Just wanted to say you Dunedin guys did a really good job job of making us Canterbury boys feel welcome. The weekend went pretty well I thought, the reffing was a bit questionable at times but that said I am used to Christchurch reffing so my views of good officiating are pretty much out the window.

Heard a couple people say that there was “No point in a team like theirs coming here to kick the shit out of other teams” (About my team, Jagr Bombs).

Firstly, coming from Christchurch we had no idea what the competition was going to be like until we arrived at the rink on Saturday (apart from the Penguins because I had spoken to people on the team), so the idea of us coming to just win by 20 goals is quite far fetched.

Secondly, I thought my team showed a lot of character playing the lesser skilled teams, we never skated them into the ground or even had the intention of killing anyone. If anyone saw the Jagr Bombs vs. Rangers game you will know what I ment. It was probably the highlight of the weekend seeing some of the guys who aren’t too skilled score some nice goals against a good goalie and you could tell they appreciated the friendly atmosphere of the game.

One thing I think would be a lot better for next time is if you broke up the Tekapo, Jagr Bombs and Penguins teams from Dunedin Women, Rangers and SK8 and had a few round robin games. This way everyone would be playing against similar skill and there would be no 15 goal deficits. Not quite sure how it would work exactly but it’s food for thought.

Not even going to go into the Tekapo team..

The only thing I think was complete and utter bullshit about the whole weekend was Tom Wilson. I waited outside the Penguins locker room for 45 minutes to get an autograph and he ignored me. The nerve of this guy. Just so you know Tom, the posters are coming off my wall, and I will NOT be buying your jersey when you make it into the show.

Overall a great weekend of hockey with great people (bar Tekapo). Would definitely come back next year.

I was just joking Kyle you don’t need to nominate me.

Here it is guys. The blue ones are North and the whites are South.
