Hawgstoppah Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Hey all. Im gonna be in town from 26-29 or so, have some hockey planned. There's 5 of us that are gonna lace up for sure... if anyone else wants to join in some fun friendly shinny type hockey at one of the outdoor rinks in town, lemme know. I usually go to a rink around 40 ave and 40st somewhere I dont know the address but if people are interested in meeting us I'll GET u the address. We'll basically be there every night till they shut the lights out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castuserraticus Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 What quadrant of the city? I'm just about always up for a skate. I approach hockey like sex - more enthusiasm than skll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMasson Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 I might be in Calgary for the day anyways on the 27th. If I do go I will bring my skates and a stick with me and lace up. I'd love to play with you folks! James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rocknbugs Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 My knee and foot are totally F$%ed but I could give it a go, when and were. Mackenzie lake has a killer hockey rink on one side and 2 rinks set up on the lake as well. The ice is great as we have a community Zamboni and they do the ice near daily its awesome. If we can get enough people from the site I could call over and see if we could get a time to have a private game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castuserraticus Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Brian let us know which rink. Silver Springs was in good shape yesterday. Last year the volunteers were floodingand scraping 2X/day. I assume it's the same this year as the same guy is in charge. Triwood apparently uses the zamboni on their outdoors rink also - don't know if it's restricted to community members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick0Danger Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Silver Springs is not as well kept as last year (i tried to volunteer but they said the guy taking care of it has 1 other person and does not want any other help) However that said it is in MUCH better shape than most other outdoor rinks, im not one to complain when i can walk 2 blocks and have a nice skate.

JMasson Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Are you guys still planning on playing on the 29th (saturday)? I can't make it to Calgary on the 27th but I am planning on coming down on Saturday to fish the Bow and I'll bring my gear to play some hockey afterwards. I would love to meet some of you folks and pass a puck or two as well. Please, let me know if this is still in the books! I'll need an address and maybe directions since I'm not familiar with Calgary. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawgstoppah Posted December 30, 2007 Author Share Posted December 30, 2007 aww crap. I forgot about this post. I just got back today. Played at a rink in the SE i dont even know which one. I had my 2 boys 13 and 14yr old so we didn't go to hard but we had a lot of fun. Played at a little pond in Okotoks too.. was fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yodatrout Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 I got out on a rink off Elbow Dr and 32. Good ice about ten skaters and a shooter tudor. Too bad I never learned to keep my head up... it'll be a couple of weeks before I heal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
