Good games on Thanksgiving Thursday despite the early hour. Game 2 of the doubleheader is this Saturday. Let's try to set up at Greenwood school. 1:30pm meet at school to build the rink, 2pm play. Forecast is for dry weather so come out to burn the Turkey feast and shake off the tryptofan.

Game on!

Courtesy of the BCBHA President: Possible draftees for your men's hockey team...

Unfortunately, I think we all know where each one of us fits.

Possible draftees for a men's hockey team ...

There are hundreds, possibly thousands, of managers across Canada who

will spend the long weekend making personnel decisions in time for the

dawn of a new rec hockey season. Granted, the majority of these

managers are in charge of teams with names like 'Old Puckers', 'Rusty

Blades', 'Just the Tips' and 'Nine-Inch Males,' but don't be… Continue

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the ssh general fund last week. The kitty currently sits at $145 (plus 2 argentinian Peso, thx to Chuck). We need a some more to buy a Goalie gear set and some playing balls. Click on the donate button or bring money at the game. The fundraising goal is $500. Very doable if everyone chips in.

Thanks,

Greenwood Elementary

great turnout last weekend everybody-- and the hockey gods obliged by keeping the rain off our backs. with the number of people showing up lately we really need to be playing at greenwood elementary; it's 5-on-5 and a bigger surface which will be better for those of us representing in vegas this february. we should also start playing with the bouncy ball for half the games (in my opinion) for the next couple months and maybe a red-line offsides too.

here's the rub: people need… Continue

11/8 game - goalies?

We avoided rain most of the day and got great games in last Saturday. Sharif, what happened? No show? We had to unretire Kreptul and put him in net. He did awesome but the thin gear earned him a few good bruises.

Who's in goal this week?

We need some fresh cash for new goalie gear. Suggested donation $20. Donate here on the site or at the game Saturday.

Game on!

Semin compares Crosby to "dead wood"

Alexander Semin interview from the Yahoo blog Puck Daddy. the next pens-caps game oughta be interesting.

Many people believe the Crosby/Malkin/Ovechkin rivalry is now the Crosby/Malkin/Ovechkin/Semin rivalry. Do you believe you're on that level of hockey stardom at this point in your career?

SEMIN: What's so special about [Crosby]? I don't see anything special there. Yes, he does skate well, has a good head, good pass. But there's nothing else. Even if you… Continue
