I was talking to Joe who was down at the rink taking photos of the friendship games with a camera that looked more like a telescope. (Joe’s been coming on Monday night, he wears a green top).
Anyway, he’s a professional photographer. One thing that we’re missing is good quality, well-taken photos of players doing hockey (with all respect to Ryan and others who have taken DIHL photos for the past few years). He said he’d be happy to take some photos we could use for the website, posters, promotional material etc.

I’m presuming that anything on before 8pm isn’t on. So no dihl, no beginners, no peewees, midgets, juniors, or women.
I’m presuming that the prems thing tonight is on, and that our time on Monday 9pm is on. I really don’t know though. I was just down there at the rink, I should have checked to see if the ice was booked.
Normal schedule resumes Wednesday next week I think.

I dont mind if they forgot me as long as I get to play for them on the 22nd Im sweet..Hockey hockey hockey thats what matters.[/quote:263b157g]Yeah sorry. B grade is full. You’ll have to play A grade. Should have got your form in before… well before the competition started.
And world peace matters. Hockey is second at best.
I suspect that maybe what you’re hearing about up there is the interpretation stuff that came out last year – mostly to do with interference, hooking, holding etc. Referees are being told to be a lot stronger on calling these and to let talented players have the opportunity to show off their talents, rather than being slowed down by people deliberately getting in their way and slowing them down.
I don’t think there’s a lot of ‘NEW’ rules in the rulebook. Certainly not major ones that would have a major effect on the ice. Maybe they’re just calling them more.
if it’s just a stats management, then it should track goals, assists, games, tournaments/competitions, penalty minutes, penalty types, shots and saves. players should be able to be independent from their numbers between games, and yet retain their stats. Players should be able to be in multiple teams, multiple grades, and multiple competitions.
It should track individual career stats, game stats, and competition stats, and then the same for team stats. It would need to deal with overtime and penalty shootout situations.
If you really wanted to go for broke and make it a full tournament management software, then it should track names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, grades (A or
, grade (the number we use to determine what grade a person can play in). It should track teams played in and tournaments. It should keep track of money.then it should do single and double round robin draws for 4, 6, 8, and 10 teams. It should compute that draw both for a tournament style competition, and a weekly competition. It should do semi-finals and finals, optionally. It should keep track of points across tournaments
Everything should convert to useful html/css, presumably linked to a style sheet. Input should be able to be done offline, and you should be able to import material from spreadsheets or csv files.
If it sent out emails, that would be sweet. I’d also like it to be able to upload photos, and to create team and player pages, which included the stats and possibly a brief bio.
I’m sure I can think of more stuff, but that would get you started.
The stats will be available from the first round once I remember to bring them in from home and pass them onto our statistician. Duh me.

There’s a CCM one and a JOFA one on this website, and they’re half visors.
And, you sell them at SK8. Here’s one:
http://www.sk8.co.nz/Itech-X-100-Half-V … 2C877.aspx
Say’s it’s certified right there on the web site.
Here’s another one:

Oh look, the tinted and mirrored ones, non-certified. Someone’s wearing an unsafe visor. Tisk tisk.
I’m not sure if the HECC certification deals with the tinting issue. The HECC web site talks about impact testing, not colour or anything. So the lack of HECC certification for the tinted visors might be a real safety issue rather than just the tinting.
Aaron’s offered to do the stats for us this DIHL, but I don’t think he’s really sure what he’s going to do with them.
I agree, if someone could write a database to process statistics, which also did team and tournament management, it’s a gaping hole in the market waiting to be filled. Even a shareware one could easily make a few grand I’m sure.
224F is part of 224. If you specifically mention F, then it’s not clear what you mean when you just put numbers in the rest of them.
There’s another debate about rewriting the IIHF rules to suit ourselves in every little way. Having read the rulebook recently, I think we should look at ways to move back towards it, not away from it. It’s a good rulebook, and we don’t just play hockey locally, we play regionally, nationally, and hypothetically, internationally. It’s no good players getting what they want in the DIHL and then having their hockey messed up as soon as they travel out of town because we’ve rewritten the rules to suit ourselves in every which way. There’s also a lot of authority from following the IIHF rules, which could possibly lead to problems if we step away from them too much and something happens.
People to add:
Jack Li (Jack)
Jason Sedgwick (Jason)
Graham Phipps-Black (leftrightconfused)
Tom Wilson (Tom)
Aaron Bryant (Azzy77)there might be some others, but not every referee is signed up of course.

And I add:
“227 ? MOUTH GUARD
a) It is recommended that all players shall wear a custom made mouth guard.
b) All players in the age category under 20, and not wearing a full face mask, shall
wear a custom made mouth guard.”Our rulebook seems to have removed the mouthguards entirely Ryan. Perhaps we should amend that to something more in line with what we actually enforce, which is ‘any player without a full cage must wear a mouthgard’.
The last IIHF world champs were 2005, which is before the rule came in. I would presume it’ll be enforced this April in the 2007 championships. While it’s true that probably most less serious competitions won’t worry about it, the rulebook is written for everyone, from local peewee games we have here, to the World Champs, so there’s no rules which are just for ‘more serious hockey’.
This rule at least has a point, to me it’s just a pretty minor point. I don’t know if I’d enforce it, but if the other team called for an equipment check, I probably would.
And referees never kid. They are all powerful, and if they say you look dorky with your tinted visor and take it off and put a real grown up one on, thou shalt do what they say or be penalised. Muhahaha.
And no, it’s not an interpretation rule, it’s a full-on grown up rule in its own right. You can read it in the rulebook here:
http://www.iihf.com/education/rulebook.htm
(I seem to recall last time I checked you couldn’t download the rulebook for free. Now you certainly can however, so players might want to use that link to score a copy of the rules for themselves).
Do you mean running as in, when a person scores a goal and it goes up on the scoreboard, the website has the stats live as they are entered in the score box?
Because that would be really hard, mostly because there’s no way that I know of to connect the computer they sometimes use in the scorebox to the internet.
I’d presume there is, or could be, software to do the rest of it, if someone was really keen.
I’d like every player to have a player page which got updated with stats over their career, listing teams they’ve played for and linking to pdf or digital copies of the scoresheets. With a pretty photo. But dreams are free <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smiley.gif" alt="
