The Half Wall – The Pure Hockey Newsletter  - Composite Vs. Wood  - How do you light the lamp?  Being the rink rats that we are at Pure Hockey, we constantly hear and see the never-ending debate between composite and wood sticks. Even with the amazing popularity of composite sticks in hockey - there are still a good amount of players that prefer wood sticks. The biggest question we hear is, "Why composite?" or "Why wood?" So the great debate rages on; see here to read on.....  Choosing the correct helmet - With high school hockey starting soon and head injuries in contact sports a hot topic,  do you ever wonder if you or your child is properly protected for the level of hockey they play? One of our knowledgeable associates took the time to create a useful video to explain how to fit a helmet and also wrote a guide so you can find the best model for you....See here for more or click here to see a video demo.

The following link is to a sad story in the NY Times. Please take a moment to read it and pass it on. It is another case proving USA Hockey's point about removing Body Checking at Pee Wee and the severity of the new helmet removal rule. Thanks to NYSAHA Legal Counsel and Past President of the East Section Mark Chinitz for providing this.
