Playing at ASHL Richmond (OVAL) Div E, second season of my career. Still working on my skating / positioning, mostly.

I'm looking to take a power skating program, any opinions as to which place offers the best one?

I'm doing it at Britannia. Sunday from 5:45-6:30. Today is first class. It's a lot of edge work and the intermediate class is a lot of backwards skating doing crossovers and one foot turns. The beginners group is separated into two groups. One that doesn't know any edges, and one that knows some edges but works on honing forward crossovers.

I like it because the guys who teach it are pretty nice and push you pretty well. I've never taken it at 8 rinks, but from what my buddy tells me he says they spend half the time with pucks and the other half on skating, which is probably why it costs three tiems as much, but either one you take will help your skating a lot. I've done the one at Brit about 4 times last season and I'm a lot more confident with my backwards skating. The beginners one seems to be full, but the intermediate one has 10 spots left.

Here's the link for the programs at 8 rinks

Brittania if you don't know the basics. 8rinks if you know the basics and want to improve and push yourself. I've taken both and I've benefited most from 8rinks. Speaking of...I think I'll take one again this winter.

any teams out there needing a goalie/backup goalie for any teams in the lower half divs send me a pm!

What div and team do you play in Langley?

Ernie

Playing mens winter @ GPF
div 4

I used to play coast for a couple of years. I wouldn't suggest anyone to play there

I played last season in the lowest div, this year the whole team converted to ice instead lol

I agree. During the summer we signed up for div c1/2 and got placed into e2. I felt bad for our opponents. I think our gaa was like less than 1.00.




Currently in tier 3-4 in ice604

What's wrong with the Coast League?

Does anyone have ice time tonight (sunday) that can use an extra player??

im really itching to play!!

I asked the guy running the spot at BWC tonight. I'll let you know what he says.

ED: Thanks!! Hit me on facebook if so....

Playing ICE604 tier 5, team called the Hawks (HWK). Also subbing/part timing for ASHL Div E1 (i think) for a team called the Cougar Hunters.

my team keeps winning and we've moved up to tier 5-6 (SGM/Scoregasms)

I need to join a shittier team :QQ:

Let me know next season. :troll:

scumbag team since you're on it

Yeah for sure.

It's so weird not playing with a regular D partner. My team just rolls the D lol.

I guess it does make me a scumbag having 12PIMs so far. But I did let you slip past me a few times, ya know boosting them stats :badpokerface:

GPF is a gongshow. Nothing but EI's dishing out open ice hits and starting brawls in and after the games. Idiots there think its fun to try to make it NHL-like.

its probably not just that league, it seems like most leagues are full of these guys. Not just EI's is some of the chirpy asians guys too.

I forgot what team it was but there was this EI who had a dark blue tint visor :awwyeah:

what a joke. slammed his stick against the boards everytime he missed a shot.

lol white guys are just as chirpy. Quite a few throw their body around a lot too and this is REC league. I swear a few of these guys think this is an NHL try-out, out to hurt people.

Langley league is so rough

no...it IS just that league. I subbed for my boss' team when he played at GPF and got consistently blindside hit(Think Scott Stevens style) and that's when I didn't even have the puck! It literally is a whole bunch of EI's going crazy and starting brawls and they think its funny. Never encountered that at COAST, ASHL or even ICE604. I'll take those chirpy asians anyday.

Which div did you play in? Which team?

Ernie

Part time for the preds in div 6, I think?
