The planning weekend set in place a 7 game premiere series which was timetabled to start towards the end of March. That hasn’t been finalised yet, but that would probably be a good place to start.
Someone else would know more about what’s happening with Thunder – practises, trials etc.
Man, Osgood had a shocker of a weekend. He was pretty bad in the young guns game, and then the first period of the big kids game he didn’t get any better. Took a while for the West to figure out playing defense without checking however.
My play of the weekend was the replay they showed of a kid from between periods in an Ottawa Dallas game taking a penalty shot. He got the puck up on his stick, spun around and backhanded it into the net. Was better than anything that the NHL players put on in the skills competition, and the kid was only 9 years old. Betcha there’s some scouts checking him out.
A few weeks ago I was on holiday and got a message on my cell from a reporter at the Dominion Post who was looking for Steve Jackson to comment on some crazy kayaking thing that some people were doing.
This morning I got a call from a reporter at a radio station in Auckland who was trying to find out how to get hold of the under-20 team management or coach. To which I replied “umm, no idea”.
Apparently I’ve become the default contact person for all things ice hockey.
Yeah, if you got a blank screen, go find a bunch of codecs and install them.
It doesn’t give an error message or anything, which isn’t particularly useful, but ‘nothing’ typically means a codec problem.
Just as another note, the NZ U20 Team beat hosts Serbia yesterday, 5-4, and South Africa this morning 7-3. Good job. They’ll now be promoted up to Division II.
It’s all looking up for NZ ice hockey at present.

It would almost be pointless if the only other team are the Snipers (one would have to be optimistic to think they will be beaten). !0 keen players will do it though. I’ve talked to Stefan a while back and he liked the idea. Just trying to suss out further interest.
[/quote:2mxnws6r]We got close-ish to Snipers a few years ago. Lost 9-5 I think? We had half the team full of very talented North Americans, and the other half, us less than talented mere mortals. Two or three better players, or a good goalie, and we probably could have run them real close. I presume they’re not the force they used to be either – seem to be struggling at nationals.
Stefan is keen to have a team.
There’s the players down here – I could think of half-a-dozen off the top of my head. The problem is traveling up to Nelson… in 2007 you would have to go up there twice, it’s probably not yet decided how many tournaments for 2008.
But, definitely talk to Stefan, he was talking about this end of last year.
Congrats to James who made the cut for the 2008 squad.

Hi Nick,
I can definitely give you a ride this Sunday, not sure about future weeks.
Msg me on here with your address etc if you want me to come get you.

I understand there’s supposed to be a couple of international (Australian?) teams coming, so it’ll be good ice hockey to watch, as long as you can ignore all the walking sticks and mobility scooters
” title=”Wink” />Titles need some work too. The main forum page comes up with ‘My Community’, and these ones just have the topic name. Maybe needs the club name or something?
Nope that doesn’t do it.
It can’t be a caching issue. I’ve never had the forum with only three boards, so there’s no cache with that setup.
Yeah, those are sponsor’s adverts, which are a bit different. I guess one question is, how much control do you have over what adverts appear.
A ‘technically’ issue. A bunch of that material was ‘borrowed’ from elsewhere, and making a small income off it probably is more likely to annoy the original copyright holder. But I’d be surprised if they ever found it.

[/quote:3p9bv2op]Good to have that back. When I go to the main page it acts like I’m logged in – shows all the forums I have access to. When I go to the forum main page, it just shows the three general ones. A bug?
