This Weeks News:

People are talking!!!, this week I contacted the Master’s games people in Timaru confirming teams for the South Island Masters Tournament, I received an email back saying they were expecting us to contact them and to have a good trip down south this weekend!!! I didn’t mention our Migration to them…Then I had a look at the Tekapo Alpine Springs website, there’s curling on this weekend and a hockey game between 8 and 9pm……that’s us…..The Dunedin Ice Hockey site has a note about the Aardwolfs Playing the Beasts and the Ducks, on Monday the 20th.

In the news this week: the NZIHL Grand Final is on in Christchurch on Saturday the 8th September at 4.45pm Tickets will be $20 an Adult and $10 per child. The Canterbury Red Devils are playing the Auckland Botany Swarm. Tickets available from s.j.harrop@paradise.net.nz

Heard on the Grapevine: two plastic Ice surfaces have been purchased from France and are coming to New Zealand, one is going into Wanaka and the other is heading for Auckland. More information on an equivalent system is available here. I don’t think this is the gentleman importing the rinks into New Zealand though they are the NZ agents for a system, have a look at the Your Ice link. Some interesting prices there.

See synthetic ice being used here on YouTube.

DJ Dave our foreign correspondent in Canada made an interesting observation over the week, the scale of things is different in Canada, he just sat the Ice Hockey Referee Entrance Exam along with 50 others.
