ssh - 10/3 nhl season opener!

After 4 long months, the nhl is back! All teams start with a record of 0-0-0 with legitimate hopes to win the cup... At least, that's how habs fans think. Lets all meet at 2pm for our regular game with nhl action on the telly afterwards. We might have to move an unmentionable structure so the more the merrier. Who's in? Continue

2009 Canada vs. usa game report.

It was much closer than the score indicates but Canada bested the US for the 3rd year in a row. Good thing this was over in 4 games. We would have needed stretchers otherwise. The MVP (Koh Smythe) goes to Scott Macquarie. Well deserved. His superscuzz point shot mystified the US goaltenders. Continue

No set up hockey spot?

On my bike ride yesterday, I stumbled upon this place in Discovery park. 2 basically abandoned tennis courts. Dimensions were about 100x50, 8 feet fence on 1 side and court nets on the other. 0 setup time. Food for thought. Could try it once this… Continue

2/14 game + fundraising+gear bucket mystery?

We're holding an earlier scrimmage for the Vegas tournament team (next week!) but most of us will still be there to play at the 2pm game so come on by. We're still fundraising so bring cash or click on the donate button on the ssh homepage. Anybody clear the board gear bucket mystery? It wasn't in it's usual place so we had to improvise a set up but it reappeared in the bed of a red pickup truck parked at Greenwood. Red pickup owner, who are you? Game on! Continue

12/13 (possible snow) Game + bday + 12 pubs

Saturday forecast is for cold and even a low probability of snow! Snow games are fun. Reminds me of the Quebec days playing outside -30C weather. For after game chaos you already know about the 12 pubs of Christmas. We'll also celebrate the 40th revolution around the sun of our own Chucky T. If you can see past his questionable taste in music and his lack of passing, you'll find a great guy! Drop a line in the… Continue

11/8 game - goalies?

We avoided rain most of the day and got great games in last Saturday. Sharif, what happened? No show? We had to unretire Kreptul and put him in net. He did awesome but the thin gear earned him a few good bruises. Who's in goal this week? We need some fresh cash for new goalie gear. Suggested donation $20. Donate here on the site or at the game Saturday. Game on! Continue
