My knee is looking and feeling real good now. I should be up for hockey this Saturday. With luck, I'll be biking before the end of the week.

I've been able to keep up on my sit ups and pushups. I've also been practicing my stick handling and visualization drills. Tonight, I did a whole series of running drills - backpedals, sidesteps, and a bunch of stop/start explosive runs. Real short shit, but stuff that's puts strains on knees. I feel sore, but no tweaked pain. In fact, after I…

I've talked to several community centers in Seattle (through Parks Dept.) to get information about availability and pricing to play some indoor hockey. The centers do allow us to play ball hockey. I also limited my search to bigger gyms (Greenlake's for example is too bloody small I think) and location. With winter basketball starting up, times are pretty much limited to Sunday mornings or nights. Reservations placed several days in advance (minimum) are highly recommended. Here's some info…

My idea for building an effective, cheap, and simple barrier for keeping our ball in play is solidifying. I've bought some materials and am starting work. It should be pretty easy to store, transport (carry), and set up. I'll be utilizing the existing idea of snow/barrier fencing. No promises yet, as I need to build it first to see if it works. It'll be a few weeks out, but I'll definitely keep you posted. I hear others have ideas… Continue

Anyone up for a game on January 1? Same time (2PM), same place. Enjoy the Sabres-Pens game then come on out for a little street action!

Please post replies so we can gauge the turnout.

Happy New Year SSH!

I'll be there at 2.

Who's wants to grab a few pints with me at St. Andrews (or anywhere) Thursday night to watch a little HNIC?

Whoa there.

Due to lack of interest, I will not be going to St. Andrews to root for the habs and nucks.

Adamn!

I took the plunge and bought me a roundtrip ticket! I am so stoked about this! Kevin, I got a check for you, you'll get it tomorrow, 12/6. Thanks again for spearheading this. Damn! I love the enthusiasm! Gotta start thinking about names for the team...Emerald City Bruisers? Emerald City Growlers - that's even better, a little play on words - a growling, fierce animal, and a 'growler' as in a half-gallon of beer! Mmmmmm.... So, I found the best deals through Hotwire, looking for nonstops and… Continue

Who's up for a game this Saturday? Get that pie-turkey-mashed potatoes-gravy-cranberry sauce-did I say pie already-laden belly of yours off the floor and play some hockey!!! I'll be there at 2:00! Purge!

Hey! While some pretties are going down to AZ to work on their tans, who's up for playing some more pick-up back here in the Emerald City on the 10th? Count me in! If you plan on playing, let us know here so we're not left wondering! We need goalies, yeh? And goalie equipment?

To the fellas who are going down to Tucson (remember, don't give them the silent 'c' - make it "Tuck-son"), good luck and rub 'em into the ground!

Cheers, Adam
