9/13 Game on!

More sunshine on the way this weekend! Guess who's goalie for some of the games? I am! A little advice: don't even bother with my glove side! Comment if you're in.

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!

Labour Day weekend game

Are there enough folks in town this weekend to have a game on Saturday? Or is everyone going to be squeezing in camping/hiking/travelling/beach-time/[insert summer activity here] on the 'last' weekend of summer?

Funds disbursed to Vic's family

Thanks everyone for contributing to the Vic memorial fund. I have the pleasure and honor to announce that we raised a total of $1720.

This letter and check were sent to Georginette and Daniel Cleofe today.

It won't bring him back but that's our way of remembering Vic and helping his family through this difficult period.

Deepest sympathy to Vic's friends… Continue

who's in tomorrow?

I'm in... Anyone else? Bring your sunscreen, I'm proposing shirts and skins for the 94' heat. Beers may be a good idea too :-)

Who Wants to Help Me Move on Sunday 8/31?

Tasha and I are moving from West Seattle to Ballard at the end of the month! We're well-organized, we pack well (!), and won't have a lot of loose shit flopping all over the place that's hard to carry. We only have a few items that require two people to carry. We have a big-ass box truck to use all day too.

We'll provide food and drink for anyone who can help. More details to those who can make it. Loading would start late morning ~11, and hopefully finish unloading late afternoon… Continue

Kid friendly?

Hey Bubbles,

I have no problem w/ kids coming along. My dog is a bit of a freak around kids cuz he doesn't understand them and I can't vouch for Peto's behavior either. Other than that, the kids should be fine.

Damn fine goal, Bubbles. Most definitely a high point of the tourny. Now we gotta figure out why the Tsunami resembles a raindrop when it hits the floor in tournament play.

Chuck :-)

Vancouver Tourney Recap

It was a humbling trip to the great white north for the Seattle Tsunami as we were completely outclassed in the C division. First off, thanks to Bubbles for all the leg work and organizing the trip-- it went very smoothly considering all the logistical mish-mash going on with people staying all over the place and coming at different times. Not to mention all the logistics with the rules and equipment.

Thursday night's game was proceeded by a moment of silence for Vic. Both teams… Continue

Post street hockey BBQ

Hey fellahs,

I'm thinking this is a good weekend for us to get our party on at my place after street hockey. First disclaimer is that I'm a bachelor and don't have a bunch of lawn furniture like the Peto's, a clean house like the Payettes and a full array of kitchen utensils and shit like the rest of you domesticated "Good Housekeeping" readers. So I just figure we say, I fire up the grill, you bring some beers and some meat to cook up. If your last name starts with A-J bring a… Continue

Giving rides to Vancouver

Hi All,

Just to let you all know that with the limited room in Melissa's car for bodies and equipment/gear, we can only take a maximum of three people (Melissa, me and Reiner) in Melissa's car.

Sorry, guys. Can someone out there give Andrew the Czech a ride up on Thursday to Vancouver??

Thanks,
Andrei

Sad news : Vic is no longer with us

If you don’t know already, Vic passed away last night. He was joining Carlo for pickup roller hockey and he suddenly collapsed. Carlo found out later that night that Vic passed away.

This is a sad day in the history of ssh.com. We were just starting to get to know Vic. Great guy, magic hands, a wall in net. He had my vote for MVP of Can v. USA battle. He was commenting on the blog not even 2 days ago. Last week as netminder, he robbed me blind a bunch of times!…

In-Line Hockey...wait do people still do that?

I seemed to gain a little interest at Saturday's game about this (Adam and Vic)...I go up to St. John's randomly during the week (normally from 8-10PM) and play inline hockey with a buddy of mine. We mainly just work on shoting/passing and an occasional one-on-one game. Anyway, we are planning on playing Wednesday (July 30th) around 8PM if anyone else is interested???
