Happily moving back to Seattle for at least a few months. SSH was one of my favorite parts of living here.

As excited as I am to turn the ball over to Cam and watch him snap it crossbar and in, I have some reservations about playing due to the laundry list of reasons not to currently go outside... Once the smoke dissipates, is everyone still playing on a semi-regular basis? Any new rules? Just looking for someone to fill me in on any new info about playing. 

Hope everyones doing well and staying safe.

Hi everyone,

I moved to Vancouver, BC, a few weeks ago. I know I haven't been in SSH for as long as most folks here, but playing hockey with you all was a highlight of my time in Seattle and I feel compelled to say a few words.

Jake, it all started with you graciously inviting me to my first game. Ray, the stick you lent me was the second time I ever touched a hockey stick at all! And to everyone else, thank you for welcoming me into the community. I didn't make it widely known that I had zero hockey experience, but I want you all to know now that you brought a brand new person into the game and gave him so much joy all those Saturdays.

Special thanks to everyone that took time to give specific instruction or advice along the way, and continued to do so even after being hit by my errant slap shots. I could name half the club, but I have to shout-out: Cam, Dan, Dean, James, Jared, and Ryan.

There's one more thing I'll always remember and cherish. For a…

I think the picture tells the story:

a) the hardness of the wheels isn't good for street

b) we're really missing the ice.  doing probably 5 hours a week out there.  both are 76mm wheels.  

Trying to find the same type of ball we use at SSH and can't tell from Amazon descriptions which one it is.  

Can someone shoot me a link or make or something?

TIA,

Will

We never cancel ssh. Game on! 

With most people being told to stay home, someone suggested weekday afternoon hockey.

Who’s in for that, and when shall we play?

The current idea is Thursday at 4 pm!

No rain until 6 now, let's start at 11:00 sharp. Get there a bit early. After the defensive strategy clinic, we'll teach Jim how to get up (without whining) after another one of his patented phantom-soccer-falls. Might take a while...

Won't get another chance for 1460 days. Who's in?

And no more rain in the forecast. Who's in?

Getting the ball rolling early. 40% chance of Sun. Hockey doesn't care about the weather. Chime in if you're in! Goalies fly free at Olafs. Game on!
