July 26th game?

Eh, I've been awol the past month and am itching to play. Sure I'll be huffing and puffing, but it'll be worth it. Who's in town this weekend and is up for playing (and allowing me a soft goal or two)?

Finalizing Roster.

Hi Gents,

Sorry I haven't been around. The combination of car trouble and my body feeling good has kept me away from the games the last couple of weeks.

Here is the current roster. I am going off the top of my head, but believe I have everyone. This leaves us a few short unless you guys have been training your asses off. If by chance I missed you, I… Continue

Volunteer Work Party

Hey everybody, last saturday someone from the church stopped by while we were playing hockey to talk to us about the use of the parking lot. Basically he pointed out they have been turning a blind eye to our board/goal storage, and the games in general, and he was asking if we would be willing to help them with some general cleanup around the buildings where we store our stuff.

I realize philanthropy/volunteerism isn't the strong suit of our group (unless you count putting strippers… Continue

Saturday 7/12 Hockey - Margarita Class at Reiner's BBQ?

Game on! Let us know if you're playing this weekend. If current trend of low numbers continues, we'll play at church; not to mention we only have one set of 'boards' to work with. Should we even bother with the school while we only have one set of boards?

Getting Mrashed on Targaritas 101: Also, at Reiner's BBQ I might set up a booth to explore the ambitious and varied world of margarita making. Join me in comparing and contrasting recipes and varieties of tequila, orange… Continue

Vancouver Tournament: Hotel Update

Room reservations had to be in by July 10th, and since I did not hear from anyone about wanting to do the reservations elsewhere, I reserved 6 total rooms.

The 6 rooms will allow for double/triple/quad occupancy, and obviously will be enough to house the current roster, since I believe we are at 15-18 players depending on Marshy etc...

We can figure out the rooming situations over the next week or so.

7/5/2008 Game - you in?

Good turnout last week given the heat and car show traffic. Played skins and shirts. Scott showed up for half hour of set up and 10 mins of play. That's dedication!

I've got no plans this 4th weekend. Anybody else want to play Saturday? Say so in the comments so we can gauge turnout.

Happy belated Canada day!

Saturday the 28th Game????

This was mentioned in a previous post, but, looks like this weekend (the 28th) Greenwood Ave. is going to be a mess, and getting to (if not playing at) St John's Church/Greenwood Elementary will be dicey...

For 15 years the Greenwood Classic Car and Rod Show has attracted more than 20,000 visitors to Greenwood Avenue every summer; please join us for the big 16th year on June 28, 2008. Seattle’s biggest showcase of cars across the Northwest, more than 500 cars will line the streets… Continue

USA v. Canada Recap 2008

Okay, I suppose the Canadian boys are just being polite and not rubbing it in so I'll wade in and take a stab.

(tongue planted firmly in cheek)

It was a beautiful June day and Team USA-- including several recruits from Olympia-- arrived early and industriously began setting up the rink. Boards, goals, and the new WhiteTrashGhetto netting were all set up and the anticipation was building. A strong showing of players were warming up, stretching, taking some shots on net as… Continue

Eye Protection

Are we lucky or what? In general, I think we're pretty conscious of our level of intensity, our desire of competitive fun, and our goal of no injuries with a minimal amount of physical contact. I think our level of play and physicality has increased these last several months. It's been great. A black eye here. Some broken ribs there. That's the way it goes.

I was looking over some old photos of the Las Vegas tourney and saw Werbicki wearing a visor. It got me thinking: how many close… Continue

Please verify: Tyee High School?!?!?!?!

Does anyone live close or frequent the area around Tyee high school?

I was told today that there is a street hockey rink with boards etc near or on its campus.

A little further than the jaunt to Greenlake, but thought I'd put it out there.

Canada vs USA game and BBQ

Start time will be noon on Saturday. If we get rain, we'll head to St. Andrews as usual. I'll advise on Thursday what the situation will be. Remember to bring a folding chair if the BBQ is on. Don't forget the side dish for the BBQ and $10 if you haven't paid me yet for the other stuff (beer). I know who has paid. Not sure yet on how we'll run the game. Be on time to help set up and pick squads if needed. See ya there.

Where's Marshy?

Tons of rumors circulating but apparently he's back in Marquette, MI just in time for the skeeter season. Dude, if you're still reading this website, the US team needs ya on the first line. With no firepower up front, we'll have to mercy their ass all day. Think NJ-Tsunami, first blood in Vegas. What happened to you anyway? Ran out of bail money? Skipping out on a warrant? Anybody else want to speculate?

Battle of Washington recap/pictures

First off, I want to thank the guys in Washington for coming up to our fair city and play. I hope this is a beginning of a friendly WA rivalry.

To the best of my recollections (many beers consumed since), we played 3 games against Olympia and the score was tight (especially in game 2 where the final score was 5-4) but ultimately Seattle Street Hockey prevailed. We counted 15 people on the bench on our side at some point! We just had too many weapons. With a full bench Olympia side,… Continue
