Yeah, I wasn't sure what thickness to get, but then I realized I can just check what was for sale at places like HockeyShot.com. Went with a 24 x 48 x 1/8 for $25. :hellyeah:

Third time is a charm right?
First time skating in the seattle area. Had to drop my brother in law of at the airport so I went to a stick and puck session at Kent Valley. Nice rink, ice was good. Rink seemed clean and we'll kept. Only three guys and a goalie. Basically hockey nirvana.

Welcome to the hood dude :hfive: I've been lucky enough to have my last 2-3 stick n pucks have a chill goalie and like 5 people tops. It's so nice. Now for a "good" contrast to Kent Valley S&P, go to Highland Ice stick & puck at The Hockey Prison in Shoreline :v: :suicide:

A team in my league was Top Gun for a while until they disbanded. All the names on the jerseys were, you guessed it, pilots from Top Gun. I even got to play 1 season as Merlin before moving to a different team.

An idea floating in my head was printing actual Hebrew type-set phrases on the nameplates (Mazel Tov, Oy Vey, Chutzpah, nothing offensive), but the work and time to translate and find a typeset for the jersey guys was a bit too much. So dick jokes relating to sausages won out.

That'll be the trick, figuring out a dick-themed name for a girl's jersey that's a bit more classy and clever than the others.

As for the team, it would be the mixed league team if it pans out for me. They were originally for the C1 team a buddy and I were gonna captain, but the decision was to put the extra team in B2, cutting us out.

I have a set of jerseys for when I captain, which happens to be not this season but probably next. The mixed league failing this season, I have them for next when mine comes back for the next in 3 months (they didn't want to conflict with Sunday afternoon football). Not totally sure, but I might do a "$10 rental" for the season per jersey to subsidize the cost, it's what another team does with their custom jerseys. Someone might want to buy one of them outright, in which case I'm fine with.

Also my middle school was predominantly Jewish, funny enough.

So yes, you spent that money without a team this season and you're basically giving them away.

I mean it looks like at $10 it'll be realistically 2019 before they're paid off, assuming that people are going to want to rent a 5 season old random jersey vs just bringing their own blue?

I've played on a couple of casual tournaments teams now where someone showed up with pre-made jerseys for the team. It doesn't seem to be all that unusual. I've never been asked to rent the jersey, though, usually either you return them at the end of the tournament or buy them.

4 people. drat. Our rink sold out the last stick and puck I was at in the first 10 minutes (25 people) and then the waiting list (10 people) filled up.

25 skaters on the ice for 2.5 hours does NOT make for a fun 15 minute Zamboni run.

Hey that was my team. Tell #16 to knock off the show off bullshit before he gets himself hurt.

And yeah our team sucks everyone except for two or three of us started playing in Feb or so. We were missing all our good players last night too. I was probably our best player there which is Not Good.
