                                             St. Louis Mo.- As the Champions Cup is aproaching us, the IMHLAA season
                                             heats up. It should be a great finish. But as i've been watching the last
                                             couple of weeks, i couldnt help but notice the unbeilevable amount of nail
                                             biting finishes to games, shootouts, and an unprecidented amount of young
                                             talent. So much of this atmosphere of great sport in fact that i asked my
                                             self, could this sport be the next BIG sport in America, along with the big
                                             four, basketball, baseball, and football. They often call Footbal, Americas
                                             sport. but why cant it be mini hockey? NFL sets a bad example for the youth
                                             of the world. For instance, Randy Moss with a vulger touchdown dance
                                             imitating the act of pulling down his pants. Yes it did make me chuckle, but
                                             that is besides the point. You dont see John Londoff, or Andrew Freund the
                                             poster boys and faces of the leauge doing such acts. Some say that they love
                                             football for the physicality of the game. If you want physicality, look no
                                             further than last weeks incedent involving Timmy and Harry Londoff.
                                             Unfortnateley injuries were involved during the conflict. You canot find the
                                             speed in footbal that you can in mini hockey. The battle for that small
                                             piece of styrophone that is o so precious on the magic carpet, all in an
                                             attempt to smash it inbetween those holy PVC pipes were goaltenders like
                                             Timmy Londoff. Timmy is included on the frozen Cactus's that have quite the
                                             portfolio of wins including, St  Pattys's Day Scramblem, St. Noels Battle,
                                             and many more. Maurice Claymont a french player who is being recognized by
                                             the league and is a future star for the Mini Hockey World. So much talent,so
                                             much speed, so much intensity, so much atmosphere in the sport.There is
                                             basketball, baseball, football and now...Mini-Hockey.
