Even in a World dominated by Internet nowadays, Books still have an important place concerning information.

Right way to promote Roller Hockey done in Austria and Israel

Finally after some ideas also gave here on Rolling Together, CERH understood the right way to promote our sport and expand it in different countries than the traditional ones.

Thus, CERH sponsored the "YOUTH CAMP" realized in Villach, Austria, from 30th July to 4th August. As reported by CERH and Mundook website the training camp had the collaboration of the portuguese coach, Luis Duarte. Happily the Camp was a success and soon we would like to see Austria's progress.


Lucas Sorio
Israel follow the same way


Israel nationals teams set out and begin their journey to 2012 world championship.

From 12th to 26th August, with the help of Mr. Lucas Sorio a professional Spanish coach, Israel will start to prepare their national teams to world cups of 2012, and who knows also junior teams to europenan cups. The activity will happen at the new hockey rink constructed in Beth lehem aglilit. You can follow all this important news at http://rinkhockeyinisrael.blogspot.com/

Brands and Roller Hockey, two dead ringers

Flyer of Federal RHPL
Everybody knows that to play a sport there are necessary stuff to use...
In the case of Roller Hockey, the most important, that distinguish from other kinds of hockey are the rollers and stick.

Unhappily the brands of Roller Hockey stuff are not so spread by the World as we wish. Another problem to add is the price of all stuff. Roller Hockey is famous to be quite expensive, and one of the reasons is the production of almost all the quads and sticks in Europe, and not in China, like in other sports.

On the next list we can find almost all the brands that produce or sell roller hockey equipment:



Stuff that Roller One offered to Addiction RHC
One of the ideas to help this companies to sell their products in other countries would be the sponsoring roller hockey events/teams/players/federations.
Several examples are available:
  • The Federal Roller Hockey Premier League, that will happen in October in New Delhi, India. Federal is a company from Catalonia, and they are one of the main supporters of the tournament. 
  • Roller One (Portuguese brand) is supporting Addiction Roller Hockey Club from India, with stuff, and also French Federation.
  • Reno (Catalan Brand) sponsors Pinamar team (Uruguay), Hockey in Israel and Hockey in Mexico
  • TDV (Portuguese Brand) supports  English Federation and English National Teams.
It's very necessary to have an intensive relation between our sport and their stuff suppliers.
It is simple to conclude that if our sport grows up also the companies will grow, if he die, also the companies will die.

One more time entrepreneur is the base to know what is the better way to do this connection.
If you have ideas or more examples of this connection or other brands that are not presented here feel free to add a comment

52th All Japan Championships

Japan's Team on 2010 B World Cup
 Sometimes there are countries which is very difficult to find information about Roller Hockey. One of them is Japan, and the big reason is the language. Just with a big effort using a web translate, it is possible to know more about the activity there. As all the World knows, Japan was affected by a big earthquake and after a tsunami, that destroyed mostly the north part of the country. Like other sports also Roller Hockey suffer a lot with this tragedy.
Happily the competition didn´t stop and, one more year will be disputed the main Japanese Championship, the 52th edition of All Japan Championships, proving that Roller Hockey exists there since a long time.


Concerning the teams, there are no names confirmed yet, but usually Japanese Roller Hockey is based on teams coming from national Universities.

View more documents from cartaoazul

Comparing numbers and also teams presented at the last editions of the Tournament, it's possible to conclude that there were a decreasing of 2 teams from 2009 edition, Uruguay and Netherlands. Furthermore countries like Brazil, Ecuador, Macao, Mexico and New Zealand which played the previous competitions, also will not be in Portugal.

Considering the actual crisis time, it's good to see so many countries, coming from all Continents, but of course that one more country would be excellent to avoid the existence of a group just with 3 countries.
