2009 Canada vs. usa game report.

It was much closer than the score indicates but Canada bested the US for the 3rd year in a row. Good thing this was over in 4 games. We would have needed stretchers otherwise.

The MVP (Koh Smythe) goes to Scott Macquarie. Well deserved. His superscuzz point shot mystified the US goaltenders.

Thanks to Koh's raffle efforts at the bbq, we now… Continue

Road closures and traffic

In addition to the Greenwood car show which will go up Aurora Ave and probably make parking a little bit of a problem, the rock and roll marathon is also going on tomorrow. Check out the road closures - http://www.rnrseattle.com/course/Road_Closures.html - part of Aurora and some I-5 exits will be closed. If you're planning on playing in the USA-Canada game, you'll probably have to plan on a bit more time to get… Continue

HOUGHTON - After missing six years of Bridgefest fun, the Feet on the Street hockey tournament was back, and for the 12 participating teams, it was a welcomed event. Only Kachows (11-14) and Bliss Assist (open) were left standing at the end, as they were crowned champions in their respective divisions.

In the adult open division, eight teams participated with only four teams moving on to the final day. The stage was… Continue

What about novice players?

Hi all -

A few of us with no experience playing hockey, but lots of experience watching it, are looking for a group of people to play with. Since the Saturday meetups seem to be intermediate and up (re a few posts by Cory on only looking for skilled players), does anyone have any suggestions or know of any meetups that are more casual?

Cheers,

The three goalies are confirmed and will share time guarding the nets.

The Commissioner and he stressed that there is continued interest in keeping a high quality of play as we… Continue
