Why would you want to risk your safety by wearing a helmet, mask or 
facial protector that has not been certified for your protection?

Well, my daughters got their Sports Illustrated Kids today, and one of the
articles was interviews with athletes, and that sport they COULDN'T do.
Cammi said she could never be a figure skater because she had no grace and
couldn't follow the beat of the music.  The caricature was great.  Cammi in
a skating dress and hockey skates.  Both my figure skater and my hockey
player were thrilled.

Actually, if you have athletic kids and are looking for a hook to reading,
try this magazine.  It has men, women, kids, disabled, able-bodied, run of
the mill, and extreme.  I enjoy it as much as the kids.  (Think summer is
getting too long and I should go back to work.)
