If it's dry, there will be a game tomorrow.

If you don't live near OlympicView, check out these traffic cams
which are nearby.  If it's dry on the cams then it's usually dry at
the schoolyard.

After tortuous weekend negotiations with the Olympic View Elementary School playground events scheduling committee, your OVERT representatives were able to secure several more Wednesday night game days for the '07 season. So we will play this Wednesday night again at sixish. Players are advised to bring head lamps, in case the three-game goes long.

The farewell to Wednesday nights was very well attended and was a beautiful experience for me. It reminded me of playing street hockey as a child, and having to quit only because the ball became a blur to the goalies in the diminishing light. As I say, Wednesday's game was VERY well attended. And more than a few players have tapped their toes and rubbed their hands along the bottom edge of the OVERT suggestion box, signaling a not so subtle request for and extention of Wed. night games. OVERT too, may reconsider its decision to end Wednesday night games while the good weather and enthusiasm continues. We will keep you posted.

Next Game Saturday morning at 10:30 AM.

I have arranged to have the US Air Force fly a nuclear weapon at low altitude over the OVERT grounds as a tribute to the weekday season gone by.

Fellow OVERT roller hockey payers, I hope this email finds you all well. It's Labor Day, a day that my father taught me to regard with the deepest suspicion. But even though I am bourgeoisie, I have only the highest regard for my proletarian roller hockey brethren. It is in this spirit of unity then, that I sadly announce the end of summer, and the last Wednesday night OVERT roller hockey game. It cannot be helped. Due to conditions beyond OVERT's control the sun is setting much earlier, and I am informed that it will continue to do so for several more months. I encourage every man-jack of you to take advantage of the last mid week out of doors roller hockey tilt of the '07 season.

Wednesday precisely at sixish o'clock in the evening.

Saturday games continue as usual until all the leaves have fallen from the trees.

Anyone intersted in playing Monday nights at Highland? We're looking to fill up the roster for 4 teams. This is non-contact, competitve, and very fun hockey, playing for the prestegious Miller Cup. All are welcome! Please reply ASAP. Price (about $220 for 13 weeks) includes beers and refs. We have committment from 4 quality goaltenders.

On a side note, sorry I've been away for so many weeks. I'm planning on being there this Saturday, though. Look forward to seeing everyone again!

Cheers,

Kevin

I've never played in a roller hockey league. Like you guys, my roller
hockey games were held on school yards. But the website operated by the
league a couple of my friends play in this season is pretty slick.  You
should check out the video highlights. The videos in the archive have
accompanying music.

Enjoy.

The weather on weekends is getting lousier.  See you guys next summer
for roller hockey?

Justin-
     Thanks for your interest in the Stacked Deck Hockey Tournament.
I've
attached a flier with all of the details.  Please let me know if you
have
trouble opening/viewing it.

We are full on goaltenders but still have several spots open for
skaters.
We're pretty much taking all skaters who are currently on division 7
and 8
teams in the GSHL.  If you're not currently in the GSHL, you'll need
to call
me at 206 769 2465 so we can discuss whether or not you might be the
appropriate skill level for the tournament.

Ignore the mail-in part of the form.... it's too late for that
obviously.
If you want to skate, i'll need the following information:

name
email
phone number
Current team
positional preference

Payment is due tomorrow (Friday) at the rink prior to your first
game.
After you send in your information, I'll do a random draw to assign
you to a
team and email you that information so you'll know the time of your
first
game.

Cheers,
Steve

First off, I wanted to thank Pete for getting me to the hospital earlier today. Although the doctor wasn't helpful at all, I'm glad nothing is terribly wrong, and at least I got some Vicodin out of the deal.

For those who weren't there, I had a complete elbow dislocation after I went down on my right arm. I'm pretty sure a lot of you that were there got a glimpse of my bone sticking out of the back of my elbow. The doctor claims that this isn't really possible, but the internet and my own direct observation seem to indicate otherwise.

Obviously I won't be able to make it to the game for a little while, but I'll definitely be back out there as soon as I can. In the meantime, I'll be enjoying taking it easy with my pain meds. Play safe, everybody.

I am looking to purchase a few sets of wheels from hockeywheels.com and wanted to see how much interest there would be in getting a group buy together. Respond if you want to participate and what you would like to get. Here's what I am looking at (the quantities are in sets of 4):

3x 80mm Labeda Gripper Extreme

2x 72mm Labeda Gripper Extreme

I would highly recommend these wheels, but check out the site to see if there are other wheels you'd be more interested in. They have excellent grip and are still holding up well for me. I would estimate that I should be able to get about eight days of skating on them. Last time I ordered from hockeywheels.com they came out to $4/wheel shipped with free ABEC 7 bearings. Hopefully if we get a decent order together we can get this price down a bit and still get free bearings.

I would like to place this order sometime next week, so please respond ASAP. If I get any responses, I will email them to see what kind of prices we can work out and get back to everyone.
