Are you ready to get some fresh hockey equipment for the summer season? One of the best opportunities to affordably load up on new gear is to take advantage of retailers looking to clear out the previous year’s inventory. Especially for us adult recreational players, a new 2011 piece of equipment is light years ahead of the stuff we’ve been using. Just a few weeks ago, in fact, I found out that my shoulder pads are actually older than some of my teammates!

Thanks to a new sale at one of the biggest online hockey equipment websites, you can save some major cash while you get a new pair of skates, some sticks, or even some training shoes to help keep you in shape all year round… [Read more...]

Current Hockey Monkey Coupon Code: Save 5% site-wide on items at Hockey Monkey, by using the special offer code MAY2012 during checkout. Offer good until May 31, 2012!

Coming in as a 4-time defending champion, Chara successfully made it 5 straight victories by setting a new NHL record with a 108.8 mph blast on his second attempt. Shea Weber (using his trusty Easton S19) came in second, just as he did in 2011.

What will it take for someone to knock Chara off his throne?

Easton Stealth RS Grip composite hockey stick

How many times have you come back to the bench frustrated after having a golden scoring opportunity fire wide of the goal, or get a prime chance right there in the slot, only to flub the puck meekly into the goalie’s pads?
