USA vs Canada!

Anyone interested in hitting Bleachers Pub on Wed. the 31st at 4:30pm to watch the USA/Canada World Jr. hockey game? Should be a good one on the big screen.
If there is enough interest, I'll call ahead to make sure they put it on.

Here's some vid candy from the World's Junior. Probably goal of the… Continue

12/20 Game? Roll call.

I'm out of town but I'm told we're having serious snow in Seattle. Anybody will be making it to the game this week?

Let's have a roll call. Drop a line in the comments whether you're in or not. I'll be there if enough people commit to showing up.

BTW, our new post game drink up spot is Bleachers. Unbelievable HD big projection screen, cheap booze and no attitude.

Priceless hockey photos...

As everyone in Seattle panics for the upcoming storm of the century, I was left wondering if I could find this photo from a Sports Illustrated I remember seeing a few years back. I was able to...so I put together some I thought you would enjoy.

At the bottom are some of the Canadian Club Whiskey ads that have been around for a couple of years, I think they're classic.…

12/13 (possible snow) Game + bday + 12 pubs

Saturday forecast is for cold and even a low probability of snow! Snow games are fun. Reminds me of the Quebec days playing outside -30C weather.

For after game chaos you already know about the 12 pubs of Christmas. We'll also celebrate the 40th revolution around the sun of our own Chucky T. If you can see past his questionable taste in music and his lack of passing, you'll find a great… Continue

First thing on the shopping list are orange balls. I'll go buy a bunch so we should be set for a little while.

Courtesy of the BCBHA President: Possible draftees for your men's hockey team...

Unfortunately, I think we all know where each one of us fits.

Possible draftees for a men's hockey team ...

There are hundreds, possibly thousands, of managers across Canada who

will spend the long weekend making personnel decisions in time for the

dawn of a new rec hockey season. Granted, the majority of these

managers are in charge of teams with names like 'Old Puckers', 'Rusty

Blades', 'Just the Tips' and 'Nine-Inch Males,' but don't be… Continue

Fundraising results

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the ssh general fund last week. The kitty currently sits at $145 (plus 2 argentinian Peso, thx to Chuck). We need a some more to buy a Goalie gear set and some playing balls. Click on the donate button or bring money at the game. The fundraising goal is $500. Very doable if everyone chips in.

Thanks,

Greenwood Elementary

great turnout last weekend everybody-- and the hockey gods obliged by keeping the rain off our backs. with the number of people showing up lately we really need to be playing at greenwood elementary; it's 5-on-5 and a bigger surface which will be better for those of us representing in vegas this february. we should also start playing with the bouncy ball for half the games (in my opinion) for the next couple months and maybe a red-line offsides too.

here's the rub: people need… Continue

11/8 game - goalies?

We avoided rain most of the day and got great games in last Saturday. Sharif, what happened? No show? We had to unretire Kreptul and put him in net. He did awesome but the thin gear earned him a few good bruises.

Who's in goal this week?

We need some fresh cash for new goalie gear. Suggested donation $20. Donate here on the site or at the game Saturday.

Game on!
