WHATS INSIDE

A) We Media needs your support
B) PowerHockey™ World Cup news
C) Be a part of PowerHockey™


A) We Media needs your support

Please visit www.wemedia.com and show your support.

Our national media partner needs your support. Please take a moment to read the below information and visit: http://www.wemedia.com, for more updates. We Media specializes in information and resources for the disability community. We urge you to support We Media as they seek to protect their rights. We Media supports PowerHockey™, so now we ask you to show support for We Media.

On January 19th, We Media filed a lawsuit against General Electric Co., National Broadcasting Company Holding, Inc., National Broadcasting Company, Cablevision Systems Corp., Rainbow Media Holdings, Inc. and American Movie Classics Company. These companies have recently decided to change the name of the Romance Classics Network to "WE: Women's Entertainment."

We Media claims that the defendant's usage of the "WE" name threatens the tremendous investment We Media has made in the brand message it has been building since 1997. For the last four years, We Media has been building an entire media company starting with its magazine, followed by its Website and television programming - with much more to come. We Media believes in the value of the "WE" name and what it represents to the people it reaches and serves.

Please show your support. When you visit www.wemedia.com be sure to sign-up for a FREE 1-year subscription. We Media magazine is easily the best publication for and about ALL types disability issues.


B) THE EXCITEMENT BUILDS

As many of you know, the first PowerHockey™ World Cup will take place in Minnesota, August 5th - 9th. Currently the U.S. EWHA is in contact with over 10 teams, from countries such as Australia, Germany, Finland, Italy, Canada and the US, who are making plans to attend this exciting event.

As we are communicating with these teams on a regular basis, if you have any questions please contact us.

C) DO YOU WANT TO BE A PART OF POWERHOCKEY™?

If we are not busy enough with World Cup activities we are always in contact with people around the world who want to be a part of PowerHockey™.

The U.S. EWHA has a goal to promote, develop and assist others in being a part of this exciting sports opportunity. The first step is simply to contact us. We will advise you on a umber of ways to begin a PowerHockey™ team, league or program, and the many ways we can help.

We are currently helping individuals in many cities start the process. Whenever we feel we have enough interest in a given area (city) we actively pursue starting a program.

We are currently involved in an effort to find players in New York, Pittsburgh, and the Los Angeles area (all future divisions of the U.S. EWHA). If you are from one of these areas please contact us soon.
