The young men and women of our armed forced make it possible for us to live as a free nation. It takes hard work and sacrifice to keep these freedoms that wee hold true. FREEDOM IS NOT FREE. God bless out troops.

Fall sports seasons will be ending in a few weeks. Having been a Youth Sports Coach, Parents and Kids alike are always wondering what to give their Coach to show their appreciation. Sometimes its a travel mug or a signed team picture. Those items are always a welcome sight at your end of season party.

Another idea is a Coaches Gold or Silver Whistle Gift Set. It is a perfect gift for the retiring coach or to mark a winning achievement! Nothing is more perfect than an engraved Coaches Whistle Gift Set. Both the whistle and the gift box can be engraved, and come with an engraved plate inside the lid.

Mite, Peewee, Bantam, Midget, and High School Hockey teams have begun their season along with the NHL. If you look back on an NHL Players career, you will see that their career started at an early age. They had someone who willing to get up with them on early mornings. Get them to the rink for practice on time. Someone to drive long distances, sometimes out of state, to get to games. Someone to pay for the expensive gear needed to play the sport, particularly if your the parent of a Goalie. That’s right! Nobody makes it to the NHL without that special someone.
