"Hockey Player for Life" is a new book, sponsored by Global Synthetic Ice, and written by author Howard Shapiro. It is an inspiring story that will appeal to anyone who has ever been involved with the sport of hockey.

The story is about a 13 year old "can't miss" hockey player who misses. It begins with his rising up after falling down and the subsequent mistakes he makes and life lessons learned along the way.

Our German distributor, Niki Warchola, worked with Panasonic Europe, LTD to supply a Super-Glide synthetic ice rink for the Panasonic Convention 2010 held in Munich mid-February.  We're not clear on what they used it for, but the big news was their new HD 3D video products, so we're speculating that they used the synthetic ice rink to get some spectacular skating action video with their new equipment.  There was also the clear tie-in with the Winter Olympics. Look for photos attached to this post soon!
