Actually, I’m sure that’s a typo I’ve made there. Aardwolfs trip is August I think, not July!?

I’ll have to go check, but I can’t till tonight.

That will be right at the start of power skating unless the games are played after 10pm on Monday.

Power skating wasn’t booked in when the Aardwolfs informed the DIHA when they’d be coming, so I’m assuming that ice time will be kept free.

I normally just bitch about how events are organised …

But the event tonight was DAMN GOOD! Thumbs up to the Cadbury Cup organisers <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smiley.gif" alt="” title=”Smiley” /> <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smiley.gif" alt="” title=”Smiley” /> <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smiley.gif" alt="” title=”Smiley” />

Slick … lots of spectators … good game … even game … nothing too dirty to bring the sport into disrepute, but enough big hits and rough and tumble to keep the crowd happy.

Good shit! Keep it up <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smiley.gif" alt="” title=”Smiley” />

Damn good game tonight! Canterbury only beat Dunedin by a smidgen. There was excitement all game long <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smiley.gif" alt="” title=”Smiley” /> Lots of big hits, controversy and an extremely close score.

Big kudos to the organisers who really stepped things up this year. Previous Cadbury Cups were always a little naff, but this time things were slick and well run. Most importantly, the quality of the game/players was a massive improvement. IMO this was a much better event for the spectators than the recent NZIHL games held here.

This morning, Beasts and Ducks compressed their two games into a full stop time game, and then reset the scoreboard at the end of the second period. Ducks were without a goalie, so played a third defence back. I forget the scores, but it was 14-3 or something in two periods, and then 13-2 in the third period to the Ducks? Good fun, but perhaps not so much if you were on the other side of the scoreboard.[/quote:2fdfqwwx]

Great game <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smiley.gif" alt="” title=”Smiley” /> Brings back memories of the scores for the mighty Dunedin Aces.

We had lots of fun, the score was always going to be irrelevant, just looking at the rosters is a telling sign … even the worst players on the Ducks would be about even keel with the top players in the Beasts. Throw in a former Ice Black, a former National Womens Hockey League player and some stupidly tall guy who elbows you in the head even though he’s standing upright and the outcome was inevitable. That doesn’t matter though, particularly for us defense who were kept busy all game long <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smiley.gif" alt="” title=”Smiley” />

Hey Ryan? Our wonderful professional photographer is playing tonight. Are going to be bringing your camera in and taking photos?[/quote:37nzxuxq]

Harrison is bringing his video camera along for me so you’ll be getting video footage instead <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smiley.gif" alt="” title=”Smiley” /> – I’m doing the camera work while Harrison is controlling the music.

At the very least, some argy bargy in the game will keep the spectators happy <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smiley.gif" alt="” title=”Smiley” />
Ryan Wick vs Christchurch thugs part 2?
This time I’ll try to make sure I get footage of it <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smiley.gif" alt="” title=”Smiley” />

You can’t hit a ref and get away with it.[/quote:2qpmecz1]

He hit a ref? First I’ve heard about that, or did I get confused about it and say that a while ago – that’s possible as I got confused about what actually happened.

The story I’ve heard (from multiple sources including one of the linesman on the ice at the time) was that he got multiple suspensions repeatedly, then got a match/game penalty/misconduct (not sure which). But then went and got changed, put on his work uniform (he’s one of the managers of the Alpine Ice Arena) and then promptly booted Jerome (referee at the time) out of the arena. I think he was going to get banned for repeated suspensions anyway, but got a double whammy for bringing the game into disrepute/disrupting the entire evenings games.

My sources in ChCh have come up dry, no one has heard about this.

Although I don’t know anyone currently on the CIHA committee so if it was in the past day or two it may not have filtered down through the grapevine yet.

I’m sure by the time anyone reads this we will probably be finished playing anyway, but like ryan said i’d much rather 2 games back to back than 4 20 min periods, it’s completely bizarre to do that[/quote:115j1eqo]

Yep, very bizaare. Not sure what Steve’s thinking there, he played another game tonight which was stop time, so that’d be about two hours tonight, plus almost another two and a half tomorrow morning?

besides this is SIHL competition by only playing one game doesn’t one team forfeit a win? the way i reason it both teams should get credited with a win and a loss, by playing 2 games we were guaranteed to at least get two cracks at a win, considering these guys could be our toughest competition don’t we want that?[/quote:115j1eqo]

I think Mark is trying to organise the second game for another time.

Apperently that Dwayne Bell guy is aloud to play. Somting to do with him threatening legal action against the CIHA so they lifted it.
[/quote:2vzfp30e]

Sheesh, sounds serious. I’ll see what gossip I can dredge up on it.

I don’t understand what legal action he could be threatening them with though. I’ve heard from multiple sources exactly the same story about what happened to cause him to be banned and it was all quite reasonable IMO.

Joe Sales is ready and waiting for the Mangle Off <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smiley.gif" alt="” title=”Smiley” /> Chris and Olivia’s entries are due by Wednesday’ish.

I’m just letting Steve Jackson call the shots he wants to play stop time I just wanted the game to go a little longer.[/quote:194ditmp]

Bizaare. I thought he’d be against the idea.

And yep, will see you tomorrow <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smiley.gif" alt="” title=”Smiley” />

Mark’s email said we’re now playing 4 x 20 min periods. But he also mentioned it may be stop-time!?

That would be one hell of a long game, I’d rather play two games back to back.

I’m assuming we’re still playing the original two games? Ducks aren’t pulling out?

I think you meant Becky by the way, not Olivia, unless we had a goalie swap in the past hour or so.
