I presume we’ll be on the ice at least a little bit, so bring your ice hockey gear, though you’ll probably only needs skates and helmet.[/quote:1jh0u05t]

I was talking to people last night about this.

I’d now suggest bringing all your hockey gear. The reasoning is, that there will be some on-ice practise of refereeing – everyone will get a go at refereeing and lining. Most likely it will be a mock up game with people going in and out of the teams and jumping into refereeing for 5 minutes and then back into the game. So if you’re not practising being a referee, you’re being the hockey players. There’s also face-off practise, which presumably involves two players and one referee, switching around.

So bring all your gear, you might get a bit of hockey.

(My first question would be, how many rules get broken in 5 minutes of hockey, and should we go out of our way to break rules. The old “what do you mean we can’t have eight people on the ice at once ref? I didn’t trip him, he viciously attacked my stick with his feet!”).
