Hockles posted:We can do a team fee too, but it's priced at the same price as 17 people paying individually. So, it doesn't make sense to pay as a team. It makes every sense to pay as a team so you can actually play hockey and not sweaty dressup. We pay more than individual fee to keep our team roster reasonable.

prom candy posted:hockey fuckin rules Agreed. My terrible Silver A team (only my second season playing up here) won a game last night. We were even down and came back to score 2 in the third to win. 8 games in and we have double the points we had last season already! Yay for not being last place!

Nothing better than having 10 guys show up for the first time all season and see the other team only have 2 on the bench and we're feeling pretty confident only to have the goalie give up the first 4 shots of the game. Halfway through the first period, 4-0. We eventually made it 5-3 and the goalie decided to bookend it I guess by letting the last 3 shots of the game in for a sweet 8-4 loss. I know I can't put all the blame on the goalie but at least 2 of those goals weren't even hard enough to hit the back of the net. He was squared up to them too but just basically stayed in shooter tutor stance and let the guys shoot for the corners or 5-hole. I would say 2 of the 8 were like, oh poo poo we really hosed up on that one, our bad. The others were just straight shots right passed him. I don't think they got 1 rebound goal. The only thing I can take away is that he at least knows a lot of them were on him because if he feels we're loving him over he'll tell us what we need to do in the defensive zone to help him out and he didn't say poo poo in between periods. Sorry for the rant but our team sucks and it seems like every time the scales tip in our favor before the puck drops is the day that the goalie is like way, way, way off his game. I know the real answer is get better so he doesn't have to face any shots but when you're doing all you can to defend and all the other team can manage is to get a 20mph chip shot off and it goes right in, it is really demoralizing.

If you're bringing a play-to-win attitude to weekday rec league low level hockey you're gonna have a poo poo time like half the time at least. More so if you have an unreliable goalie. Aim to play your hardest/best rather than to win and you'll have a better time. That's my experience as someone who can be a huge sore loser anyway.

I'm just salty every time I spend a shift getting open, calling for a pass and watching my guys pass to the other team again... and again... and again oh wait! Nope given it to the other guys again...

I bring a play to play well attitude and most of the time I don't really care that much win or lose so long as I manage to play well myself. But sometimes it just seems like the stars align and the team is poised for a win and it all goes out the window in 10 minutes. I've been playing long enough, and long enough with this team, not to expect to win every time out. We're currently 0-7 or however many games we've played I don't really keep track. It just gets frustrating to lose 'em all sometimes.

Played with my sub team last night, nearly scored on a breakaway when I put it five hole but it only slid halfway over the goal line  and the goalie swiped it away before my line mate could get to it.I also nearly got a perfect backdoor cross crease deflection but I put it a foot wide. Towards the third period my line mate had a breakway and I trailed looking for the rebound. It bounced out and I had the shittiest angle but managed to put it over the sprawling goalie to a post-and-in goal. I don't remember the last time I scored so it felt really good. The other team had a defenseman who was easily 2 leagues above this skill level. His slowest speed was still twice as fast as the best player on the ice. It was clear they put him back on D to keep from scoring 5 goals. He still managed to score 3, 2 of which were skate across the blue line and clap one of the hardest lazer beam slapshots I've ever seen in beer league. Our goalie claimed he couldn't even see the puck coming and had zero people screening him.

I can see where you're coming from but my team all plays to win and we all have a great time. Losses are bullshit and we'll stand around and bitch about it over parking lot beer but if we win we're doing the same thing while we pat each other on the back. If you're one of the only tryhards on a roster though, that sucks.

Got a hatty last game against the biggest douche team in the league that we've had poo poo with for the last 4 years or so. They always start poo poo and complain about how dirty we are. 2 minutes left in the game I skate the puck in, take it behind their net and one of their guys tries to run me as I turn the corner and I just loving exploded him, he fell into the net and onto their goalie, and laughed as he got dragged to the penalty box for body checking. I love when refs pay attention. Note the PIMs (We are the Killa Bees, they are the Dragon Slayers) This season:  Last season:

The Hitmen are living up to their name this year. Your whole division is extremely poo poo with penalties, though. Our whole league is only 5 or 6 games in and out of a some random teams I checked in various divisions, the team with the most PIMs has 20 on the year.

