Tomorrow-- start time?

which is it people? 9am or 2pm?

i'm doubting that peto (who started the previous post) will be able to make the morning time as he is in canada tonight i think.

either way let's make it clear as the last post left me with only one certainty: adam is a goofball . . .

Reminder: Coyotes vs Lightning preseason game in Everett

I only got 4 responses from folks wanting tickets for this (Cory, Joe, Adam, and Jeff). I'm actually going to be out of town this weekend when the tickets first go on sale, and with the low response to this I'm not sure if its worth it for me to pull some strings to get internet access Saturday morning to get the tickets.

With that said, if there's strong interest posted in the form of responses to this blog post over the next 24 hours, then I'll do my best to get in front of a… Continue

Saturday, August 1st--early start? (9am)

Dear Seattle Street Hockey,

There was a paltry turnout tonight for the potential Tuesday night match. only Richard and Jeff showed up to play in the 97 degree heat.

Saturday is supposed to cool off some--to 87 degrees. In the spirit of possibly getting a better turnout, and definitely playing in some cooler temps, I was proposing an early start of say 9am?

when Cory suggested this a few weeks ago, I thought it worked pretty well. Please comment if you think you might… Continue

Saturday 7/25 Summary

It was a pretty small turnout today, only one goalie (Sharif) and enough players for 4 on 4 with no subs, or 3 on 3 with 1 sub each. We flip-flopped between 4v4 and 3v3 as the heat was excrutiating and some folks (namely me and my sorry ass) needed breaks. We played just one best of 3 series, and then called it quits and head out for some Choopy's margaritas. The white team, consisting of Vinny, Benny, Erik, Rob, and Bill were victorious 2… Continue

07.17 recap and Tuesday-- the new Saturday

at least while we have the daylight!

not much of a turnout on a hot saturday this weekend-- tho worth mentioning that first-timer blake showed up with roller blades, lol. to his credit he drove all the way home to grab his sneaks and was a solid contribution to quality of play. SQ outdid himself by coordinating the color of his hat, shorts, and socks (making it better was scottie claiming he didn't know about the socks-- uh-huh, sure). KS, jeff, erik, peto rounded out the numbers for… Continue

Hockey Night in Seattle - Tuesday July 14th

A couple of us have been talking about playing an extra game, Tuesday July 14th, in the evening. Say 6:30 ~~or 7pm~~ start? There's only a couple of months a year where we can pull this off. Sharif and Dan have already said they could play net if we get a turnout.
Reply in the comments if you can make it.

Bruises by Bubbles TM

So, I have attached just a sample of the havoc wreaked by Bubbles on Team USA in last weekend's annual series.

BTW, the last name of the victim of this particular Bubbles's special rhymes with "noyer"...

Missing Water Bottle from last weekend

Hi All,

In all the excitement from last weekend's Can/U.S. series, I noticed that one of my waterbottles went missing.

It's a gray, clear bottle with a yellow spout and a ringed clip.

If anyone picked it up last week, please let me know and I'll try to pick it up at hockey tomorrow.

Thanks very much,

Andrei
