Chicago Cup Results:
Chicago Cup 08 proved to be a great success thanks to some very competitive and yet great spirited hockey. Thanks to all our members for helping make the tournement run so smoothly. The tournament website has been updated with all the scores and standings and a tournament write up and a few pics will follow shortly.
Philaronto dispite an unfortunate set back (Philly ladies not making it) played some fantastic hockey and went onto to finish as Champions. Both our Chicago teams put in a great effort finishing 2nd and 3rd.
Again a special thank you to our sponsors: Ambient Heating & Cooling, De Stefano + Partners, Farmers Insurance, NorthShore Soccer & More, Seyfarth Shaw LLP, Star Travel Network & Windy City Field Hockey.

Hi everybody!!
Just in case you didn't know, the 2008 Men Champion's Trophy is taking place these days in Rotterdam, a city located in some European country whose name I cannot remember, but it's somewhere between Belgium and Germany.
I found a web site where you can apparently watch some of the games LIVE. I never had the chance to actually test this feature but it seems it works!! I'll try it tomorrow.
The site is http://www.worldhockey.tv/ . You also have links to watch the replays of previous games.
And remember if you want to see good hockey this Tuesday at 19:35 Rotterdam time (around 12:35 PM central time) Agentina plays against the Netherlands.
And before you ask, NO, Arno is not playing. He is still recovering from his stiches..
I hope you find this information useful.
Thanks!!
Julian
