White 4 Black 2

This weeks friday nite matchup was held back in Team Whites barn at the North Delta Rec. Center after playing the week before playing in T. Blacks rink at the Newton Wave Pool. That match up ended in a 2-2 tie so nothing was resolved until this week as T. Black got off to their usual 2-0 games lead thinking they got team white where they want them and boost their confidence up. Captain Sharny then called a time-out to get the T. Black troops on the same page as team white stormed back after winning some close games and then blowing them out in the last game to make it a 4 to 2 games series win. The young guns line consisting of Bassi, Pipes, and Junior were on fire in this game as they forchecked hard and scored the big goals that team white needed to win. "Bassi played unbelievable tonight, he was everywhere... he even came back on D to help out," said team captain Sharny,..."i'm proud of my team tonight they showed that resiliance and the capability to come back"... once again also the team white Defence was stellar as they shut down the team black scoring chances after the first two games..."it's certainly frustrating"..said team black captain Smitter.." you cant do nothing once you get in to their zone they're keeping us to the outside and bobby luu is stopping everything that comes his way. we're going to have to try something different thats for sure." Team Black once again showed frustration which was inspiring for team white to see especially assistant captain Billy Virk who was drilled by Bassi in the crease and was never the same again for the rest of the night.. When asked about the incident Virk quickly refused to answer any more questions and was seen leaving the building shortly after slamming back a 26er of bacardi. 3 ssions remain so who ever wins the two out of the 3 sessions wins the championship for the year.

Friday Nite is Back - Tomorrow

Considering everything that happened, I know this is short notice but we managed to get another facility for this week. Hockey is back on for tomorrow the 23rd at 11PM at Newton Arena. The address is 7120 136B Street. It's right behind the Newton Wave Pool on 72nd Avenue just off of King George Hwy.

Please reply to confirm if you will be playing so we know how many players we have.

Thanks,
Management

Friday Night Hockey - Cancelled

After repeated warnings, and the complete disregard shown by our group towards these warnings, we have been officially kicked out of Delta Rec Center and as a result, Friday Nite Hockey has been CANCELLED until further notice.

The Delta Rec Center Staff called an emergency meeting with their senior staff and superintendent to deal with 10 official complaints filed against our group. After the meeting, we received a call, stating that the superintendent ordered that our credit card be removed from their records and we are no longer welcome to use their facility. Messages left by our commissioner for the superintendent have not been returned.

Due to certain individuals uncontrollable urge to smoke weed/cigarettes before or after games in the dressing room and/or outside the premises, in an effort to boost performance (which by the way was totally unnoticeable) an entire year of building a reputation and strong rapport with the Delta staff, satyanaas kar ke rakhta!! As a result, Commissioner BAD ASS being the public spokesperson for the league, has suffered major embarrassment and is now left with the objectionable task of wiping shit off his face.

We will once again try to resume hockey operations at another facility starting next week, March 2nd, but can't guarantee anything yet. From now on, please inject your steroids, smoke your weed/crack, whatever you feel you need to do at home before you arrive at the rink. Thanks for your cooperation.

For those of you still thinking that this is a joke, trust me it isn't. There is definitely NO HOCKEY THIS WEEK!

Thanks

Management

White 4 Black 2

Friday Nite Hockey picked up a notch this friday as good clean hockey was on display at the North Delta Center between Team White and Team Black. Black got off to a 2 to 0 games lead before T.White captain Sharny Kaila called a timely time out and got his troops on the right page. Assistant captain Ryan" i'm back" Bhala had this to say during that time out..."come on guys what f**k are we doing out there everyone take a man and stick with em... hey bassi get out there and do somethin son you and junior are our young guns...score some f***ing goals." After this inspiring time out T. White came out firing and went on to win the next 4 games, disposing of T. Black. T. White got an all around effort from their players...especially from their defensive core which consisted of Harry, Sonny, myself, and Charlie. Bassi, Pipes,Junior and team captain Sharny all scored big goals when needed and helped out the D as well for an all around effort from T. White. Goaltender Bobby"Roberto Luongo" Sidhu played lites out as well making save after save... You can expect the same type of effort from Team White next Friday nite as well.

Just a follow up to Sharny's post.

This will definitely be the last week to get your money in. You pay, you play. Simple as that. Most people paid up last week but there are still a few who need to get their money in. You know who you are. (Except for the couple guys that I spoke to who had the money but due to extenuating circumstances they weren't there last week) I don't want to hear any more excuses. This isn't kindergarten where we have to chase you around for you to pay up. You will be turned back at the door this week if your money isn't in. Even if we are short players doesn't mean you will be allowed to play. We will play 4 on 4 or 3 on 3 if we have to to make a point and the remainder of the year will be canceled. I don't want to be the bad guy, but enough is enough and everyone has has had plenty of warnings.

There is enough work involved to organize everything without the extra headache of chasing grown men for $10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From looking at the history of attendance since the inception of Friday Nite Hockey, the majority of people have been there about 90 percent of the time. For this reason, the business about not knowing if you can commit or not will not fly. Get your money in now to reserve your spot or you will be on the spare list at best and at worst you will be contributing to the cancellation of Friday Nite Hockey. Usually when you join a skating or swimming class you pay for all the lessons upfront. Whether you attend the class is up to you but you don't get any money back! Simple as that.

Also if you want Friday Nite Hockey to continue next year, It will be an upfront charge of approximately $240. (Based on Oct - Mar at $40/month). No exceptions!! So for those that have money problems I suggest you start saving now. As of April 1st, Buy a piggy bank and start depositing $40/month or $10/week or $1.43/day and just like that come Oct 1st you will have enough money to pay for the entire season.

After trying the honor system without any success, it's sad to see things come to a point where someone has to have a pen and paper to track payment each week but I guess it is what it is.

Thanks for your cooperation. See you Friday.

Public Address from Sharny

First off, we would like to thank everyone who has paid up in full for the rest of the year.

Secondly, we would like to address some concerns raised over the new "pay in full" rule (ie. players not sure if they can commit every week or players on shift work etc.)

We don't want to put anybody in a difficult position and we understand the issues that have been raised, but I don't think everyone is understanding the reasoning behind the new rule. It's pretty simple:

Ice Cost = $202/night: Regardless of how many players show up.

Unless someone else wants to volunteer to put their credit card on the line and hope that 20 guys show up on every night just to break even we have no other choice but to require everyone to pay up front.

So again, if you cannot commit then you are welcome to pay and play on a weekly basis but you cannot just show up when you feel like. You will have to e-mail myself a day or two in advance and if we are short players for that week you are most welcome to come out.

For those of you that were not there last week, you will not be charged for it but the line has to be drawn somewhere. It will be $70 for the rest of the year (7 ice times) whether you can make it this week or not.

Committee

ps. Let's leave the lumber at home and play some "hockey" this week.

Bill, you know you were two feet offside on Ohlund's goal. It was a nice goal so I let it go!!
