[/quote:2pgg1okt]Yip your stats are correct,
Just checked mine and see that the Devils have finsih top of the Table the last two years and have choked in the finals the last two years – oh and just for historys sake Stampede have won both finals away from Queenstown.
History just for fun – Devils finished 4th in 2005 and hang on 3rd in 2006

If so what improvements in his head are necessary?

Imports would be a good start, coach maybe? – one who doesn’t play Ice Hockey like Chess (which I think has been proved doesn’t work)
would be good to get STP and DTN together pre-season."vpatrol":1g5ufame wrote:The following game reports are unedited and uncensored. By no means are they official. Official game reports can be found on http://www.nzihl.com and only http://www.nzihl.com. Disclaimer over.

Thanks that would be great! And yes I was dropped as a baby.
I am not a player hater, I don’t think I said anything about playersAll it was, was an observation
No need to get all defensive, or are you just getting ready for the weekend

Of course, but who ever has allocated the ref’s for the games is just putting the ref’s and players under more pressure!
But the only time I will blame the ref’s are if they have a shocker, and in these games neither team can afford that.Surely it would make more sense to have the Auckland ref’s in Queenstown this weekend and the Cant’s in Auckland – In saying that not sure which option is worse.
In the end, it should be the best team who wins on the day(s), if that is the case I will be a happy Stampede supporter!

[/quote:1xng34f5]Think the way to get around this could be to have pre season games maybe a couple of weekends before the start of the season, we could use rinks that can accomodate the ice time and give some new referees the whistle with the current ‘top’ referees as linemen to assist.
If the players know what is going on then I think this would be a good iniation period
then get these guys on the lines in as may games as possible.Most of all the league needs support from all regions as has been said before we can bitch all we like about ref’s but we need to supply our own.
In saying that, it seems abit odd to have all Canterbury Officials in Queenstown for the two biggest games of the season.
Can anyone tell me if any official programmes are currently being run in NZ
Setting up the last round as a ripper! Stampede coming off a bye then Ice Blacks game
Then back in can’t wait.Look forward to hosting the Devils in Queenstown
Played the Devils 6 times at home with 3 wins and 3 losses
They may have played better but really two record scores in two nights is a bit over the top
as Vpatrol said people are more interested in their books than the game, that ain’t good! or maybe that just the Canterbury crowd?Actually that is the biggest loss or win depending on which team you support
in the 5 year history of the NZIHL!History is being made in 2009
