***************Update********************

Ok much to the delight of 7uongo I have had to end the ESPN subscription fundraisers to Canadians. The lady in charge wrote me and said she was mistaken when she said they could accept Canadian orders. Dont worry the Canadian orders that were submitted were approved but I can no longer accept anymore Canadian orders. I can still accept US orders though. So if your stateside and still interested PM me.

Update 3-19-10
Season starts 2nd Sunday in April....Our First Inter Squad Scrimmage is tonight... First live action most of the team has ever seen so it should be interesting. My wife will be video taping. If any hilarity ensues I will post the vid here!!

Thanks again for all your support!!!! Alot of the guys and family members want MoonDawg T-shirts... Hopefully we can get them cheap enough that I can send all the people who have helped out a T-shirt.
==================================

First Off I want to say Thank you to Jiri and the mods for letting me post this as I PM'd them for approval first.

Most of the people who know me on these boards know I am from Oklahoma, married a Calgarian, fell in love with our Flames, and pretty much learned most of what I know about Hockey from here. I love this site so Thanks ! Anyway I finally decided to find a beginners league to start or join a team. I am getting tired of my wife's 10 yr old cousin's team dominating me when I come to Calgary for Christmas. All the beginners league's teams were full so I decided to start my own Team. The team is made up mostly of guys I have been competing with or against since I was playin tee-ball and pee wee football. We love to compete and consider ourselves pretty athletic. Most of us played college sports on scholarships, a few of us got offered scholarships in 2 sports, 1 of us got offered in 3 sports. ( that was me , I just wanted to throw that in to one up my friends.

)

However back to Hockey! I am constantly talking hockey and trying to get my friends to commit to playing. Finally I got everyone involved and we checked out the price to play. It was pretty expensive, especially for beginners. Then I realized everyone but me will have to buy all of their equipment. After the math I realized that it will be quite tough to do this without some help somewhere. It pretty much comes down to , if we cant get either the equipment or the league paid for we probably will not be able to play. That simple. I felt bad since I got everyone excited about playing so I looked into fundraisers and found a few. We eventually teamed up with Espn.com and ESPN the magazine . Simply put , we sell so many magazines, they pay for our league!

I called the ESPN and asked if I could sell ( and would espn) ship to Canadians since I do have family in Canada. They said Yes to both accounts.

I know there are tons of sport enthusiast so anyway here is the deal.
We offer 2 yr subcriptions for $40.00 usd. Thats 52 issues, one every 2 weeks. It also includes Espn insider on ESPN.com. The insider alone is 2 bucks a month if you buy it for 2 years. They usually sell the magazine for a dollar an issue on ESPN.com . So it is a pretty good deal.

The Kicker is this: We really want to play hockey. We get a $ amount per every subscription we sell. We sell so many magazines , it pays for our league. If you buy a subscription from me I will donate 5 dollars per to Calgarypuck. Yes , thats right $5 dollars per subscription we get from CP.

So not only would you be helping Me and a bunch of newb Hockey players, learn the sport of your great country ... your also helping CP.

How it would work is this. You want one , You PM me . I can do one of two things. I can accept payment Via paypal and send your info to ESPN and your magazine is sent to me .

Or I can send you out an Email from my team ( which is the OKlahoma MoonDawgs) page at ESPN. This will come to you and you will pay ESPN directly through their website.
If you have neither and Credit Card or Paypal... Don't worry I can still get it taken care of, just PM me.

I really would appreciate your help! If not , that is Ok . Let me say that fundraising is quite embarrassing to me. I absolutely hate it ! However, if this is the difference between getting to play or not playing , I will do it .
If I didn't use CP , then I wouldn't be exhausting every option I have.
If you would like to donate or help in any other way please pm me as well! Also if you know anyone else who would be interested, please send them this way!

I know this is long but Thanks for your time!!!
