Roller Hockey Photos

Back in March 2007 Steve Sirkin contacted me telling me he would be publishing an A5 size magazine for skaters. Steve is a supplier of general skating equipment in and around London. Issue one came out in May 2007 with a small mention of the NRHA on the top of a page halfway through the mag. With the next issue pending I decided to ensure the NRHA would have good representation in every issue. Since then skaters have been able to read about traditional roller hockey (Quad) in all the issues of Skate mag.

I thought it would be a good idea to have one of the issues with a Roller Hockey theme, after speaking to Steve Sirkin in August 2007 we agreed I would supply the cover picture for the first A4 size magazine due to go on sale in May 2008. As you can see from the picture we made it happen, the current issue has Brendan Barker pictured on the front cover with double page articles from Aileen Barker (NRHA general secretary) and double page articles on Ian Morrison and James Taylor currently playing pro roller hockey in Spain and Italy respectively. A great read about other skate disciplines in this excellent issue.
