Mike

[ShadowCat]

:wave:

Waving means Hello. Not that you're coming and the 4th is okay. :tongue: LOL But since I already talked to you, I'll take it. :biggrin:

[crazyoldcougar]

:gitrdone: :thumbsup: i'll be there, already book marked in PDA

[CougarBum]

[MUSKOKN]

GIDDY UP!!!

I'll see if my cousin wants to play. He's a goalie too.

I have a friend who wouldn't mind playing too...Is it cool if I ask him?

Definitely. We're not gonna have enough NECO'ers, so we'll need some other people to come out.

Mike

[hamill]

put me down as a spectator....I don't know if I'll have skates, but I'll toss in the $20 if you need people

[ShadowCat]

Didnt Mandy say she plays goal too? Hopefully she can make it out.

[timeless420]

I'll join to spectate. Any one feel like some Irished coffee to keep warm/entertained?

[rastaman]

ice hockey?

[crazyoldcougar]

I'll join to spectate. Any one feel like some Irished coffee to keep warm/entertained?
do you even have to ask...

[ShadowCat]

ice hockey?

Yep

Ajay, didnt you post in the first thread?

[MaverickFlyer]

I might just spectate as I have no equipment, But I have 2 friends that might play. I'll ask them tomorrow. But I'll throw in $20 for a good cause too!

[Iceotron]

Cheryl and I will be in attendance.

I'll be playing too.


As far as equipment goes, Skaters shouldn't need shoulder pads. everything else is recommended though.


PS: Lets not forget the quote by Sean Avery: "I think it was typical of most French Canadian guys in our league with a visor on, running around and playing tough and not back anything up." :cover:

[Housecat]

I'll play as well as long as it's in the evening. I play football in the afternoon.

[Mike]

Cheryl and I will be in attendance.

Good point. This is going to be non-contact, so shoulder pads aren't really necessary.

Mike

[MaverickFlyer]

"Non-contact" awe come on, I wanted to pay $20 to see you guys beat the snot out of each other! :rofl:

Is Cheryl playing or watching?

[Iceotron]

she'll be watching.

[MaverickFlyer]

Where would this be? My friends want to know before they commit! :rolleyes:

[ShadowCat]

I think its going to be in the City of Brampton if thats okay with everyone....?

The lady seemed kinda cool.....she looks after booking the rinks for the whole city and will find us one at the time we need/want. Its easier that way...

[mandy]

hey id be in to play but im SOL for skates/equip, so im in for a spectator for now!

[mandy]

are we allowed to bring other pps?

[Housecat]

I'll play wherever you guys set something up. Just tell me date and time.

[crazyoldcougar]

i might be good for +1 as well i have to ask my brother..i know he has equipment but i dont know his availability..

no shoulder pads...damn i just bought new ones i wanted to try out...

and hehehe htis canadian guy doesnt have a visor on his helmet...no cage either..have found one that fits with a Nike Quest helmet..

[ShadowCat]

I'll play wherever you guys set something up. Just tell me date and time.


I did....read the first post ;) But only an approx time.

[Housecat]

I did, but I only read an approximate time. ;)

I don't like hanging out at arena's all day.

[Nitrik]

I was gone for a bit, but put me down for playing. I might have one or two buddies come play if needed.

[Zman]

I may have to confirm with the boss, but Angie and I should be there. Only spectating though since I have no equipment and have only skated once. If need be, I can help chip in some money.

[ShadowCat]

I did, but I only read an approximate time. ;)

I don't like hanging out at arena's all day.

Neither do I, :tongue: but exactly how long we are there is up to the players, not the spectators. The plan is to get the arena for 2 hours cause they said they take a away a portion of that time with flooding, etc., even though we pay for it.

Hmm....How about a poll for what time.....

[crazyoldcougar]

i pcked the 9pm to 11 am slot ...after 14 hours of hockey i should be able to score plenty on MIKE...LOL.:rofl:

i would prefer either that or the 11-1 since t would problably be cheaper per person..but either is good..and woooohooo finaly the first to get my word in...lol

[Mike]

I chose 11pm - 1am just because we may be able to squeek out a little more time.

