Players needed for Rec Summer Hockey Team

[Telgip33]

Hello all,

The beer league team (Warthogs) I run here in Calgary is going to try playing Summer Hockey this year and I'm looking for a few more skaters to fill out the team (already got the goalie). We are going to be playing in the WinSport League (WCHL) out of the new rinks at COP and all the games are at the same place so that's nice. The Warthogs are the "Bad News Bears" of the Beer League hockey world, so if you are looking to win every night this might not be the team for you. However if you are interested in having some fun while getting a good skate and maybe enjoying a beverage after the game, then this is the team for you.

Some info on the league & team:

• Non-contact League
• 7 divisions, with seeding - so we play teams at our level
• All games at the WinSport rinks (COP)
• Games played Sunday - Thursday (no Sundays on long weekends)
• No games start later than 10:15 pm (around 75% of games start earlier)
• 14 games + 1 guaranteed playoff game
• Round Robin playoff format in 2nd round
• No games on Stampede Week
• All-Star Game and Skills Competition
• Season starts first week of May, ends the end of Aug.
• 2 refs and score keeper
• Full stats and website
• Standard hockey rules
• The Warthogs run an 18 skater plus goalies roster

The cost will be $420 for the season, which includes 2 team jerseys you keep ($300 in fees, $60 each jersey). Minimum 50% of fees needed before Feb. 15th 2012.

If you are interested or have more questions please send me a PM.

Cheers,

Carl

I've got a couple of questions about skill level and age for the team so I thought I would toss the answers up here.

The team is about people that like to play hockey and have fun, but don't take the game or themselves to seriously. If I was to put the Warthogs in a skill level division wise I would say around Div-5 maybe low Div-4 on a good day (based on the 7 division the league is shooting for). Also not that it matters but our team is a good mix of 20 somethings up to 40 somethings, so age is not a concern as long as you are over 18.

Cheers,

Carl
