Isn’t like $100 for the mouthguard, but only $5 for each extra ones since they already have the mold to make it from?

[/quote:3pyl1n40]Why do those with properly fitted mouthguards still sound like they’ve had a lobotomy?
"Tom":2x8t92uv wrote:they do restrict breathing and communication which probably makes them more dangerous than not wearing one
[/quote:2x8t92uv]I highly doubt that.
Having said that, I have absolutely no intention of wearing a mouthguard, they’re horrible.

AFAIK NZ was unique in enforcing mouth guards across the board.
Good rule change. It was never followed by players anyway.
I remember an SIHL game where half our bench were chewing gum and sticking it on our teeth in case the ref came to check if we had a mouth guard on. Far more likely to choke on chuddy than get knocked out :p

[/quote:wivbqqml]When did that happen?
The NZIHF wouldn’t even waiver on allowing women to compete in contact hockey, so I can’t imagine them allowing players to fight with effectively no punishment for it.
If anything they seem more intent on enforcing more rules, not less rules, ie: compulsory mouth guards and visors.

You only won by a single point over the Penguins after all. Personally I’m not a big fan of “dumbing down” open competitions in that way. If you can field a strong team, you should IMO. It’s up to everyone else to catch up. The idea is to win after all
” title=”Tongue” />A and B-grades would have made sense, but I suspect they decided they’d do that with eight teams, not six. For the future, it may be better to split it at six if it’s looking like there is a big differential like that. It would have been fairly obvious from the rosters/talking to the teams what level they were at.
Lol, well I do consider Keith a friend already. He just seems to be talking in riddles at the moment that’s all
” title=”Tongue” />I’m all for new ideas on how to improve things, I’m never shy in telling people when they’ve screwed up, I just don’t see any problems this time around.
The only major change I see this year is that no one stepped forward to form an individuals team, but I don’t see how that’s the organisers fault. That’s more of a criticism of the hockey community as a whole, which includes those doing the criticising.

"keith":6pafeaf6 wrote:the only thing made clear was the date of the competition.
[/quote:6pafeaf6]And how to enter.
"keith":6pafeaf6 wrote:Fact it was way better in the last years, why change the format ,[/quote:6pafeaf6]Other than the lack of posters what specifically has changed? I don’t see any difference from other years except that it was little more obvious how to go about entering and I think we were given a more notice than in previous years.
"keith":6pafeaf6 wrote:also it show by the lack of outside Dunedin teams this year[/quote:6pafeaf6]There were more outside teams this year than any other year apart from the first.

[/quote:1f0bvut4]But what has been said that would help? What specifically should be changed?
Putting up a notice asking for players is totally pointless if you already have enough.
Some of you wanted posters put up advertising it, but who would have entered a team that wasn’t already aware of it? You can put as many posters up as you want, but I’d have thought all the people who are organised enough to enter a team would be likely to have seen the existing advertising anyway (I could be wrong though).
"keith":2s2p6f5q wrote:Right on Rhys we could not find out what was happening.[/quote:2s2p6f5q]What specifically didn’t you know about? It was all posted on the website. I posted the link to the information back when you asked.
"keith":2s2p6f5q wrote:But it is all very well saying about just grab a few guys /girls and make a team.
Simple as just jumping out a plane without a parachute[/quote:2s2p6f5q]Exactly. Hence the event organisers are presumably quite thankful that so many people stepped forward and took over that job for them this year.
"keith":2s2p6f5q wrote:Maybe next time PUT a notice on the notice board and fill your name out under the team you think wants you. aT LEAST we all get a chance to play in the competition.
[/quote:2s2p6f5q]That’s kinda pointless if you know which players you want on your team already. I’d only resort to that if I was desperate for players, which presumably none of the teams were since there were so many players who didn’t compete.
SK8 2 : Jagr Bombs 17
Penguins vs Jagr Bombs game looked pretty good. Players were quite tired though.
