We are definitely in the heart of our travel season. Last week we were on Hawaiian time, 6 hours different then where we are now in Pennsylvania. Next week we’re back on Cali time for our largest regional event of the year in Irvine where we’ll cram about 225 games into 3 days.I was looking forward to coming to this event for multiple reasons.

Please take a minute to check out this story. Many in our roller hockey circle are familiar with JuaqStong and his story. Juaq was lucky in every way. He had an unbelievably strong group of friends and family and was very fortunate that a few of those people were able to get him the proper help he needed in his battle. With his strong will, proper treatment, and some god willing luck, he was successful in his fight against this horrible disease. A documentary is being made about his
