2009 Sin City Tournament in Vegas - Sign up now to join the Tsunami redeem team.

Despite coming in second last place in 2008, I think we stand a descent chance of winning it this year.

Due to overwhelming interest, they've split the event into two weekends- one for A/B level teams, and one for C/D level teams.

We are entering the C/D event that takes place February 20-22nd if we get enough people.

A full roster carries 18 players, and last year we needed every single one. One of last years star… Continue

9/20 Sat game, bring dark and white!

Cool to see lots of new faces last week. Good hands in the mix. Hippie made a great impression in net. He faced point blank full swing slapshots without flinching!

Andrei's goalie gear will be available if someone else volunteers. Rumor at the after game drinkup was some of new younguns played net previously. Time to step up!

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT : Bring a dark and white shirt. That's how we split the teams and we like to switch em around. Can't be that… Continue

Set of Goalie Gear

Hi All,

I won't be at SSH this Saturday again, so for those of you playing, my set of goalie gear will be at St. John's school between the portables where the nets are located.

Thanks,

StarCrossed Cyclocross - Saturday 9/20 at Marymoor Park

If anyone wants to see local, national, and world-class cyclocross competition, check this out! Cyclocross is the original off-road race; very fast short course, repeated laps on pavement, dirt, grass, steep hills, and obstacles to navigate by dismounting the bike. It's $5 to watch, beer garden, blah blah blah. The canadiens had a lot of representation last year too. Lots of hot athletic chicks from all around the world. The races go into the night, with a lit up course!

It's… Continue

9/6 game anyone?

School is back in session, few of us moved and fall is in the air.

Fall means time to get back in the saddle and have a good turnout Saturday. Baby is due any day now so I might have to go during the game even if it's 4-4 game 7.

Drop a comment if you're attending so we can gauge turnout, especially goalies...

Game on!

Nice mention of Vic and the Seattle Tsunami on the Canadian Ball Hockey Association Website.

I just recently noticed a nice summary of the "C" level Western Canadian Ball Hockey Championship we were lucky enough to attend. Here is the LINK

For as much damage as our bodies and egos took, the BCBHA and CBHA Presidents really treated us well and with respect. Looking back it was quite an honor.

"This year the C Championships celebrated its 9thth anniversary and with BC teams claiming… Continue

Canucks game-hospitality suite

Looks like prices have gone up since last year. A hospitality suite w/ 24 tickets included is now a cool $5000 before GST. This comes out to about $210/person plus taxes. I'm inclined to watch on TV and buy individual tix for a particular game if others are interested in a road trip to Van. Perhaps we could watch Craigslist and see if there are 6-10 tix for some games once the season starts.

Cheers!
