No. Although I have heard people saying they’d prefer Sundays rather than the current Saturday night slot.
Ryan,
Thanks for organising the league for us Kyle
” title=”Smiley” />Was nice to play and not have to do anything for once

Team photo and Estelle and Jane’s post game eating habits.
I also have a great photo of Jane from after we got back, but I’ve been banned from posting that one on the net

” title=”Sad” />Good game though. I enjoyed it much more than our previous game. Our star goalie Jamiee stopped heaps of shots, but unfortunately she was peppered with quite a few too! Good performance by her though and definitely the player of the season for the Bears IMHO.
Noticeable events during the game were, of course me scoring a goal
” title=”Smiley” /> Um, someone else scoring a goal for the Bears but I’m not sure who (Deb maybe?). Plus the amusing times I had to do complete turnarounds and skate back where I came from coz I had no one to pass to! Some amusingly long, but effective passes from behind our own goal line to Deb Handcock and Kara Ross must have looked amusing, those Johnnies guys have a habit of leaving giant holes for our players to wiggle through and if we managed to get enough sting on the puck and aim the little bugger onto our team mates tape then they were off on a nice breakaway past those wretched Johnnies boys 
” title=”Tongue” /> Not that we got any goals from it, but it did help us get the puck down their end on occasion. Deb and Kara are definitely the positional players on our team and made my job on defense a whole lot easier.Good passing by the other team was a problem for us, lots of passing coming up towards our net made defense a little awkward and caught us off guard a few times.
I notice the John McGlashan teams style of play changed somewhat since the first round robin game. The first time round I was being constantly hounded, often with 3-4 guys on me whenever I got the puck which made it really difficult to do anything with it. Last time was a little like that too, but this time they spread out and concentrated on us as a team instead of marking me like crazy. It gave me more room to do something with the puck instead of just dumping it, but it left their defense a lot more solid. I’m not sure which method of attack was best and I’m not sure if it was intentional, but it was definitely a noticeable change in tactics.
And what the heck was with pulling the goalie when you’re 11-1 up?
Ryan,
Neil Dudley played in goal.
Scores (I think) were 3-8 and 2-6 or something along those lines, both to the Queenstown Stars (called Queenstown Y on the schedule).
We had three full lines for the first game, but Mike Mitchell got injured and ended up refereeing the last game. Games were a bit messy on our part, not enough control of the puck and scampering around with our heads down. Their team seemed to have a lot better puck control than us which I was quite surprised at. They didn’t have a lot of speed, but they kept weaving around us a lot more, perhaps something to do with being used to more tight constrains within a smaller rink maybe?
Ryan,
We got beat anyway unfortunately but thanks for the support
” title=”Smiley” />It’s size large by the way.
Ryan,
Not sure, will check tonight.
Mark Hareb (Crash) is picking me up in three minutes time to go to Queenstown so can’t check now – 5:15am WTF??????Ryan,

I can view it fine both at the university via the student proxy and at home. There is some lag, but I expected that as I neither the student proxy or my home have high speed broad band. I assume with high speed broad band it should stream fine. Anyone with high speed broadband able to test it for me to see?

Ryan,
You aren’t messing with the balance of teams on the night then though Kyle, that’s the team recruiting their own casuals, quite a different kettle of fish IMO.
Ryan,

” title=”Smiley” /> I’d been trying to find out what that thing was called for ages.Ryan,
"rookie#19":6tzgf2n9 wrote:Although I agree with your idea of balancing the teams kyle, i dont think we should get into changing the teams too much on the night. To keep this league competitive we need to establish “teams”, that play together, as when you start mixing teams on the night, it does turn the league into social hockey, rather than one bunch of players battling all season to make the finals, with a goal at the end of it.[/quote:6tzgf2n9]Sounds like you’re on the same line of thought as myself there.
"rookie#19":6tzgf2n9 wrote:but my idea is that i shouldnt chase players, if they really want to play they will come.[/quote:6tzgf2n9]If they’re not organised enough to know when their next game is you probably don’t want them on your team anyway I reckon.
Ryan,
