Attention hockey furs!
12 years ago
So one of my bi-weekly things is hockey, I go to play quite a bit!
I thought it'd be nice to see how many furs we could get to play together, and have noticed a decently sized following through the hockey furs page.
So I've gone and started spreading the idea of a furry hockey meet, right now there is no date, and the availability for a position is limited, here's what I know right now and what I'm looking at.
September/October/November weekend date, Saturday or Sunday. If it works out better may do it the day before MFF, this depends on how many people I have interested.
Location will be "Crystal Ice House" in Crystal Lake, Illinois. It is a fairly large facility, they have 3 rinks and the ice is well taken care of. They also have good rates on ice rental.
It will be a 2 hour scrimmage. If anyone wants to run the score clock or "Ref" then let me know,
The arena will require you sign a waiver. Hockey is a fast paced sport and you can get hurt, that's why it's there.
Ice House rules requires it be NON CONTACT - not that I worry with this regarding furries too much, but this means No Checking! Obviously its hockey and there will be incidental contact, and getting in someone's way is totally viable still, but no taking a run at somebody and looking to lay waste to them. At my sessions I lean in to others a bit.
FULL GEAR IS REQUIRED TO PLAY! Participation is not restricted to gender.
There is room for 24 skaters and 4 goalies. It will likely be $10 or $20 to attend, which will cover the cost of renting the ice. Cost will depend on number of attendees. The rules will likely be self enforced, it is more than likely that nobody will 'officiate' and I would have to check with the ice house before even having that, as they may not allow it. That means icing, offsides, out of play, and high sticking will be enforced by the players, and it will be up to the players to keep it fair.
This will be a just for fun thing, I love hockey, and long to know more people that share it as a common interest. If you are interested in taking part, contact me, leave a comment on this journal.
If you are willing to get the time off work/whatever, then let me know. If you have thoughts, leave those too.
