Summer Hockey

David — Fri, 23 Jun 2006 03:28:49 +0000

Well, it has been a while since a post has found its way to this site and I apologize.
Ball hockey is well underway for the summer and Rita took some photos at our last game.
I am in the process of uploading them all (or at least the good ones). There are posted at lower res but if you like any I can send you a better quality one.
Can’t wait for the next game!

Boot — er, STICK — to the head

David took a hockey stick to the face last night.

He called me from the hospital and told me there was nothing to worry about. Of course I had to go down there because I started to pace. He was stitched up by a very nice Doctor-in-residence who was at least half of David’s age. We had a surreal conversation while he demonstrated his handiwork on David who lay sprawled on a stretcher in a hospital corridor. I watched a few bashed-in faces stumble past but, all in all, not too traumatic a visit to Chilliwack General. Poor boy can’t make facial expressions and/or raise his eyebrows without wincing. Ick.

Game 6

David — Sat, 05 Nov 2005 17:24:17 +0000

It has been a while since we played a B division team. Thursday night we played hard and won 7-3.
Not too exciting a game as we dominated. Hope we play the same way in our next game. It is an A division team though so trying to not get hammered too badly.
Next game, Thursday, Nov 10, 9:00pm.

Game 5

David — Mon, 31 Oct 2005 03:36:05 +0000

Well it turned out to be a good game. We were in it until early in the third period when they went into overdrive and scored many goals in a short period of time. It was only 1-0 for them after the first period.
They are an A-division team after all. Final score 5-2. Ryan scored both our goals in less than two minutes late in the third.
Our record stands at 2-3. Next game: Thursday 7:45.

Games 2 & 3

David — Wed, 26 Oct 2005 12:55:20 +0000

Well, game 2 was a loss for us but we don’t feel bad because it was against the leading A division team and we did a lot better than last year. Game 3 was a win for us (5-3) even though I knocked the ball into our own net.

Game 1

David — Fri, 14 Oct 2005 16:43:46 +0000

Well we did win last night to start the season on a positive note.
With 19 seconds left in the game we scored to make it a 5-4 victory.
Little bit of rust out there but we didn’t play too badly.
We will need a lot more luck on Sunday as we play an A division team.

New Post

David — Thu, 13 Oct 2005 21:43:16 +0000

Well, it looks like I am finally adding a new post to the blog.
A lot has happened since the last posting in April.
Our summer hockey was great. No rollerbladers. Lots of practise for the indoor season.
Our first game in the indoor league is tonight. So hopefully we won’t be too out of shape. I hear the team has changed a bit since last year what with retirements and new additions so we may need some time to gel.
The even bigger news is that I am engaged to my love, Rita, whom I had just met as the indoor season was ending. So, I had a busy and exciting summer.
I will try to be good and update on a more regular basis from now on.
Stayed tuned for hockey updates from the Hitmen.

Road Hockey

David — Sat, 09 Apr 2005 15:28:46 +0000

Today the weather is great for the start of the outdoor ball hockey season.
Since this is the opening game I, of course, won’t be there as I am going to the Pacific International Auto show today.
Have fun shooting hard balls at each other and I will join you next week.

New Hockey Pics

David — Fri, 01 Apr 2005 16:58:32 +0000

Ryan has sent in some pictures that everyone should see.

If anyone wants to submit their photos from the season please send them to monkofnee@yahoo.ca.

Game 4 continued

David — Fri, 18 Mar 2005 06:44:12 +0000

YEAH! the Hitmen win the B division playoffs.
After a tense 23 minutes that featured no scoring. Though, lots of chances both ways.
Our injured goalie came back to play and was outstanding.
Thanks go out to Dennis for putting together a great team this year.
Hopefully everyone will attend next Saturday’s league get together at the Vault.