But I dont mind the 9pm - 11pm time slot either.

Mike

[Iceotron]

Ditto

[crazyoldcougar]

only four people so far?

[MaverickFlyer]

only four people so far?

Umm, I see 14 players, or at least maybes! :shrug:

[Iceotron]

Umm, I see 14 players, or at least maybes! :shrug:


only 4 votes tho

[MaverickFlyer]

only 4 votes tho

Opps, my bad! :rofl:

I don't really care when so I didn't vote, Yet! :evil:

[Housecat]

I voted after 11pm for 2 reasons.

1) The ice is cheaper - Usually
2) Chances are there wouldn't be anyone on at midnight and therefore, you could stay on for an extra 15 or so.

[CougarBum]

im a spectator so anytime is good for me. Im sure i can stay awake till 1am :)

[Nitrik]

I voted after 11pm for 2 reasons.

1) The ice is cheaper - Usually
2) Chances are there wouldn't be anyone on at midnight and therefore, you could stay on for an extra 15 or so.That's true. I want to change my vote to that. I also forgot this would be taking place on a Saturday and can sleep in on Sunday :biggrin:

[ShadowCat]

im a spectator so anytime is good for me. Im sure i can stay awake till 1am :)

You can still vote. :tongue:


Okay well I guess we'll be booking for 11 - 1 AM unless a bunch of morning people vote....

[crazyoldcougar]

11-1 is good for me..and looks like my brother cant come he sold his equipment when he finished school...[Red Forman]DUMBASS..[/Red Forman]

[Housecat]

Also, if this is a bunch of people who haven't strapped on the blades in a while, or don't play very often at all then 2 hours is going to be way too long, trust me.

Even if you lose time from a flood (10 mins, MAX) you can usually make that up at the end in an 11:00 pm time slot.

I think you would find a lot of people are completely dead if you had the ice for 2 hours.

[Housecat]

Also, you may want to confirm numbers before getting the ice. I doubt there's a lot of people that want to pay $20 - $25 to play for an hour if you don't have that many people.

[Iceotron]

I'm bringing my brother with me so thats 2 skaters.


[begin Psych-out] I've recently been suspended from Roller hockey for "Intent to injure" god damn pussy Yanks get all bent out of shape over a simple body check. So what if it's a non hitting league, I mean I would have elbowed him in the face if I intended to injure him....god.

I still think 2 hours is best. We dont have to play hockey for 2 hours. It'll also give the spectators a chance to strap on some skates and just skate around for a bit. It'll be fun. ;)

[ShadowCat]

Don’t worry!! The plan is to find 20 people and if we play after 11 PM we are looking at more like $15 a person......I don’t foresee any way that people will end up having to pay $25.


You don’t have to play for 2 hours straight. LOL You can all take a break or w/e

[ShadowCat]

Okay I updated the first post, but if you've been following along its nothing new.

Ignore the vote from "skinny", I dont think he/she we be making the 23 hour drive to the meet. ;)

[MaverickFlyer]

I was going to say, what if People don't want to play hockey but just want to skate? Would there be time for that?

[Mike]

Definitely! Whoever wants to come out and just skate, feel free! We'll make time...

Mike

[timeless420]

Knee is offically shot.....spectating for me. Now I just need to find someone that can fit a new knee brace so I can continue to snowboard this year.

[MaverickFlyer]

Ignore the vote from "skinny", I dont think he/she we be making the 23 hour drive to the meet. ;)

I doubt Heather (HugNSmile1) Will be making the 9 hour drive either. Although you never know with her! :rofl:

[Nitrik]

As already mentioned, I didn't mean to vote for 9-11. I wanted 11-1 instead.

So as it stand right now(my vote moved and "intruder" votes deleted:
0
1
1
4

Also, with the amount of people we have I doubt we'd be able to play 30 minutes of continuous hockey. I'm gonna venture out and say most are out of shape and most also haven't played much ice hockey lately. So yes, there will definitely be time for the specs to come skate around. I see us playing like two 30 minute games before we're gassed out while the rest of the time is spent taking it easy and skating around.

