    Let’s also point out that if the Dunedin team ahd beaten the IBs, there would be something drastically wrong with the IB selection process.

    That would be Vegetius in De Re Militari, probably the principle work of ancient warfare. His seven principles of war have been applied by virtually every army commander in recorded history.

    Interestingly, this quote originates from a short chapter entitled “Preparations for General Engagement” (at least, that’s my best translation of the latin!), most of which is directly applicable to ice hockey.

    Personally I thought you guys were incredible. To hold off the national team like that was a powerful achievement!

    erm, no, steam is around 100C (at 1 atmosphere of pressure)

    Umm, kyle, don’t be so ridiculous.

    Clearly what Michael meant was that he had (in somewhat novel fashion) utilised his stove element as a method of contacting Graham.

    Duh

    Sorry, just to get things clear, I turn up this thursday at 7 and we all practice together until the numbers are such that the practices can be split into the different grades?

    Also, I know I have to pay some $$ soon, but how much and to whom? $175 for the first half of the year was what I was told. Am I supposed to have paid this already?

    James and Stephen do a good job, so I hear, but I’ve had my skates sharpened at the rink a few times and at SK8 a few more, and there’s no question that Ryan and Stefan do a superior job.

    It’s not often that I find myself in agreement with you Wicky, but I’m 100% with you on this one.

    Leave mine private thanks Ryan. I agree with Wick and Stiff, but it’s not my fight, and I cause enough waves of my own <img decoding=” title=”Wink” />

    Actually, the NZBoRA may (and probably does) apply to the rink in certain circumstances.

    Generally, you’re right, and Neil can ban people for whatever reason he wants basically, so long as he’s not discriminating on the basis of race, age etc etc

    However, because the DIHA is a stakeholder in the rink, banning a DIHA member from the ice during DIHA-approved trainings, competitions etc probably doesn’t fly.

    At the end of the day, if Neil’s skate sharpening service was any good, there’d be no room in the market for a competitor. It’s basically like Telecom keeping the copper loop bundled in order to force uncompetitive services down everybody’s throats.

    Whoa, no WAY can Neil tell you what business you can/can’t set up.

    He can prevent you from advertising in the rink, unless he is over-ruled by the rink’s owners (or a majority thereof).

    However I think that if he were to ban you from rink for that reason, the DIHA would be virtually obliged to over-rule him by virtue of your membership. Whetehr or not that’s actually the case depends on the constitution.

    There is a possibility that Neil might also be breaking the law by threatening to ban a DIHA member from the rink unless he ceases competition. It’s an outside chance, but given the relationships involved I would imagine that Neil is engaging in unfair business practices.

    At the very least, his response is improper. IMHO, the DIHA should be seriously concerned by this letter.

    Ryan, you should definitely take this to the committee.

    Erm, by that do you mean you want to play in the SNC grade or the premier grade?

    As I understand it, and I may be wrong, teams enter into a grade (pewees, midgets, juniors, SNC and prems), none of which is an “A Grade”.

    If you mean you’d like to play in a team composed of A-Grade DIHL players, then I think you need to organise that yourselves, though again I could be wrong.

    Ryan? Kyle?

    EDIT: P.S. I’m fairly sure the Beasts are entering as a team, but that’s not absolutely certain yet. Mark Hareb is our manager, as usual.

    Perfect.

    Give me a text when you’re free, as it looks like we have quite a bit to discuss

    Nah, the only approval you need to do chalking is to go and buy some chalk.

    I’ll compose a wee email to Joyce tonight then.

    Does anyone here know of any design students / seriously arty people who play hockey and might be willing to design a poster for me to put up?