That whole league has a lot of penalties. Is it a thunderdrome or are the refs just super strict? The league I'm in this fall is the first one I've been in to actually report PIM, and 9 games into the season the highest is 57 minutes, the average is 26.

If you're one of the only tryhards on a roster though, that sucks. Yeah, I dunno, it might be a personality thing. I'm really competitive and playing to win almost anything sucks the fun out of it for me, especially team sports/games. I really like and want to win, but I have to consciously reframe success in my mind or else I get pissy over poo poo I can't control. If you're not a big sore loser baby like me it's probably not something you have to worry about.

It's not thunderdome, I think a lot of it is tripping and hooking and that sort of stuff. It's sort of a cross over division, some really fantastic players, some middling players and some tag along bad players, I think the skill disparity leads to a lot of desperation penalties. Teams play hard, but I think the Dragon Slayers are the only "dirty" team. Bunch of late 20's early 30s guys who still think they can make the show, beer league is their life kinda stuff. Heres the league page. Seems pretty even throughout the divs? http://coasthockey.com/standings.aspx?LeagueID=1&SeasonID=101

The refs in my league act like blowing the whistle will activate their shock collar and avoid it like the plague. Every clear icing is called a deflection, and when the goalie gloves the puck, the ref will instantly start yelling to get rid of it no matter how many people from the other team are around him. I guess that's what I get from playing in a glorified drop in league, and at least it keeps us skating. I signed up through Stinky Socks to play a game on the outdoor rink at Fenway Park this January, which is wicked exciting and I can't wait to have my parents come watch the lowest tier of hockey at the coolest rink I'll probably ever get the chance to play in (both in terms of radness and weather since it's a night game in January.)

Just played an 11pm game that was delayed 30 minutes due to shitbaggery in the previous games. Got the first goal of the game (garbage backdoor rebound cleanup) and the team played really well. We won 3-0 with 44 shots to something like 15. I could have easily had 3 goals that game, one breakaway was abysmal as I put it 3 feet wide of the net. Zero clue how it went that far wide. It's 1:20, I'm in line at taco bell because I'm loving starving and I've got zero food at home ... loving late games.

Every time I get the chance to do something like this I feel like the biggest badass ever for at least a week leading up to and after. Is there a better feeling as a hockey player to skate on ice way above your weight class?

Made a beautiful, hard, tape-to-tape pass right to our center and we went on to score a few seconds later.  The pass was 95% pure accident - I was mostly trying a hard clear and he caught it perfectly.

My league doesn't even provide a column for shots, they decided to not pretend to track it I guess. As I was leaving the ice last night one of the refs specifically came over to me and said he gave me an assist, which is cool and all, but I seriously couldn't remember when I was on the ice for a goal. Maybe there was one shift where I chipped it off the boards and a linemate took it all the way down while I headed for the bench, but I can't remember if he scored on that shift. Also I somehow have two goals even though I know for a fact I have only scored once.. so I'll just keep quiet about that one.

Our rink does shot counting in hopes that the scorekeeper will have eyes on the ice in case of any incidents. They're pretty rare but probably a good policy to have

None of the three leagues I currently play in uses score keepers (despite two of them promising they're going to for the last year or so). The refs operate the scoreboard, and you're lucky if the penalty clock actually gets set for penalties. The one rink I the area that does use a score keeper doesn't track shots. All the scoring info is relayed to the score keeper from the ref and is frequently wrong. Sometimes the score keeper is cool and will play music between the whistles for late games.

Yeah I was sailing everything wrist and slap shot related in warm ups and in game 3 feet wide right last night for some reason. It sucked. Snap shots were fine but playing stay at home D (cause my D partner is sssssssllllllloooooooooooow) kind of takes those off the table. I need to get back to practicing.  Also Hockey Monkey lowered their free shipping threshold and has %35 off (some) sticks for black friday week or whatever right now.