Yeah Crazyoldcougar said he was cool with 11 - 1 too. I'm just worried about Eric....Will he be unable to come if we do it in the time slot everyone else has chosen?

[CougarBum]

I'm just worried about Eric....Will he be unable to come if we do it in the time slot everyone else has chosen?

No worries there, i talked to him the last night about it and he said he clicked it by accident, that it was the only way he could get into the forum or somethng. He's good at anytime.

So it looks like 90% of us are in for the last time slot.

[ShadowCat]

Thanks Maya! :) Good news!!
So if everyone is good with 11 - 1 ....we will just have to find a few more
bodies before we go ahead and book it

[Massiv]

I'm in. Shoulder pads are of course optional. Please don't expect everyone to not wear them. Again, it's non-contact, so shouldn't be a big issue.. (just like the "non-contact" Toronto leagues!

I have a LITTLE bit of extra equipment if someone needs to borrow. I can also bring people to play if we're short.

Massiv.

[crazyoldcougar]

just dont forget your elbow pads....

[MUSKOKN]

Massiv.

What extra equipment do you have...I have a buddy who whould be interested, but he got rid of a lot of his cause it was too small or worn out?

[MUSKOKN]

Yea sorry bout the 8-10 thing...I just clicked that cause I couldn't get into the thread. :banghead:

I'm good for anytime...When it comes to hockey, I'll make time!!! :bowdown:

[Massiv]

What extra equipment do you have...I have a buddy who whould be interested, but he got rid of a lot of his cause it was too small or worn out?

Umm... a variety of things. Skates (skate size 9.5 I think), helmet, gloves... maybe some pads. Jock, size XL... etc.

Massiv.

[Housecat]

Jock, size XL... etc.

Massiv.

:rofl:

[crazyoldcougar]

:rofl:
i dont understand what is funny about that?

the large size jocks hurt...XL only way to go...dont have to worry about your berries falling out and being pinched off,:eek: should an incident arise...<----and by that i mean get hit by puck...not...well you dirty minded people know what your thinking...:rofl:

i have extra socks and jersy...had helmet and SPads but i tossed them...

ooooohohohoh i have a bunch of pucks too..hehe lol

is there any more yankees coming?:shrug:

[Iceotron]

is there any more yankees coming?:shrug:

As far as playing, I think only my brother and I. Although I can try and find more to come up and play...but they'll want to ensure there's some pre-gaming going on.

[Housecat]

i dont understand what is funny about that?


I know you don't. You never will.


I'm bringing at least one person, probably two or three. Just so you can add that to your list.

[Nitrik]

is there any more yankees coming?:shrug:Apparently...there was like 4 who voted in the damn poll :shrug:

What's with all the trolls in our topics lately? I guess they've finally realized that Ontario NECO owns all? :tongue:

[crazyoldcougar]

I know you don't. You never will.

lol are you sayin massiv has a small unit and doesnt need the XL...?:rofl:

I'm pretty sure his original laughter was a nervous tittering, indicating fear. More than a raucous laughter indicating hilarity. ;)

Massiv.

[CougarBum]

What's with all the trolls in our topics lately?

i think its because the poll made it onto the home page of newcougar. So anyone can vote, im surprised only 4 yanks voted :eek:

[Nitrik]

Meh, w/e. I just wish Feb 4 would hurry the hell up.

[crazyoldcougar]

one of my buddies is a goalie...albeit a very poopy one...but he is having a hard time tracking down his equipment that has been lent out to various parties around Barrie..we play on a couple different ball hockey teams and stuff just gets put everywhere..but he is trying to find it so he can play...i will let you know, when i know more..

[ShadowCat]

okay I have run into a problem...

Fletchers Arena @ Ray Lawson & McLaughlin
is the only one that has arenas available between 11 and 1

They have 4.....#1 and #4 are free at the moment. (Which means we wouldn't be alone.)

For Non-city residents after 11PM - $163/hour
For City residents after 11PM - $130/hour

Biggest pain is they require payment at the time of booking. :eek:


Does this sound good or bad?
Are you willing to Pre-pay?
Do any of you live in the City of Brampton? (If not, I will just find another one because its not worth the extra $66 when we can easily go elsewhere)

[Housecat]

Arena's always require payment when you book ice time. What do you mean we wouldn't be alone? We would have our own pad to ourselves.

