Sweet, thanks!

[/quote:32a00iow]If you think that’s bad, the two Dunedin midget teams, play each other once in Dunedin, and then the second time the midgets are in Dunedin they don’t play each other.
They do however have to travel to Alex to play each other, and then travel to Queenstown to play each other TWICE!
Given that the southern region is actually completely meaningless, and you don’t have to compete in it to go to nationals, if I was the midgets, I’d be thinking – we’ll play the home games, play the one tournament in Alex where we play two games against non-Dunedin teams, and then default the other three and ramp up our Midgets in-house league.
For the cost of ice time and travel and food to those three tournaments to play three games against Dunedin, and three against other teams – say $60 each tournament if there’s ride-sharing, you could play 18 house league games. Swapping 3 games against either Queenstown or Alex for an additional 15 games against the Dunedin team. That’s value, and would point out how silly the schedule is.
[/quote:32a00iow]Wow, that really sucks for the midgets.
As I’ve just pointed out to my team, if we were to play with the current schedule, our costs would skyrocket. Not only that, but a few of our team [b:32a00iow]cannot[/b:32a00iow] play at all.
It seems like a fantastic way to kill the SIHL, IMHO.Thanks Kyle, that’d be great. I don’t know who the individuals are who actually organise the SIHL (I think maybe Jackie is involved??), but I’d really appreciate those who do (such as you, Kyle) pushing for a return to last year’s format.
Honestly, I think that there will be quite a few people who will be totally unable to play in the SIHL with the current schedule.
That is most excellent!
Yeah, I’m a big fan of Don Ross too.
Drifting requires such good timing though, I find it really difficult to get it right.
I’m not involved with the organisation of hockey in the way that you guys are, and I don’t know who makes the calls about this sort of thing, but I’d love to know why they’ve moved to this new/old model rather than the 2007 model.
With that kind of travelling time required, it’s unlikely that I’ll be able to play in the SIHL, as every away game really screws me over for the week ahead, which is something I just can’t afford.
Is there any possibility of getting this changed? I imagine a lot of people will be quite unhappy about this.
Actually, I was trying to prevent hacks by encrypting the cookies. And then I broke the page <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/sad.gif" alt="

If people let me know, then I can make the call whether to nix training or not. I mean it’s not a lot to ask for.
[/quote:2b4h88a1]Yep, I totally see where you’re coming from there Ryan. It never even crossed my mind that my lack of attendance might inconvenience others. My bad, and I’ll be sure to let you know well in advance next time.
I know you and stef are giving up your own time to coach, and we do appreciate that.

Oh excellent!
