VHL Prizes, VHL Bash.

Dear VHLers and Friends of the VHL,

For those who were around last year you’ll know that at the VHL Bash we have a 50/50 Draw as well as miscellaneous/unique VHL theme prizes to give away as part of that draw.

We do this to allow me to add to the float in the hopes to give me some breathing room to run the league in the next VHL season.

Last years VHL Bash and Draw were organized with no time to spare though I’m sure everyone who was there would agree it was a blast and the food was great. So, even though we are only 10 days from this year’s Bash, I would like to take this opportunity to ask if anyone out there, or anyone you may know, would be able to donate a prize to increase our prize chest for the 2012 VHL Bash Draw.

For Prizes, well, considering we will have shirts etc coming out of our ears that night, the best type of prizes would probably be miscellaneous gift certificates or Bottles of Rye or Vodka or something of that nature.  If you know of anything or would just like to donate something like a gift certificate for a prize on your own, it would be greatly appreciated.

I probably should have started this (Prizes for VHL Bash Draw) ball rolling months ago to ensure we could have had more prizes and sold more tickets before hand but unfortunately life happens and a lot of my time was taken so here we are in the Semi Final week at the same time working on getting the Bash organized

Running this baby (League of Friends) is not easy – especially when every year some curve gets thrown at us and it ends up costing more that I had budget for. From the first days that I envisioned building this league, back in winter of 2008, my first priority was to always make sure that money wouldn’t be an issue for my friends, family, friends of family or family of friends etc to play in. I wanted to make it the cheapest, most fun organized/unorganized hockey to play in. Hopefully doing these kinds of things (draws etc) will help us to keep it that way for a long time.

Thanks for anyone who can help out. Just shoot me an email if you can.

Thanks

Gianni

2012 VHL PLAYOFF INFO

2012 VHL PLAYOFF FORMAT


NOTE:
The Times for the Semis have been moved up to 8:30pm and 9:30pm

By now you should know the dates and times for YOUR playoff games.

If not, I will repeat them here below:

Ok, so now that you know the date and time of your semi final game lets discuss how the playoff games will differ than our usually more laid back regular season games.

1. Referee: Yes, there will be a volunteer referee at both semi-final games.  Big Dub Wes will be doing the 9:45 game and Bob will be doing the 10:15 game. These two friends of ours are not there to stop any stupid stuff, that is up to all of us so lets make sure nothing stupid starts. What these guys have volunteered to do is dropping the puck at center ice at beginning of game/period and after goals as well as have the final say in any disputed off sides and or goals.  Their word is the final word. Don’t bother arguing.

2. Clock Management:  As you should be aware by now at the Quad Pads, we get curfewd after our allotted ice time of approx 50 minutes flood included - they don't care if its a playoff game or not. Most of the leagues do some kind of round robin total goals or wins BS! Knowing the curfew issue, we would be in a bit of a quagmire should the games end in tie at end of regular time, so what VHL management have decided to do is to cut one minute from each period as well as cut the pre game warm up by one minute from two minutes to one so guys, be aware, get warmed up before going on the ice as best you can and remember only one minute for pre game warm up.  The allotted 3 minutes we gain from this we will use, in case of a tie, for Execution Style Shoot Out – description below.

3. Execution Style Shoot Out: If after regulation time the game has ended in a tie, both teams will each get one puck at the opposing teams blue line. 1 shooter for each team takes the puck from there and shall attempt to score on the goalkeeper simultaneously. If Team A scores on their first shot and Team B does not, Team A will win. If neitherTeam A or Team B score on their first shots, or they both score, we shall go to a 2^nd round. This will continue until a winner is determined. Execution Style Shoot Out could end in one round or it could end in 10. The 3 minutes should be enough to determine a winner.

Good luck and Let the best team Zucchini win.
