Default Calgary Puckers season thread: Playoff push '09

The title may be a bit misleading as we already have 6 or 7 players commited, but our hockey team is struggling in div D (NCHL) right now, and for the winter we've decided to move this team down to E, and take the best players from the team and make a strong div D team.

The deposit will probably be due sometime in early July, and it's usually around $250, then the remainder is usually due sometime in August. the total cost is typically around $600 give or take, depending on if we go with 11, 12, or 13 players.

So if there's anyone on team ikea that wants a second team for the winter, or anyone reading this thread that is looking to play some hockey, let me know. It would be cool if we could get a good number of CP'ers on the team, maybe even make it the unofficial CP hockey team. I'm actually ordering the Flames 1989 home and away jerseys for the team, which will look pretty cool, especially if there's a strong CP presence on the team. No idea on a logo yet, but we may go logoless for the first season, as the two jersey sets wuold be $80 per player with just numbers, where as the logo costs about $300 to design and $40 to put it on the jerseys.

As for skill, we're not too picky, however we do want to make this team a strong div D team, so we are looking for some form of past hockey skill. Basically we just don't want players who are learning to skate, or that still need to learn how to breakout, pass, shoot etc. Pretty much if you can skate decently, pass, shoot and all that, then you'd be perfect for our team. Also, we prefer players that buy into the team concept, players that play well on a line with other players, etc. We've had 'one man show' players in the past, that don't care about the team winning or losing, and are just interested in doing end to enders by themselves all game, and no matter how good they are, they just end up pissing everyone of in the end.

Also, Jayems we haven't had a game since we came up with this idea, so I haven't had a chance to ask you yet, but let me know what yuor plans are for the winter, as we'd like to have you as the goalie for the div D team.


I'll keep this post edited with players that have verbally or financially commited..... Also, if you have commited in any form, just lat me know what position you'd like to play...

Keep in mind, this idea is new, so the spots that say filled are just people from the other team have expressed interest, so there may be more spots availible then it looks like.
