Yeah. It’d be an interesting experiment anyway. Probably wouldn’t work very well from the stands on the side of the rink as they start at ground level and therefore wouldn’t have a great angle on a picture flat on the ice.
That’s a sweet video Ryan’s put up on the front page Tom.
They should show something like that on a projector before the players head out for the cadbury cup this year, or when the ice blacks play the moose. I wonder what the effect would be like if you could project down onto the ice from above.
DIHL registration forms were emailed out to everyone last night. Anyone who wants one but didn’t get one, please post here and tell me your email and I’ll send one asap.
Ryan will also hopefully have them up on the web site soon as soon as he finds some time.
Registration this Sunday 6pm, next Sunday 6pm at the ice rink, or Tuesday 13th March at the Bowler Tavern, 7:30.
B grades starts March 18th, so don’t muck around!
I presume we’ll be on the ice at least a little bit, so bring your ice hockey gear, though you’ll probably only needs skates and helmet.
Pen and paper and $50.
I can’t think of anything else.
Yup.
I’ve never actually noticed the control panel. The only reason I’ve logged in as administrator was to delete those spam posts.
That’s cool, I have no desire to run this thing. I’ll pass on anyone who I think would be useful to you.
Heh. You forgot to put at the top of that ‘Year 2020?’ as a title.
There were 13 peewees at practise on Tuesday, including my son (very exciting!). They’ll get some more registrations and some kiwihockey kids, so I suspect they’ll make it up to two teams. So they’ll be playing a semi-regular game Saturday 5:30.
Midgets I can’t imagine are any better, but they might be able to pull in some high school kids who aren’t playing for the Association. They’re playing a game Saturday 6:30.
Neither of those you could really call ‘grades’, so much as an intrasquad game. Like I said in my email, I can’t see any advantage in adding to the overhead, there’s no need for them to be a league at this stage.
Women are struggling to make 1 team. And if they took every woman playing hockey and put them out there for a game, they might squeeze up to two teams, but the difference between some of the beginners they’d have to throw on, and Zanzee and Megan etc. I’d be keen to see the women entering as a B grade team, and maybe an allowance for Zanzee to play down or something to help them out.
I presume by SNC you mean DIHL? C grade isn’t confirmed, but if we get 8 B teams we’ll go for it. Contact… worth exploring, but there’s issues we both know about.
It does remind me though to ask you. What do we need to give people to allow them access to the administrators forum? It used to be a password, but is it a button you push in their profile now?

All that would be needed I think would be a shield for the cooling tower. In theory the pucks may be able to go over the top of the cooling tower so that is possibly a problem I guess. Indoor cricket centers use netting to keep the balls in and they don’t seem to have any issues with that method and I’m assuming that hockey pucks would be about the same. The main problem with the nets I suspect will be people crashing into them as that would put quite a lot more force onto them than the puck would.[/quote:bedcpcic]
Yeah, but the use that indoor cricket netting gets, where a ball is hit against it a few times each game, compared to netting behind a hockey goal where someone is practising slapshots… And I don’t know how fast cricket balls get hit, but I’d presume hockey pucks are a fair bit faster, and they’re shaped more to damage netting.
Anyway, I guess your netting would only need to be as strong as the netting in a hockey goal. Those goal nets seem to stand up to plenty of shots.
The netting that the inline hockey club however put in their goals – I think it might have been fishing net stuff – that tore and got wrecked easily.
"Ryan":bedcpcic wrote:The other flip side of the coin … why use fundraising money when we can do it for free? I’d rather see something built immediately and upgraded later (presumably with fundraised money), atleast we can use it in the mean time.[/quote:bedcpcic]Well I guess if the eventual wall was to replace netting, you’d have gone to the effor t of buying and putting up nets, when they weren’t needed in the eventual finished unit.
I’m arguing for a bunch of things here, from the general rule of ‘better to see if it’s worth doing properly the first time rather than a hacked together job and then have to redo it properly later’. The whole ice rink was done that way – olympic size, professional boards and glass etc. Why shouldn’t the off-ice area go the same way? Should there be weights/gym area? What are the other needs of that area? Do they still store the Xmas show stuff up there?
There’s no clamouring for the players for it. Phil raised this almost a year ago and no one’s been pushing it until February this year.
Times:
Saturday 10 am – 4:30 pm
Sunday 9 am – 12 noonCost: $50 (includes a copy of the rulebook I believe).
As in ‘technically I advise’, but Ryan left me behind in web site design some time ago, as I haven’t done it for years, and he’s entered serious geek mode with it.
Now I just whine at him about it and keep him on track
” title=”Smiley” />There are also… y’know, laws to consider. Don’t you need a registered electrician to install lights, and guarantee that we won’t burn the stadium down? The city council might also need to approve the work, which, even if Graham was to help with the plans, would still cost… a few hundred dollars I’m guessing. And they might need to inspect it afterwards.
I’m no expert on these things, especially given that it’s a commercial and not a residential building.
I presume on your drawing where you have what looks like 4.99 cm, you mean 4.99 metres?
If it’s a shooting gallery, then no net is going to be an adequate replacement for a wall. Nets degrade, do so less obviously (ie, small holes that people might hit occasionally), and if there’s a few hundred slap shots going into it every day, then no net is going to last that long.
You should talk to Paul. I’d imagine he wouldn’t find it difficult to get a thousand dollars from somewhere to do the off ice area. Why do it on the cheap when fundraising and doing it properly won’t cost us any more?
