Title: My hockey team (play-offs / championship) Post by: captain_nintendo on November 15, 2006, 07:18:15 AM So, the lasy few weeks we have had play-offs. Last night was the championship game. For those of you who dont know, I play roller hockey. I used to play ice many years ago, but roller is less expensive overall.
Last week we won our play-off game 9-2, and we had the championship game last night. We won 5-1 ;D I am the teams goalie and team captain, and must say that I really did not think we ever were going to lose. Anyhow, I figured I would throw my personal "sports" story out there for you all. ;) Title: Re: My hockey team (play-offs / championship) Post by: den68 on November 15, 2006, 08:47:52 AM nice job! it's fun to still get out and play some sports. what kind of surface do you guys skate on?
on a related note, I took a puck in the melon last night. still have a headache today. Title: Re: My hockey team (play-offs / championship) Post by: captain_nintendo on November 15, 2006, 09:38:41 AM The surface is called "sport court". It is kind of a high density plastic blend tile (or something like that)
Our team name has been "The Beers" for about 2 years now, but most of the players who came up with that name no longer play for us. Last season we added 3 Slovakian guys to our roster. I was thinking of changing the team name to "Slovakian Brew" or "The Internationals". We have 1 Canadain and 3 Slovakians on the team, along with 4 Americans.

No one around here plays hockey. No schools and no leagues. My friends and I use to try to get some games going in the early 90's when the home team was winning the Stanley Cup(Pittsburgh Penguins). We also went to a lot of Wheeling Thunderbirds(local ECHL team now called the Nailers) games. Unfortunately playing hockey never became very popular around here.

I live in Arizona, and we have plenty of rinks around here. (both ice and roller) Title: Re: My hockey team (play-offs / championship) Post by: UNFORGIVINGPAIN on November 15, 2006, 11:16:10 AM When I was stationed in Jacksonville, NC they had outdoor hockey rinks, but not around my home town (Steubenville, OH). We had to play in a driveway. It worked for us. Basketball is a big sport around here. I have been in a few tournaments but we never won 1st place, 2nd and 3rd out of about 20 teams.

What's a winning team without a little bit of Canuck magic onboard? ;) Title: Re: My hockey team (play-offs / championship) Post by: Tynstar on January 11, 2007, 12:07:40 PM The Canadian is the water/towel boy.
