New Roller Hockey Book-"50 Minuti di Gloria"

One more bible of Roller Hockey

Since the beginning of XX century that roller hockey started to write several pages of history.
Fortunately in last years some people started to transcribe all this history to books, something that wasn't done until nowadays. After the release of the Portuguese book "Campeonatos do Mundo de Hóquei em Patins-Contributos para a sua história", written by Fernando Castro, and edited by Despertar Memórias, now it's time for an Italian book about our favorite sport.


With the title "50' Minuti di Gloria", this amazing work was written by Paolo Virdi, and editted by Lodinotizie. This great work includes 2 Books, one from 1982 to 1996, and the other from 1997 to 2012.
The first book is available since September 2012, and since 8th March 2013 the collection is complete.
Although it is written in Italian this is a fantastic present for all roller hockey lovers all over the World.
You can buy each book for 16€ more shipping costs, or all books for 32€ more shipping costs on the follow website.

It is important to notice that one of the most famous roller hockey brand, Meneghini Hockey System supported this work.
And the question now is, when and from where will come the next Roller Hockey Book???

Even if some people like to ignore our roller sport, it history is bigger than this people!!!

Let's Roll Forever!!!

Who says that Women don't play Roller Hockey in Italy???

They didn't give up

One of the reasons advanced in 1992 to no continue with Roller Hockey in Olympic Games was the fact of not existence a solid women's roller hockey system. Thus international federations did efforts to change all this situation an start women's international competitions of roller hockey. In 1988, CERH organized a first tournament in Eldagsen (Germany), before the first official one to happen lately in 1991. At this time Italy appeared as one of main and strongest teams, having this curriculum: 

• 2x European Championships (1991, 1993) 
• 2x vice World Championship  
• 2x vice European Championships (1995, 1997)   
• 1x third position in European Championship (2001)  

After all these successes, the participation of Italy in international competitions, stopped in 2006, being the last appearence in Chile's World Cup, where was ranked as 11th classified. Nowadays seems that Italian Federation has abandoned the women's project in our sport. Althought the passion for it didn't disappeared and this year there's a female team playing at the Juniors U-17 Championship against boys teams. The Roller Bassano Grapa gives the opportunity to all these women's to play their favorite sport. Another example of womens persistence in Italian roller hockey, was one reported last year in Italian media, about a young girl that was taking part of Corregio team.

Playing for the U-17 Championhip

The team is composed by 7 players: 

• Laura MINUZZO (#6)  
• Maria CRIVELLARO (#5)  
• Elena TOFFANIN (#9)  
• Giulia GRENDENE (#3)  
• Stefania MENIN (#23) Goalkeeper 
• Paola ZOLIN (#59) Goalkeeper 
• Sara BROTTO (#2).

and has as responsible Claudia SCRIMIN and Alessandro MILANI "Bibi" .

They know how to defend

 Rolling Together is sure that like these women's in Bassano de la Grappa, could exist more in Italy, which would like to play an Italian League just for ladies. Of course, this depends of FIHP (Italian Federation of Roller Hockey). So it's time to have again Ragazzas in European and World Roller Hockey.

A New ERA in Roller Hockey and TV

After many years without Roller Hockey live on TV, seems that situation is changing finally in Portugal and Spain.
There are two main reasons to reach this amazing goal for our sport:

1. A big effort by federations together with public and private TV's;
2. Web TV's started to grow and to prove that Roller Hockey still has market.

In Portugal the "Primeira Divisão" (Firs Division) was always broad-casted until some years ago, when the Portuguese Roller Sports Federation stopped the agreement with RTP, public TV.
However the agreement was renovated again and all the season of  2011/2012 will have at least a match broad-casted at 15:00 (+0 GMT Portuguese Time) all Saturdays.

In Spain the agreement was concluded between Spanish Federation and two channels TV3 and RTVE, being transmitted all Monday at 21:00 hours (+1 GMT, Spanish Time) in these channels and also in RFEP TV.





Italy keeps the agreement with RAI (not available by internet out of Italy) broadcasting weekly the games of the Italian league.




Beside the National Federation Agreements there are WEBTV's that also will transmit some matches of each competition. Usually this channels are part of the clubs, but others regional channels like:

Portugal:

• PA TV (matches of Paço de Arcos, team of 1ª Divisão)
• Física TV (matches of Física, team of 1ª Divisão)
• Plurisports 
• Benfica TV (matches of Benfica, team of 1ª Divisão)
• Radio Pico TV (matches of Candelária, team of 1ª Divisão)
• Porto Canal (matches of Porto, team of 1ª Divisão)
• TIVC (matches of Juventude de Viana, team of 1ª Divisão)
• HC Turquel TV (matches of HC Turquel, team of 2ª Divisão) 
• HóqueiPatins TV 
• Brunim TV 
• AP Lisboa TV 

 Italy:

• LodiChannel (matches of Amatori Lodi, team of Lega Nazionale)
• http://www.studio7hd.com/live_web_area_streaming.php

Argentina:

• Bochinstick TV (matches of Argentinian and San Juan Championship) 

Chile

• ViveDeportes (not available by internet out of Chile)

These are very important examples, and all Roller Hockey Fans would like to watch soon the same in other countries. It's very important to countries like France, Germany, Switzerland, Brazil, Colombia... where the Roller Hockey wants to reach other lever to guarantee transmissions by television or internet...

On the next Portuguese Link you can have weekly almost all matches in all Europe that have Broadcast by TV and WebTV:
