This course, Social Media Marketing, has taught me a lot about the importance of social networks in the business world. Social media is becoming a bigger and bigger part of everyone's lives. They are constantly tweeting, posting, pinning, and just about anything "ingy."
To take advantage of this with my business, I would definitely have a Facebook account, a Twitter account, a Pinterest, and a blog for my business. All of these are extremely effective ways to connect with your target market and to reach new people. So these are the ones that I would recommend to anyone who is looking to start a new business or someone who has a existing business and wants to keep in touch with their customers in a way that they are familiar with and already are using in their everyday lives.

Who Will Win The Cup?
The anticipation for the playoffs this season is killing me! I am so excited to watch the action and see who comes up big in the end. I've been thinking about this quite a bit and I came up with a small list of NHL teams that I think will win the cup this year.
The Capitals, however, are doing extremely well this year. Having acquired forward TJ Oshie, they are not to be taken lightly. They are number one in the league currently and show no signs of slowing down. They haven't won a cup in a while so they are definitely hoping this is their year.
The Ducks last won the Stanley Cup in 2007. A couple of their players from that team are still on the team today. This brings them a lot of experience and is useful to help show the younger players the ropes. Anaheim has good depth this year in the roster too with names such as Perry, Getslaf, Selanne, Koivu, and Cogliano.
Tampa Bay came really close last year to winning the cup, losing to the Chicago Blackhawks in the end. With many players returning this year to the lightning they will be just as much of a threat.Steven Stamkos is a remarkable young player and is capable of leading his team to a cup I believe.
But anything can happen in a sports game as you all know and that's what keeps things so interesting and why I enjoy watching sports, hockey in particular. If anyone has any predictions of their own feel free to share!
- Chicago Blackhawks
- Washington Capitals
- Anaheim Ducks
- Tampa Bay Lightning

Stick Em Up
The topic is hockey sticks, there are so many of them available how do you know what stick to get? You should never buy a stick just because it's brand new and just came out. You should base your decision on what works for you, what feels best in your hands? Everybody is different, people shoot the puck and stick handle in many different ways. There isn't one stick out there that you can buy and it will make you automatically good at hockey. You need to find what is comfortable in your hands and what gives you the best results.
Now there are many different brands to choose from, I personally prefer an Easton or Warrior stick. Other brands that you can't go wrong with are Bauer, CCM, Mission, or Reebok. Of course there are many more to choose from, these are just the more popular ones that come to mind. All these brands are used today in the NHL so even the pros are using this equipment.
At open the Door to Hockey we offer a selection of sticks and equipment from Easton, Bauer, Warrior, Reebok, CCM, Mission, and more. At our pro shop, Dangles, we have a area set up where you can test out your shop with different sticks on some artificial ice and a net. We have a variety of sticks from various brands taped up and available for you to test out. This is very helpful when you are torn between two sticks and don't know what one to buy. You can always listen to your friends or read some reviews online. But the best way to decide what works best for you is to actually try it out for yourself and compare. We make this possible for you to do at Open the Door to Hockey, so don't be shy and come on down today!
