Dunedin Bears

Well, we didn’t exactly set the league alight, but we had lots of fun and fought our way galiantly to last place in the Autumn 2007 Dunedin Ice Hockey League B-grade. Here are some photos taken by Joe Sales of my team the Bears. Thanks to Joe for letting me post them here.

I’m the one in the middle of the photo below. I was pretty wrecked by that stage and enjoying my breather whilst leaning on the boards 🙂

Dunedin Bears between periods

This is our goalie, Jaimee Wood, she was totally awesome all season long and was the star of our team. A future superstar goalie in the making.

Beasts in the Easton Cup

I played for the Dunedin Beasts in the Easton Cup. I also dragged our superstar ring-in Jenel Bode to play with us 🙂 Unfortunately she got injured and only played one and a bit games 🙁 We got totally thumped in every game. Was lots of fun though and I can’t wait for the rest of the season!

The communicator

My dear friend Debbie Jordan won an award recently for “outstanding communicator” at the NZIC conference in Rotorua. Here’s the poster she presented at the conference.
