Is Matt Murray the Best Goalie in the OHL Today?

He might not get all the headlines, but Sault Ste. Marie's Matt Murray has to be considered one of the best, if not the best goalie in the OHL right now. Just check out the numbers - a 13-4-0 record, 2.34 G.AA and .926 save percentage, all among league leaders.

Team USA Olympic Roster

I expect there to be much debate about this roster, but if I were the GM of Team USA and selecting the team today, here's who I would choose, and what I would open the tournament with.

Re-start TPS Turku? Yes, please

TPS Turku was one of the most successful teams in the Finnish liiga during the 1990s. Many talented players together brought the team, not only to be a top-team in Finland, but also in Europe. In this Wikipedia-link you may find several well-known players in the list of notable alumni: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TPS_(ice_hockey) Today is the situation "a bit" different from that time.

Balsa / Volt / Black Lunar Gato II

This is the boot for excellent ball touch on the street, concrete and other surfaces, with an incredibly soft goat leather upper eliminating break-in time and supportive mesh panels for breathability and locking the foot in place.

Black / Neo Lime / White Elastico Finale II

Almost 25 % lighter than its predecessor, this incarnation involves a thin responsive and breathable upper with Nike Skin around the toe for durability, as well as a groove down the forefoot offering flexibility with the athlete’s foot.

Nike Fc 247 winter colourways


Nike have been very busy during these Christmas holidays, especially when it came to updating the Big Swoosh’s own range of boots for the small-sided game, the FC247 collection.

In fact, following the highly eccentric Energy Pack, we have seen the amazing Flash Pack update, and now the brand is marketing a colder style for the winter months as seen below.

Rugged Black Bomba Finale II
The understated look of this boot, almost in blackout, does not compromise the benefits of the super-light NikeSkin upper wrapped in All Conditions Control technology to ensure maximum performance in both wet and dry conditions.
