Get Ready for the 2013 VHL SEASON!
Please read below for info/requests for this upcoming season:
1. If you havent already, please take the Survey to help me out with some items for this upcoming season.
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/BH2XQ2M
2. This year, as mentioned earlier, the first week of games will be played over two weeks so you will have one game either on Friday Feb 15(week 1a) or Friday Feb 22.(week 1b).
Both those games will be at 10:00pm Friday.
3. Partial reason for Item#2 is it will make it easier for me to collect the $ for registration.
IF YOU CANNOT PAY IN FULL PLEASE EMAIL ME! Some of you already discussed so you dont have to email me but anyone else please let me know so I dont have to get into personal stuff infront of everyone. ALSO, if you say you will pay the remainder in week X please do and dont make me come to you week after week. A guy who did this to me last year is no longer playing because of this. I am not doing this as a business I am doing this to have fun with my family and friends and friends of family and family of friends!
PLEASE NO CHECKS! Just go to your bank and cash the check you plan to give me - dont make me do it.
4a. I will go into more detail later but please remember this is a
LEAGUE OF FRIENDS where everyone knows each other or should eventually get to know/play together. If you cant play as if it is was a normal pickup game THIS INCLUDES CHOPPING PEOPLES STICKS - with your friends please do us a favor and don't play.
4b) DO NOT COME TO THE GAMES HAMMERED!!! Have respect for other people etc no one wants a guy stumbling with his stick swinging and falling all over the place. I feel responsible in a way for people who I brought to this league. Anyone who comes to games like this will not be let on ice. If it happens twice you do not belong with us.
5. Of course included in the price is all the shenanigans and hijinks like Pizza for the playoffs, Provolone Trophy Commemorative VHL Tshirt at end of year, Bash etc etc etc
6. This year, instead of just at the Bash, will be starting and running the
50/50 draw throughout the year with a
progressive jackpot as it grows with the running amount listed on this site. Winning ticket will be drawn at VHL BASH June 2013. More details about this later.
7. The Draft should be complete by beginning of next week with first part of Schedule.
Please note - there are many people who want to play with their buddies - sometimes these are a group of 3 or 4 but you all have to understand every year there are a few sets of 1 or 2 new guys that come on board that know just one person. We try hardest to put them (2 or 3) on same team together. After a year or two we expect they will know enough players to have no problem playing on other teams. Other than those situations we can usually, and for the most part do, accomodate 2 buddies together but when its more than that is too difficult with such a small roster - sometimes we have started the league with as little as 8 skaters on a team. In addition there are guys 2s and 3s who all drive in together from an hours drive. Im sure everyone realizes we should try to keep them together too. There are other situations but you get the idea and hopefully understand however, as I said, most times 2 buddies is not a problem going forward.
Ok - enough on that - I hope I didnt confuse!
8. Please dont forget to do the survey
