A to Z - Ice Hockey
Developed by the UK-based "Ice Hockey Annual", this huge
compendium of ice hockey information (over 14,000 entries) is all
the more notable for its international scope. No NHL-centricity here.
In fact, the only Americans and Canadians in the site's Hall of Fame
are in the International Ice Hockey Federation section. A constant
work-in-progress, this site is a seemingly bottomless well of hockey
trivia and lore. Need to know the Attendance Averages for Finnish
Division 1 hockey? The winner of the 1997 Croation hockey championship?
What the "A" on players' jerseys means? Its all here and
much, much more.

Camping
Tips for Parents
When I was a kid, camping preparations in my
family meant throwing a few blankets and pillows into the back of
the van. Sometimes we threw in a change of clothes. Then we were off
into "the wild blue yonder." Though exciting, our camping
trips were very difficult at times (especially in bad weather). But
your family camp outs needn't be so difficult. Camping can be fun
as well as exciting if you prepare properly. Here are a few camping
tips from a veteran camper to start you on your way.

Family Camping
The sight of crisp stars on a moonless night
and the flicker of campfires. The smell of campfires, coffee perking
by the fire, bacon frying in the morning. The sound of your children
laughing and having fun playing with the "little things in life."
These are a few of the things camping is made of. Have
you already tried family camping, only to run into a few rough spots?
Have you been wanting to family camp but haven't quite known where
to start? If so, this is the place for you!

Kites
Kites date back 3000 years, when the
Chinese made them from bamboo and silk. Over the centuries kites have
been used in religious ceremonies (in ancient Japan), scientific experiments
(such as Ben Franklin's famous kite in the thunderstorm) and for military
maneuvers. But today, the kites we like to fly in the spring are just
for fun! Here is a look at both the history and the fun of kites.

Pete's
Family Camping Site
We are a family of 4 that began camping in 1995.
My wife and I camp with our two daughters ages 10 and 13. Our camping
experiences have been centered around "Family Campgrounds",
that usually offer some activities and amenities. We have yet to do
any hard-core wilderness camping, perhaps soon now that the girls
are getting older. Our camping outings are a mix of camping as we
travel and simple weekends away from home, including 1 or 2 mom and
dad only outings. We have decided to stay with tenting as opposed
to a pop-up or something more closely resembling a house on wheels.
