Zamboni Issues

Tue, 05 Apr 2011 00:00:00 GMT

We have had a communication from the rink that they are experiencing a major problem with the Zamboni. A specialist has been called in but may not have the fault rectified until tomorrow at the earliest.
However, in discussing the issue with the rink managerement the plan is to have the hockey finish a bit early and do a hand scrape then flood with a hose to at least remove the major divets from the ice surface. As a result we may need to wait a bit for the ice to freeze and it will not be a perfect (normal) surface.
The decision has been reached where we will play tonight and will monitor the surface to make sure it is as safe as possible for our members, and we ask that you make your team aware of the issues.

Noarlunga Training

Tue, 22 Mar 2011 00:00:00 GMT

Some Nationals training will also take place after the pickup games. See Rob Wheelwright or Kim Shapley for further details.

Nationals Update

Nationals Update (From Saxon Hooper) Here are the FINAL session times for nationals. Please pass on to your members so they can arrange flights etc.. These are locked in and there is no scope for change. There is a massive shortage of ice time in Sydney and Im lucky to get this much time (cancelled hockey games, public & school sessions and ice dancing sessions for me).

Saturday 30th 5:00pm -> Midnight (maybe more if we need, hopefully not)
Sunday 1st May 7:30am - 10:30am (Finals)

Which means a lunch time presentation starting at 11.30am I guess (kick on at Panthers after for those hanging around).

So far confirmed teams as follows:

NSW - 1 Mens Elite, 2 Mens Intermediate, 2 Womens
SA - 1 Mens Elite, 1 Mens Intermediate, 1 Womens
ACT - 1 Mens Elite, 1 Womens, Working on 1 Mens Intermediate
QLD - 1 Womens, 1 Mens Elite or Mens Intermediate (working on both)
