Xmas List

All of these gifts were found at www.mvp.com and other online stores, but most can be found at the sports shops around.  Day Street Sports in Norwood is great about ordering things that can't be found at area stores.  

STREET HOCKEY

• rollerblades

• rollerblade wheels and bearings if they are worn out

• street hockey net

• street hockey balls - You can never have too many.

STRENGTH & CONDITIONING

• wrist strengtheners - egg-shaped, ball-shaped, or the classic spring type, all good for building up the hands and wrists

• weighted puck - build up wrist and forearm muscles used in hockey

• ankle weights - wear them rollerblading, public skating or jogging to build up legs

• dumbbells - nothing to heavy, 5 lbs.  Use them for repetition, not power lifting, to build up wrist, forearms, biceps

• jump rope - to increase foot speed.  Ask all the boxers and wrestlers who use them if they are only for little girls.

FUN

• NHL Monopoly

• Any EA Sports NHL video game

• tickets to a Div. 1 college hockey game - $5-$12, bands, and players who don't whine about not getting $8 million per season.  BU, BC, Northeastern, Harvard, Brown, Providence are all within 1/2 hour.

MISC

• practice "ice" for use on driveway, simulates slippery ice surface for practice with pucks
