I think we’re about 10,000 seats short for an NHL game.
And the half an acre of tv, radio, lighting etc etc that they require.
Peewees beat Gore 22-3, and Queenstown 15-7. Both good games from the kids, they played really well.
I presume the stand on the curling rink is temporary, the stand behind the benches is probably the permanent one (with the changing rooms underneath).
Yeah, they’re a 2nd tier Oilers affiliate – first tier is… springfield bears or something. Certainly their business operation is at a level where you wouldn’t want them getting pissed at you, even from the other side of the world.
I believe Ryan Wick got permission from someone to use the logo, but he’d be able to confirm. It’s not, as far as I’m aware, an original, but has been largely copied from another club.
Just to note, this is freaking insane.
If this goes ahead, we’re going to end up with the best facilities in… probably the southern hemisphere. Good sized permanent stand, new changing rooms, the entire entrance end of the building is going to be redone, we’ve already got a great rink. Small cost of missing a couple of weeks of hockey and having to play in a building site for a year. Sweet. It’ll up our pull for getting more big events like IIHF world champs events, internationals, nzihl finals etc, and put our rink and our club on a big international stage. It’ll make the new Awatea St stadium only the second best sports facility in Dunedin <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smiley.gif" alt="

Another game misconduct last night for fighting I understand.
Seriously people, this isn’t the Stanley Cup final, this is DIHL B grade. Keep the boxing off the ice.
Turning up to a disciplinary hearing near you.
It looks like they’ll melt the curling rink and put seats on it. If that’s the case, shouldn’t affect our hockey too much, except for the fact that we won’t be playing at all during that couple of weeks that the games are on.
I wasn’t aware that the bit out in front was planned for this year – I’ve always got the impression that it was a longer term plan. Maybe this has pushed it along? Graham?
The women lost to Iceland 5-1 Iceland goalie made 36/37 saves, NZ made 11/16.
They had a similar game to that last year against… Estonia I think? just couldn’t get the puck in the back of the net.
Yeah, it’s my understanding that Queenstown will get the hockey, which is a shame, but not too far to travel. Wonder how much the tickets would be.
Another win – 4-1 against Estonia. They play Iceland, the only other unbeaten team tomorrow, and if they win that, they just have to kick Turkey’s butt for the gold medal and promotion.

[/quote:gz6vp5su]Ah no, Ryan’s instructions actually:

[/quote:1gklhbwa]Since Chris can’t seem to follow instructions, and has followed up with another post about how crap it is, I’d definitely remove that last one. And maybe (if you haven’t already Ryan), write her a nice email saying sorry and that the person has been told to be nicer to other members of the ice hockey community.
