    You aren’t messing with the balance of teams on the night then though Kyle, that’s the team recruiting their own casuals, quite a different kettle of fish IMO.

    Hmm, what exactly did you prefer? Current one does look a little tacked on, but I was working on that. I was mainly trying to shrink it coz it was so big, or do you not think that matters?

    Forum now has a simplified profile section (just below the forums submenu) for logged in users. It was too big and elaborate before IMO.

    Thanks <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smiley.gif" alt=":)” title=”Smiley” /> I’d been trying to find out what that thing was called for ages.

    what about this logo for the team.

    That definitely fits the description of “cartoonish” and it’s not for a team per se, rather the club as a whole. James van Leeuwen passed that around the committee last week.

    And welcome to the forum player <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smiley.gif" alt=":)” title=”Smiley” /> Who are you?

    Although I agree with your idea of balancing the teams kyle, i dont think we should get into changing the teams too much on the night. To keep this league competitive we need to establish “teams”, that play together, as when you start mixing teams on the night, it does turn the league into social hockey, rather than one bunch of players battling all season to make the finals, with a goal at the end of it.[/quote:6tzgf2n9]

    Sounds like you’re on the same line of thought as myself there.

    If they’re not organised enough to know when their next game is you probably don’t want them on your team anyway I reckon.

    What? You don’t want to read through five pages of me dribbling on about surfaces, netting and cooling towers? Fair enough …

    [b:35c05hz8]What?[/b:35c05hz8]
    [list:35c05hz8]
    [*:35c05hz8]Shooting gallery for firing pucks into a net[/*:m:35c05hz8]
    [*:35c05hz8]It’s [i:35c05hz8]about[/i:35c05hz8] 16 m long I think[/*:m:35c05hz8]
    [*:35c05hz8]We have plastic boards similar to the main rink[/*:m:35c05hz8]
    [*:35c05hz8]There’s netting all the way round[/*:m:35c05hz8]
    [*:35c05hz8]There’s some metal caging at the end as double protection to protect the cooling tower[/*:m:35c05hz8]
    [*:35c05hz8]It will presumably be used for puck handling, possibly passing practice etc. as well[/*:m:35c05hz8][/list:u:35c05hz8]

    [b:35c05hz8]Where?[/b:35c05hz8]
    [list:35c05hz8]
    [*:35c05hz8]It’s below the main grandstand, above the changing rooms/social room[/*:m:35c05hz8]
    [*:35c05hz8]There’s a cooling tower for the main refridgeration system in the centre so we can only use one end[/*:m:35c05hz8]
    [*:35c05hz8]You can access it via the stairs you pass on the way to the changing room (between the curling and hockey rinks). Turn left at the top of the stairs and follow your way around the back of the grandstand, it’s behind there.[/*:m:35c05hz8][/list:u:35c05hz8]

    [b:35c05hz8]When?[/b:35c05hz8]
    [list:35c05hz8]
    [*:35c05hz8]Completion date unknown – depends on volunteers – hopefully within a week or so but we’ll have too see what Hans gets done[/*:m:35c05hz8]
    [*:35c05hz8]Can I use it now? Yes, but you’ll likely get banned from the rink so don’t try it! The netting isn’t attached properly so the cooling tower is open to damage – that’s really bad by the way![/*:m:35c05hz8][/list:u:35c05hz8]

    [b:35c05hz8]Who?[/b:35c05hz8]
    [list:35c05hz8]
    [*:35c05hz8]At this stage it’s likely that people involved with the administration side of the club, team managers, coaches etc. will have access to a key for it.[/*:m:35c05hz8]
    [*:35c05hz8]To prevent vandalism you will need to use it when someone with a key is there to keep an eye on it[/*:m:35c05hz8]
    [*:35c05hz8]It will be available for anyone to use as long as the rink is open and someone with access to the key is there[/*:m:35c05hz8][/list:u:35c05hz8]

    [b:35c05hz8]What needs done?[/b:35c05hz8]
    [list:35c05hz8]
    [*:35c05hz8]Netting attached to boards[/*:m:35c05hz8]
    [*:35c05hz8]Boards reinforced and attached to floor[/*:m:35c05hz8]
    [*:35c05hz8]Lighting installed[/*:m:35c05hz8]
    [*:35c05hz8]Netting put in place as a ceiling – currently only the sides are done[/*:m:35c05hz8][/list:u:35c05hz8]

    [b:35c05hz8]Future Developments?[/b:35c05hz8]
    [list:35c05hz8]
    [*:35c05hz8]The floor may be painted which will make it look really fancy, improve the lighting and provide more grip for inline skate wheels[/*:m:35c05hz8]
    [*:35c05hz8]Phil Pielak-Jones is talking about installing a radar gun for measuring shot speed[/*:m:35c05hz8]
    [*:35c05hz8]Shot pad may be installed – basically a sheet of plastic to stand on for shooting from if you don’t have roller hockey skates to wear[/*:m:35c05hz8][/list:u:35c05hz8]

    That’s odd as I was having the opposite trouble, I needed a Mac to play the videos. After some fiddling I did find ways to get them to work. I haven’t had any problems other than that. Fast downloads and good quality video. Much easier than downloading TV shows, movies etc. as there’s less crud to filter through.

    It’s out of my hands now unfortunately. I was planning to do it all myself but Hans has kindly taken it over for me <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smiley.gif" alt=":)” title=”Smiley” /> But I’m not sure where he’s at with it now. Last I saw the side nets were up but not attached at the bottom, the lights weren’t up but waiting for installation and the boards weren’t attached to anything just loosely balanced on the ground. So still some work to be done. The boards/attachments for the nets was to be done by James van Leeuwen last I heard.

    That would work but it’s not as elegant as other solutions. I’d much rather be able to link to the correct pages/files directly.

    I’ve been trying to figure out why the hell my online time was going through the roof when no ones else is! It turns out it was coz I installed an RSS reader thingy for Firefox which was keeping me logged in even when I wasn’t using the forum.

    My stats now say: 1 days, 19 hours and 40 minutes, sheesh! I’m obsessed, but not quite that much <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/tongue.gif" alt=":P” title=”Tongue” />

    Any information is good information.

    I think if I can get enough people posting about the schools league here the information will just start flowing in, kinda like the premier team results are at the moment. They’re making their way here by word of mouth faster than the official results are, which is great as the official results are coming in WAY faster than last season. Fingers crossed the schools league will become similar <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smiley.gif" alt=":)” title=”Smiley” />

    I’m not sure this particular calendar will work unfortunately as I can’t seem to get it to link to external pages, just forum topics. I particularly need it to link to PDFs of schedules etc. or at least static pages on the site eg: DIHL page, SIHL page etc.

    [u:2kdm2lyn][i:2kdm2lyn][b:2kdm2lyn]Note:[/b:2kdm2lyn][/i:2kdm2lyn][/u:2kdm2lyn] You can access it from the main forum menu above

    You need to be given access to use it though, it’s not open to the public. I’ll PM you my login and password so you can use that. Tom is currently using mine.
