Next week we had the impression that IBs were playing Turkey in a pre-tournament friendly, this is also not happening (the club night schedule is incorrect). Turkey have apparently not yet confirmed their arrival, but most teams will only be here a day or two in advance of the tournament.

I hear the mezzanine was designed to look like your head. Normally I wouldn’t be creeped out but the seating is inside some shaggy looking thing that sorta looks like your beard. You have to cling to it as opposed to sit in it. Kinda like food caught in it. I think its weird but it is Otago after all!Didn’t know the man from chocolate land was there yet. Don’t care anyways, I still want to play!!! Does he have a Thunder t-shirt? He’s not Thunder yet and I’m not Red Devils yet…gulp! I’m wearing my t-shirt now. On a side note, I really want a Paavo t-shirt now. One where he grins and points to himself and utters the word…almost like its whispered on the wind….”Paavo”!!!

[/quote:2pfw1urh]Since Rick is an ice black, he wouldn’t play. Since Jeff is gone, he wouldn’t play. That leaves Toby and I as the remaining Thunder players unless new trials have occured…which I’m sure have not. Is a new goalie in town? Also, I have spoken to Jackie not too long ago. Her email frequency is on par with the amoount of times Jesus has emailed me back so I’m asking forum lurkers for info

So no concrete info then on any games?! I would like to play the Mongols if it happens
"Azzy77":1zumfat4 wrote:Oh thats right in Jeffs email….
I am just speculating here, but if anyone was going to change their name perhaps Albrury to Tekapo????Pure guess
[/quote:1zumfat4]I was curious who Jeff was referring to indeed. Maybe the Dunedin Paavos NZIHL team. I’d buy that t-shirt.
"Blackie Ducks Forever":2ojope0o wrote:look if your so upset about how much its going to cost with fees then take the club out of the pic. book some ice time from the rink set up a reg night get the players in for a price that you thinks fair and run the thing your self. its the only way to get the cost down. but remeber if you do that you cant you any club stuff gear etc..
[/quote:2ojope0o]So instead of instituting change from within as being discussed here, all unhappy members should start up a side operation and side-step DIHA completely? Well that would never ever create problems
” title=”Wink” />. I’m sure the DIHA is overflowing with revenue anyway so the loss of these players would be a drop in the bucket. I’m not thrilled with a few things in the NZIHL as well, anyone want to start a trans-tasman league with me?"Kyle":3oi7bxg7 wrote:I think there’s a rule about goalies not getting a vote.

Or maybe while the meeting is going on, everyone else will get to throw hard things at the goalies so they feel at home. We’ll see.
[/quote:3oi7bxg7]You would still miss us and the “net” and fall over in the process so us goalies would continue laughing while you figure out how to fix the holes in the walls you made in the warm room. Meeting ajourned

"Ryan":1gxq9y2i wrote:I agree that those wanting to change things should go to the AGM. But they also need discussed before hand, which is what is being done here. The AGM is for voting on the final setup, not to have a huge debate (I assume) over the merits of the various options available.[/quote:1gxq9y2i]
I agree with that. The AGM should be the final vote on previously approved/discussed options. How that happens is also up for discussion. It takes a few days for me to marinade an issue in my head so the initial pissed off or disinterested feeling wears off. Knowing what the options are and arguments for and against prior would aid the process greatly IMO. I probably won’t be at the AGM next year so who really cares what I say though.

It’s easy to slash/trip a player who skates by you at speed. Their fall is that much more spectacular!!!
I can’t see it but Stefan was warned not to personally advertise anymore so it may have been taken down since then.

[/quote:xyavq94l]Wait a second…..some of my school work from primary school had stickers placed on it by my teacher that said “all-star”. They were clearly paid professionals and could be counted as credible judgers of skill. I AM ALL-STAR (but I secretly wished I was a pro-star….that was a great cartoon and breakfast cereal)
