. which is a privately owned Canadian corporation.