I think that we should only book the ice for an hour. Two hours will be too long in my opinion.

The extra money divided between 10-12 people isn't that big of a deal.

If you guys want to trek out to Whitby, (30 mins from the 400 area) then ice can be rented still on Saturday for the cost of $125.

[Massiv]

So what's the deal with the ice time? Any time/place is fine for me.

Massiv.

[ShadowCat]

Time is set 11 PM - 1 AM
Location is kinda screwed right now....I have to make some more phone calls. I just didnt have time today. :( I will fix this problem next week....

Omg I had a 1/4 cup of coffee and my head is spinning

Mmmm.... coooffeeee....

Oddly, I used to drink 4-5 Large or XL timmies per day. Got to a point where I couldn't pass the lows without going there for another one. So I quit entirely for a year and a half. Now I drink it again, and just ONE cup, does me for the whole day. If I have one in the afternoon, I have trouble crashing that night. Weird...

I just ate California Sandwich from Westen & Hyw. 7 and I feel sick now! :puke:

I might leave work early!

Christina, don't for get the Mils if we ever get this meet going! ;)

[Iceotron]

I'm more then willing to pay upfront. Gotta pay it no matter what anyways right.

And we must also setup some pre-game drinking.

[Housecat]

A good call.

On both points!

[timeless420]

And we must also setup some pre-game drinking.

Is there any other way to play?

[Iceotron]

Is there any other way to play?


If there is then it should be illegal.

[Iceotron]

Any updates on location or pricing?

We alse need to start an official count of who's attending to play, board member or not. I'll start.



2 players.

Carl thats on the first post...I have down yourself and Joe as definites.

I guess the other people are waiting to get a definite location. I'm working on that though..... Sorry....

Everyone is going to have to Paypal Mike the money for the booking the rink but right now there is only 15 people listed. So unless we get 5 more its going to cost everyone like $23.

So everyone go find another friend :) ....preferably one living in Brampton cause that will save us an additional $4/per person.

[Mike]

I think the best thing to do would be to start sending me $20/player. If it ends up costing us less, i'll give you the difference back. If it costs more, I don't mind fronting the difference.

We NEED to have the money before we book. If I don't get money from people, we can't book the ice, plain and simple.

If you want to PayPal the money to me, send me a PM and i'll give you my email address.

Mike

[Iceotron]

You have a PM sir.

[CougarBum]

You have a PM sir.

"SIR"? :rofl: mike, i *think* he means you j/k

[Mike]

"SIR"? :rofl: mike, i *think* he means you j/k

:disgust:

[MUSKOKN]

SUCCESS!!!! We have a local address to put the rink under...My cousin said we could book under his name. He's not a for-sure-in yet, but he said he come out when we all get there, just in case they need I.D.

Mike, I'll give you his addy when your back on MSN.

[ShadowCat]

Eric, can you send it to me? LOL

I'm going to book tomorrow and hopefully I can convince the lady to give me a couple days to come by and pay, since we arent paying on a credit card.

Thats all assuming we can get the money ASAP



Thanks to Eric and his cousin its only going to cost $280 :biggrin: :thumbsup:

[CougarBum]

yeeyy go aaron!!!

[Iceotron]

sweet. now we just need all the confirmations.

[Housecat]

I'll definitely be there. I just need to know how to pay it.

[crazyoldcougar]

I'll definitely be there. I just need to know how to pay it.
i'll be there and i belive we are to paypal Mike..pm him first to get his addy..

[ShadowCat]

I updated the first post with all the details. Everything is completely finalized.

We just need $280 by Friday afternoon.
I will be heading over to pay for it after work.

Yay! :banana:

[timeless420]

Mike, if my knee is any shape to actually skate on would you mind if I paid the day of? It's too far off to tell espically since I'll be in Collingwood the weekend before and snowboaring was what had me immobilized until last Saturday. Hopefully my knee brace will help....,
