Yeah yeah, fair call. I guess they are still up there as far as being NZ’s ‘All Stars’ which is why they have been chosen. It is only speculation that it is an Ice Blacks Trial. Si’s not playing anyway now that it’s Sunday!
Here’s the low down:
The New Zealand Ice Hockey Federation is proud to announce the inaugural NZIHL All-Star Game. We are calling the game Skate Of Origin 2009! The game will be played on Sunday September 27th at 5:00pm at Paradice Botany in East Auckland.This contest will pit mate against mate, as players will represent the island they first learned how to the game of ice hockey. The game will be played by New Zealand Rep Team eligible players. The North Island Team will boast players from all five NZIHL Teams and will face the very best players to ever come out of the South Island.
This year will mark the very first NZIHL All-Star Game and will go down in the history books as yearly highlight.
The two teams will clash for the Glass Family Shield. A stunning silver plate is named after the Glass Family of the South Island with three generations of contributors and builders of the sport within New Zealand. Ben Glass is a founding member of the NZIHF and Patron of the SIHL. Graeme Glass is the Past President of the NZIHF and recently inducted Life Member. And of course there is recent Ice Blacks Captain, Simon Glass.
It is set to be a fast, hard hitting game and is the last chance to see NZIHL action in Auckland in 2009. Ticket will be sold at the door and will be $15 per adult and $10 per child under 16 years.
AND THE JERSEYS ARE AWESOME!

People like Hayden Argyle and Simon Wilson etc
[/quote:2gtzr60b]They are still eligible they just don’t choose to play.

Surely at the beginning of the season the NZIHL should’ve penciled in a booking for Saturday 5th September in every centre just in case that team was to be hosting the final!
We had a booking penciled in here and I’d be surprised if Botany didn’t have one also (we can all dream!).I think a Sunday final is a bit of a slap in the face but it won’t stop us going up for it, we’ll just have a 3 day weekend

He was well behaved anyway, no sock on his head this week."vpatrol":17bb7hrv wrote:http://www.nzihl.com, lo and behold, it’s called….an all star game! Thanks for your all star comments Emma though. You are one class act.

” title=”Wink” />Haha, either way it will be some game next weekend. Was the best hockey I’ve seen in ages here over the weekend. Was good to see some Dunedin boys there, presuming they were supporting Stampede??
Anyway, we’re trying to organise a supporters bus up on Sunday and of course to bring the cup back after the game
