Great to see a bit more interest to start, do we have any more potential goalies in the mix this time around (thats where we ran into trouble last year).

Also BurningYears, you need your old avatar back. I hardly recognized you!

As for days, when the time comes to start playing again, should I make sign-up lists for a couple of days in the week and we go with whatever days received enough interest? Or just stick with set days again?
Im too scared to tamper with this since our winning streak, damned superstitions you'd think I'm a actual NHL goalie or something haha. conroy it is for now!

How is the level of play? I play in a floor hockey league and I am just curious as what the intensity and skill level is? I ask because it is a heck of a drive for me out there, but I love ball hockey. Thanks

It's pretty competitive, but in a good-spirited way I'd say.

Generally we play to have fun, but we definitely play to win as well.

We don't really tend to have set positions as people can move up/down when they want to, but more often than not we cherry-pick (ok fine, mostly me).

I consider the game a failure if LGA and BurningYears have not smashed at least one stick each to pieces.

To be fair, I don't smash my sticks so much as they explode when I shoot.

Or his inability to score for weeks on end, only to suddenly go Stamkos on everyone for a day. BurningYears clearly is shooting up some roids throughout summer, only reasonable explanation.

In my defense, I spun around and fired, and you were in the process of falling when I hit you I believe...

I felt pretty awful after that though.

Of course! There were only a couple of games where we probably had too many people show up.
