Not many, I’m not 100% sure exactly how many though. Maybe 3-4 tried out and 2 got in?
I know that Stefan and Ryan Wick both tried out for certain.
Ryan,
The web master for http://www.nzicehockey.co.nz/%5B/url:1l0mewmd%5D Peter Idoine has posted a commentary on the game last night on the International Hockey Gang Forum:

Is it a problem that locally we’re not fully behind it? Is it something that the SIHL needs to agree to? Is it the NZIHF?[/quote:cr6or0bo]Not my area so I could be wrong. But my understanding is that the DIHA voted to propose to the NZIHF that we field an NZIHL team for the 2007 season but it was rejected. I’m not sure what the basis of the rejection was but I heard rumours about it being due to the belief that we’re not good enough – just idle rumour though so I could be wide of the mark there.
Also, the requirements for the NZIHL are you need a roster of 22 players I think but that you only need to take (I think) 14 players away to tournaments. So we wouldn’t need to have a totally packed roster or anything.

[/quote:2anu4e78]Woops, I was trying to remove it actually, must’ve gotten confused and hit the wrong button! It’s gone now. Feel free to reword your post, but I’m not happy with you specifically naming someone and then criticizing them outright. The others were just critiquing the coaching, not the person.
Ryan,

[/quote:njkbmbx1]IMO, outright criticizing someone personally on our forum is innappropriate. It’s also covered under the registration agreement with term ‘defamatory’. Lemme know if anyone disagrees with me (Chris perhaps?).

I haven’t had a problem with adults yelling from the sidelines, mainly coz I didn’t start playing hockey till I was an adult, but it always bugs me when my teammates do the same thing from the bench. There’s no point yelling at your teammate to do something when they’re 20+m away from you, the most they’ll hear is a garbled comment and their name and you’ll distract them. If they’re doing something wrong then yelling at them while they’re doing it rarely helps. Wait till they’re back on the bench and quietly explain their error, they’ll learn more, it won’t bug your teammates and drag your team moral down and best of all your team will play better as a result.
Ryan,
