Custom Hockey Socks Guide

Hockey is among the most intense sports ever invented and has many different forms; like ice hockey (used with ice skates), field hockey (no skates, just a field of grass/gravel), and street hockey (used with rollerblades). Every one of these styles of hockey are intense enough and can provide athletes and audiences alike a tremendously enjoyable game.

It’s important, in any variety of hockey, for players to wear the proper clothes and especially the appropriate socks. Games can take place during cold or humid climates and a sock allows protection from any various extremes of the weather. Apart from protection from the climate, it can also become a mini-buffer against accidental strikes from pucks, hockey sticks, and even other players’ feet.

WEC: Henderson Decisions Cerrone

The oldest fight sport adage in the world is ’styles make fights’. For that reason, no one knew quite what to expect in Saturday’s WEC Interim Lightweight Championship battle between Donald Cerrone and Ben Henderson. Henderson was known for his dominating wrestling skills, while Cerrone has a reputation as a punishing striker. Instead of being a clash of styles, however, it was an instance where the differing approaches of the two competitors complimented each other perfectly. The result was a ‘fight of the year’ candidate bout that Henderson won by a narrow-yet unanimous-decision.

Henderson opened the fight with a takedown, but quickly got caught in a guillotine choke attempt. He extricated himself from this predicament only to find himself in a triangle choke that appeared for a moment to be a potential fight ending submission. That would not be the case, however, and Henderson would take control in the last half of the round with his powerful takedowns and ‘ground and pound’ punching assault.  Read more...
