Had to walk a couple miles in a snowstorm to pick them up from the parts store though :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MThockeydad 469 Report post Posted June 5, 2015 This is the first week I've not played hockey since last November. I'm bummed. It's gonna be a long 90 days. Brother, I just came in to post the same thing...but I missed 2 of the last 4 weeks for my river trip. Sunday was my last day on skates at the Missoula tourney. My gear is washed and dry and packed away, and it dawned on me that I still wish I was playing. COME ON SEPTEMBER 2nd!! I posted a pic of our "Not So Elite" team in the "Pics of you playing hockey" thread. Amy H said you improved a lot just during CoRec. :) C league is not going to be that fast, but getting your brain working "faster" in those faster games really helps when you return to your "regular" league.

That's high praise indeed coming from Amy! And I can't agree more regarding skating with faster players. It really makes a guy keep his head up if nothing else!

We play three seasons... fall, winter and summer. Lasts all year. Maybe a few weeks off in between seasons at most. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Caihlen 67 Report post Posted June 7, 2015 The city can't seem to get their priorities in order to keep the rink open all year long. It closes the beginning of June and opens in September. To the loud complaints of all the users I might add....... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haggerty 144 Report post Posted June 8, 2015 Kyrie got hurt, out for the series. That means that for the Cleveland curse to be broken it comes down to the Lebron, the chosen one.Even with the win last night, I have no Idea how LeBron will be able to keep up averaging a triple double the rest of the finals. For a basketball player he plays a physical game, he doesn't play a Curry or Jordan type shooting/finesse game. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BenderHockey 127 Report post Posted June 8, 2015 Filled in for our Goalie last night, let up a nine spot. Then he says he can't/doesn't want to play tonight, a playoff game. Looks like I have to step in again. Hope I got rid of the rust last night. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MThockeydad 469 Report post Posted June 8, 2015 The city can't seem to get their priorities in order to keep the rink open all year long. It closes the beginning of June and opens in September. To the loud complaints of all the users I might add....... The city finds the funds to pay for a free public beach and numerous parks that are all free to users (and a cost to taxpayers), but doesn't want to manage an ice rink that could operate at net zero. They have made a valid point that the current refrigeration system isn't efficient for making ice in July and August, yet resist the efforts of user groups to upgrade the refrigeration system and install a low-e ceiling insulation system. Figure skating parents are willing to stroke some BIG checks--and unlike some rinks, figure skating and hockey groups get along very well....it's the curlers who think they should bump youth hockey 7-9pm ice times so 8 of them can use the entire rink. Hockey pays for itself, adult hockey tournaments were a profit center, but they stopped actively managing adult hockey...when concessions were a loser. Now adult hockey operates on its own (and in the black), the city cut back on concessions...and now they want to increase ice time costs by 45% because they're still losing money. Well, duh, you gave up all that windfall tourney income. The indoor facility was built with user group funds, so there's no loan to pay off, only utilities and labor...the mechanical system is a city baby.

I cannot stand wearing a cage but it's a necessary evil lolI don't think it will be terrible once I get a lighter cage with flat bars. Still rough though. Got nothing but stares and puzzled looks today. Didn't your parents tell you it's rude to stare?!?!? ;-) Edited June 9, 2015 by kovalchuk71 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
