Fellow Tourney Players,
This is the location where you can post best wishes or best curses for the tournament. (please be smart about your comments...This site is like the morning paper to my mother...haha)
Captain Bone
The teams are made, the sides have been chosen and the ice times have been booked. This tournament is well on its way but wait….all good times entail a certain degree of costs. In this case, the cost to green light this tourney is approximately 2 550 281 won. This includes three 3 hour ice times, 1 regular ice time, a scoreboard for all games, a tourney party, a referee and a trophy. At 42 players, we could technically cover our costs if everyone paid 65 000 won but if more than 2 out 42 players decide to not show up for the tourney (a strong possibility considering our past tourney no-shows) then we are now in the red. So, we are setting the tournament fee at 75 000 won. This will include a minimum of 4 games for every player and 5 for the best two teams, a party with food and drink and your name engraved on the tourney trophy (if you win.) If you break it down, the tourney's third place teams' personal costs would be 4 games for 60 bucks (at normal shinny price), food and drink for only 15. For the tourney first and second place finishers it would be 5 games for 75 bucks (at normal shinny price) and a free dinner. All in all, it’s a pretty good deal.
You must pay your entry fee BEFORE you step on the ice for your first game. Please don't make us run-around town trying to collect tourney money. If a player hasn't paid by game two he/she will be disqualified from the remainder of the tourney. Captains it is your responsibility to pick up the money for your team. We need 75 from everyone that is 1 050 000 won per team (75x14 players). Please note that if you play one game or you play 5, it is the same price. Of course, some exceptions can be made but none that swell of booze or broken alarm clocks. The profit for this tourney will either be put towards a bigger party, put back in the kitty or maybe go towards a team trip. Who knows? What is certain is that all profits made go towards sustaining your Chiefs and your ice times.
On a side note: Captains, your duties will also demand that you make a roster list for every game. This list should include the names and numbers of each player (real names and numbers on the jersey.) A copy should be given to the ref (who will then pass it on to the scoreboard dude so they can keep game stats). Every player should wear a Chiefs red (home) or white (away) jersey during the tourney. If you don’t have one, we will provide a stinky one for you. Nobody should wear practice jerseys.
To whom it may concern,
The administration would like to extend our deepest apologies to all players who did not make it on the teams. For some, we ran out of room and for others, we repeatedly asked you to contact us so we could hold a proper draft and when we didn't hear anything we dropped some players and picked up others who were on the sub-list. We are sorry for this inconvenience and please note that we will have 4 shinny ice times in October and you are more than welcome to show-up for those anytime you desire. We'll be holding another tourney in the Spring - hopefully we'll see you in that one. Thank you for your understanding.
GAME ON!!!
The tourney is now FULL!!!!
42 players have registered for the tournament starting October 15th. There is still a significant possibility that one, two or more players will bail before the Saturday draft time so if you aren’t on the list sign up anyways because there is a good chance a roster spot will open come Saturday. This said, once the draft has started there will be NO NEW players accepted in the tourney. Once this thing is running it will go to the end.
The draft order has yet to be decided. I believe we will have small a useless-skill competition to determine the draft order. The draft will be held at the BBQ. Rene’s Team is the ‘MOKDONG MANGLERS’. Tommy’s Team is yet to be named (Team B. ) Terry’s team, also yet to be named, is Team C. The schedule is posted in a previous post on this blog but the time slots are still unknown.
Dear Captains:
The Chiefs Hockey Insider
2. Corry 'Devil Head' Day (F) He is highly skilled and can do pretty much anything out there in Chiefs hockey. The only knock on him is he seems to need someone with skills on his line.
3. Aaron 'Animal' Geddes (F) Has a very good shot when he hits the net. He tries to pick corners, which causes him to miss the net far too many times. But he’s the only one who could probably snap it from the blue line and score. Since
4. Hee 'Hai' Joon (D) He’s the toughest D we have. He has a bundle of energy and never lets up. He also has a nice low shot but he never shoots. The only knock on him is he doesn’t understand the ‘Western Game’.
Group IV GUNS. This group is very deceiving. You really need to know everyone inside and out in order to com out on top here. Some are much better than others and even more have made major improvements in the past year.
Hmmm...bring it on people!!! Playing for keeps here!!!
Up for grabs:
1. The ‘yet to be named’ Cup - Every single winner will be given an entire 15 minutes of personal time with the cup to do whatever pleases him/her.
2. The Tournament MVP
3. The Highest Points Getter
4. The Best Goalie - This is huge because the best goalie will probably win this tournament.
Next up, we need information on a few players in order to have a proper draft.
Skating
1. Can you skate?
2. Can you skate backwards?
3. Can you turn both sides?
Shooting
4. Can you lift the puck?
5. Can you snap it? Wrist it? Slap it?
Team
6. Have you ever played organized hockey before?
7. If so, how long and at what level?
8. If not, have you played pond hockey?
