NPR story about the USA Men's Field Hockey team not playing in the Olympic Qualifier in India.
Hockey began as a simple ball and stick game, the modern form closest to the original is what we call field hockey. All variations come from this sport. All are amazingly familiar once you grab a stick and begin to play.

Conventional mouth guards are made from soft material and transfer forces to teeth with risk of dental injury.
There are three main types of conventional mouth guards, all based on the soft material EVA:
- Stock guards -- These are pre shaped, bulky and uncomfortable, They are hard to breath, drink and talk with. They have poor fitting and users complain about significant drooling.
- "Boil and Bite" -- To some extent personal fitting is possible, but they are still bulky and uncomfortable; hard to breath, drink and talk with. Drooling is a problem with these as well.
- Dentist made -- The advantage is the custom fitting. They are less bulky, but still not comfortable and hard to drink and talk with. The major disadvantage beside discomfort is that they are far too expensive.

Electronic Edition of FH LIFE Magazine

There is an article about the high school goggle controversy.
Personally it should be about how a non-field hockey high school organization is corrupting the sport.
The best answer is not to cave in and wear goggles, but to
START PLAYING CLUB FIELD HOCKEY.
p.s. get a FREE COPY of the magazine when you place an order at Dita
