Latest TSHA Street Hockey Report
The TSHA Street Hockey Report goes out by email every Monday (or thereabouts) to keep members informed about how games went and also any news and information relevant to TSHA members. It's also part of our regular email RSVP system used by the TSHA for members to sign up for games and know when and where our next game is. In other words, you can read it here, but if you want to be sure to know if you should head on down to the park to play next Sunday, sign up on our Join page .

Street Hockey Report for Tuesday 10th January 2012
1. Last Friday Night Lights Hockey (by Dave)
Last Friday night's hockey was hindered a bit because for some poorly scheduled reason, they were fixing the playing surface, so there were patches of tiles near one end of the rink that made it so we couldn't have a full game.
Not only that, but one of the workmen decided to drill through his hand or something, which didn't affect us too much, but it added to the overall ambience of disorganization of the night. Some ambulance guys showed up and stuff.
We divided the rink into two horizontal sections, and played two games, with four teams of 3 guys. Chris was the only goalie on deck... well, the only human goalie. We formed another goalie out of pads and sticks, and he turned out to be a solid performer. You can see a picture of him at the bottom of the page here .
The other rink used the small practise nets, and then winners went to the game with larger nets and losers went to the smaller nets.
It wasn't astounding hockey, given the space limitations and balls flying into each other's games. But on the upside, the numbers worked out so everyone was pretty much playing constantly.
Afterward, there was a consensus on not going out for drinks, as it seemed most people were in post-new-years-holidays-recovery mode. I don't imagine that will last.
The rink will be patched up for next time, so the next Friday Night Lights hockey should be bigger and better than ever. Check out this link for the schedule .

2. Hockey Hiatus (by Dave)
Remember that Sunday Hockey is still on hiatus, until we find a good spot.
Until then, do not head down to any park on Sunday afternoon expecting any hockey will be there.
