EURO CURVE

Euro Curve takes a daily look at the latest international hockey headlines.

- Rumours are rampant on the internet ( Hockeybuzz.com, Kuklas Korner) that Peter Forsberg may decide to stay in his native country and play for MODO of the Swedish Eliteserien.

- A moment of silence was observed during last nights Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins/ Bingamton Senators AHL game in honour of Darcy Robinson who suddenly collapsed last Thursday during a game in Italy. Robinson, who played for Asiago, collapsed during the first period of an Italian Ice Hockey League game on September 28, 2007. It is believed he suffered a massive heart attack.

I would like to announce the newest feature of Euro Curve: The international website of the week. This week's site profiles Romanian Team Sport Club Miercurea Ciuc. The site is http://www.sportclub.ro/. As most of the european sites are written in a native tongue, you will likely not understand the text, but that doesn't mean you can't expand your horizons.
