Posted on behalf of my team's captain
Hello all,
I run a beer league team called the Warthogs here in Calgary and I'm looking for a few more skaters to fill out the team (already got the goalie). It’s a small 12 team league (
www.cnchl.ca) and the games are all at the same arena so that's nice (even if it has the smallest dressing rooms around). The team is kind of like the bad news bears of the Beer League hockey world......so if you are looking to win every night (or even a couple times a season) this might not be the team for you. But if you are interested in getting out for a good skate, having some fun, and maybe enjoying a beverage in the bar upstairs after the game......then this is the team for you.
Some info on the league:
- All games are at the West Hillhurst Arena (1940 6th Ave. NW) in the Calgary Non-Contact Hockey League (CNCHL)
- Games are 1-1/4 hours long (3 stop time periods of 15 minutes, but last period can get cut short if the game is running long), non-contact (slap shots allowed), you must have full gear. The games have 2 ref's and a score keeper.
- Games are on one night a weekend, either Friday night (8:45pm, 10:15pm, or 11:45pm) or Saturday night (8:30pm, 10:00pm, or 11:30pm).
- The season is 27 games long including playoffs (with 2 weeks off over X-mas). The season starts the weekend of Sept. 10th & 11th 2010, and wraps up the weekend of Mar. 25th & 26th 2010 (awards and league party follow the finals Mar. 26th in the bar above the rink).
- The cost will be around $550 - $580 for the season, which includes 2 team jersey you keep (once I have the cost of the jerseys I will finalize the price). Also included in this price are two 1 hour ice times for team practices before the season starts.
