Was good to catch up last night, was wondering when maybe you wanted to organise a meeting to start some trainings, like off ice and a general team get together as you mentioned last night?
Coachs leaving the bench in the middle of the game,far from impressed and people wonder why supporters dont travel 3 hours to support. Would you do that just to see that carry on? I wouldnt. It was disapointing to see no coaching staff on the bench, but thanks to simon for stepping up. With no coaching staffon the bench it wasnt a good look at all, it really looked a weekend warriors out for a chip around instead of a national leauge team.
Hopefully we can sort this stuff before the next game
Hmmm yes, exactly right there team this event does have the potential to become very dangerous if the correct safety measures and procedures arent followed corretly
I have offered to become team co-ordinator, a main part fo this job would be looking in depth greatly at the skating safety issues in depth for the team and spectators alike. i have been involved with event mangement and production in the past focusing on safety aspects for the event and instigation of procedures and policys into the venue.
we have had a brief chat about safety for this team so training can begin.
partcipants must wear at all times while on the rinnk surface must have, wristguards, helmet, gloves, coveralls along with tight skates and have signed a liability disclaimer form before getting onto the ice.
there has also been talk of shows involving fire
participants in this must be wearing all of the above, however also inluding
flame retardent overalls As an electrician I have seen flame resistant barriers and flame resistant clothing catch on fire and burn quite happily. Flame resistant means it will be difficult to set on fire but it is possible, it also means it is likely to self-extinguish when the heat source is removed. Flame retardant is easier to set on fire compared to flame resistant, it should also self-extinguish without the heat source. Os whihc makes in this case the flame retardent overalls the better option for this
also people must have a balaclava style portection also made of flame retardent material for their facial area
along with that during the show there must be fire fighting equipment available for instant use with people trained in its use, the equipment must be rated to fight AS/NZS 1841 Fire Extinguisher Standards,
also we are expecting have on call first aid personal prefferably trained to have PHEC 9pre hospital emergency care) standard that can look after most things untill the professionals arrive
Anyway as you can see we have a somewhat extensive plan in place, anyone that wants to see the whole plan, please pm me and I’ll email it to you as a word attachment
So im taking it that your keen to be on this tea, blake? Perhaps we could have a extreme skating team demo on the ice before thunder games or possibly perhaps intermission obviously with time allowances, it would certainly be a crowd raiser
Has anybody heard anything more about this? I was meaning to ask kieth last night but didnt get the chance to talk…… I was meaning to look at it on my way home from central in the weekend but unfortunately didnt get a chance?
Has anyone though of adding burning hoops to the list of “extreme skating” events as im sure that would raise a crowd and do wonders for not only keiths ice but the sport aswellIm keen to see this actually get of the ground and support one of our club members, so im willing to stick my hand up to organise a team and become team co-ordinator
Can people please post back here if they are keen and some possible dates to go up and try it
