Just thought I'd put together a small recap of the 2012 CanAm event.

Noticed this on the following web site:

"New for 2012, the Seattle Thunderbirds will be presenting a ball hockey
tournament.  Details coming soon!"

Love it!  Another chance for a street hockey tourney in the area.

Thanks to everyone for a great Can-Am game yesterday. Even though we lost, there was some great hockey, tempers were mostly held in check, and everyone had a good time.

Congratulations to Cory for winning the Koh Smythe. Enjoy that T-shirt sweater this year. Thank you especially for hosting all of us at your house.

Thanks to Mike Laing for overall coordination and working on the BBQ - the food truck was a great addition.

Thanks to Benny and Vincent for…

Game on!

Just an FYI for those who played in the past or may want to be in this year's tournament, I received the following email:

Rob,

This year’s Street Hockey tournament is tentatively scheduled for July 28.  Once all the details have been set, we’ll be posting information.

I was going to try to make it up for the game. I am headed to Seattle for 6 months, and hopefully I will be able to get some Saturday games in. For Saturday's can-am game I have been told the USA roster is full. Although I don't publicize it, I have (gasp) French Canadian ancestry. Any chance I can make it on the other roster?

Here's the final CanAm roster for Canada. If your name is not on this list, we'll see you at the bbq!

Fellow canuckleheads!

I see the USA team has to turn them back at the door... Is our roster still open? Is anyone really paying attention on that? Haven't seen a post on it, but that doesn't mean there wasn't one. If someone could help a brother out and post who might be making it this weekend, maybe we could instill some fear into the hearts of our American counterparts.

thanks!

Seeing as we don't have a cup that I could use to give my daughter a bath in, I had to at least put her in the second best "trophy" in sports - the Koh Smythe. Who's going to take it home this year?

I also noticed something interesting - looking at the names on the back, the first three people no longer play with us (for various reasons), and the last two both…

This year's post-game BBQ is being hosted by Cory at 752 North Seventy-Eighth street (close to 80th and Linden).  While the team rosters are limited for the big game, everyone is welcome at the BBQ, so come on out even if you're not playing in the game.  Bring the wives and kids too!  The food starts serving at 6pm.

The logistics of previous years' BBQs and the characteristics of Cory's party space has led us to go with a caterer this year…

Thanks to everyone who emailed me regarding Team USA for this weekend's CanAm Series.

Probably the only logistical challenge for USA over the last few years has been too many players.  As captain…

I broke down and couldn't stand the suspense any longer. Who's in? Who's in goal? Weather is a perfect cloudy 60degF.

A few weeks ago, we had our own Can-Am game at work. In a precursor of what our Can-Am game will be like next week, the USA won by a score of 8-5. Yes, that is a mini Stanley Cup - we need to do something for our own game.

I'm out this week, but will be ready to go next week as the US wins our first Can-Am…

Weather is shower and sun breaks, so it will be a fine day for hockey. Who's in? Goalies?

It will be another nice day for hockey, partly sunny and high 60s. Who's in? Goalies?

Hey SSHers,

If anyone is interested, I'm happy to have a BBQ at my place after hockey this Saturday.  The weather is still supposed to be nice, so let's take advantage.  I'll even DVR the Rangers/Devils game so people can watch it.  Feel free to bring spouses, kids, friends etc.  I'll have some burgers, dogs, beer etc, but feel free to bring whatever you'd like.

The great weather continues! Who's in? Goalies?

Hey Team USA prospects! Our roster is limited to 5000 or so. Check out Benny's previous post for details or you might miss out!

Smoke 'em if you got…

Hey All,

I just wanted to thank everyone who generously donated towards my sons Kick-A-Thon on Saturday.  I couldn't believe the generosity, thank you so much.It's great having so many friends who care about things greater than themselves.

If anyone is still interested in donating please let me know.  The proceeds are going towards scholarships for the Yi Sport Tae Kwon Do program, travel scholarships for nationals, and much needed equipment…

One of my favorite ssh tradition, the CanAm game is back! Team Canada, still undefeated is going for the 6-peat...  Vegas odds listed at -1000... Will team USA cause a major upset? Who will walk away with the coveted Koh Smythe? That's why we play the game...

Drop a comment if you're A) Canadian citizen, B) You played enough ssh (otherwise, USA…

If you are interested in playing for Team USA on June 16 at the annual CanAm series email me at:

It's easier to communicate cohesively via email, and besides it's always fun to find out about the leaks and who they came from after the games are over whilst holding a beer...

But in fairness I will say there is…
