Podelil Hokejové Gény Vážení čitatelia blogu Oh my Hockey! Je mi potešením oznámiť Vám, že nová e- kniha s názvom Veľká päťdesiatka je na svete. Pracovali sme na nej dva mesiace a stála nás skutočne veľa úsilia a času s písaním, grafikou i zisťovaním najrôznejších informácií. Prevedieme Vás situáciami zo života päťdesiatich hviezd NHL od mladučkého Mitcha Marnera až po veterána Pekku Rinneho. Dozviete sa, čo má spoločné Taylor Hall so slovenskou dedinou či podrobnosti o údajnej Kesselovej závislosti od hotdogov. Každý hráč sa niečím odlišuje, má svoje špecifiká a prežil vlastný hokejový príbeh. Ako študenti sme, bohužiaľ, museli trochu upustiť od písania blogových článkov, keďže sme mali plné ruky aj hlavy e-knihy, do čítania ktorej sa o chvíľu pustíte. Je nám to ľúto, no veríme, že raz nebudú musieť isté veci ustupovať iným a budeme môcť túto prácu robiť profesionálne a plnohodnotne. Táto e-kniha je iba prvým z mnohých projektov, ktoré pre Vás pripravujeme. Zorganizovať veľké veci bez financií je v dnešnej dobe takmer nemožné. Preto nižšie pripájame i prosbu o dobrovoľný príspevok pre náš blog, aby sme mohli naďalej fungovať a prinášať Vám čo najviac rozmanitých a zaujímavých noviniek. Nebudete sklamaní a určite ich s radosťou uvítate. Na záver mi dovoľte popriať Vám príjemný zážitok z čítania tejto knihy. Verím, že sa Vám bude páčiť, že pri nej strávite nejaký čas a poskytnete nám aj spätnú väzbu. Pevne dúfam, že toto je iba začiatok dlhého hokejového dobrodružstva, ktoré spolu v nasledujúcich rokoch ako hokejový národ budeme zažívať.

The proposed facility would be attached to the WFCU Centre and primarily serve turf-oriented uses with some consideration of non-turf uses. HSP was also requested to investigate the addition of an outdoor turf field with a seasonal dome. The primary aim of the facility is to increase local usage with the additional potential to host major events. HSP met with or interviewed sport user groups from the local area, provincial-level organizations and national governing bodies to determine the local opportunity as well as the potential to host tournaments. The available facilities for most sports in Windsor (and most larger facilities across Ontario), as well as the current and likely future demand, were analyzed and profiled as part of the HSP study.
