I went to check out a game of Bandy here in Oslo recently. For those of you who haven’t heard of it before, Bandy is a sport which is similar to field hockey, but played on ice. The rink is huge, as are the goals. There is much less contact than in ice hockey and […]
I helped organise a social hockey trip to Naseby this winter. We were greeted with an awesome snowy experience on arriving in Naseby, including snow during one of our games! My should was too munted to play, so I refereed it instead.
Anna, Harry and myself road-tripped from Dunedin to Alexandra to do a night skate on the Manorburn dam, then headed to Poolburn reservoir the next morning to skate on mega thick ice at Poolburn reservoir, then finished our journey by travelling through to Lake Tekapo for a hockey tournament between the Killer Keas (our team) […]
The Killer Keas ice hockey team, bronze medalists in the Dunedin Ice Hockey League Autumn season. Thanks to Jaydee Cabral for providing the photo and Anna Craw for taking it.
The field hockey team I usually play for (The Soft Sticks) had no opposition at our last game. So they played a game amongst themselves while I took some piccies from the shade on the sideline – I’m still recovering from a dislocated shoulder. The temperatures were searing (26 deg. C I think) so there […]
Our uber awesome, wonderful and truly incredible professional ice hockey coach Jenel Bode is leaving 🙁 Hopefully she’ll be back next year though 🙂 Rhyan McMillan and our uber awesome coach Jenel Bode For her goodbye bash, she organised a goodbye party in a cave at Longbeach. It sounded boring, getting stuck in a cave […]
The Beasts (my ice hockey team) headed to Stewarts Gully Mini Golf. The facility is owned by Clive Murphie, a top bloke who is also heavily involved with the Aardwolfs Ice Hockey Club who we played against in Christchurch. As it says on the label, this is “Mini Golf”, so basically big golf shrunk to […]
I’ve gotten a lot of questions about GimpCam and NetCam recently. To save me feeling like a broken record, here’s a selection of pre-prepared answers … Yes I did look like a gimp while wearing it No I’m not going to lend it to you to wear to school No it doesn’t have X-ray vision […]
I’m now famous! My rather crappy videos have made their way onto the What Now TV show. I received an email from them the other day asking if they could screen some of my videos of the recent New Zealand Ice Hockey National Championships on their show. Pity I didn’t know before hand as I’d […]
I’ve been trying to avoid over-running the site with hockey videos from the Nationals, but this one definitely deserves it’s own post 😛 [MEDIA=39] I’ve also posted a higher resolution version here.
Thanks to Abby for the excellent video work. I’m number 98 with the black helmet and white gloves. Download Aardwolfs vs Jurassics video | Download Aardwolfs vs Albury video
The New Zealand National Ice Hockey Championships are on in Dunedin at the moment. I’ll be videoing a few of the games to post on here. I’m not bothering to play as I object to the ~$200/game fee!
The Dunedin Beasts team which I’m playing for in the Southern Ice Hockey League made a trip to Queenstown to play against a Queenstown team. We lost, but had heaps of fun en route 🙂
Photos of my ice hockey team the Dunedin Beasts.
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 […]
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 […]
Woot! Got a lift back to Dunedin from Christchurch with my old hockey coach Jenel Bode who I’m hoping will take a job with the Dunedin Ice Hockey Association as a professional hockey coach/skating instructor. We stopped off at the Moeraki boulders on the way. Yvette and I took her up onto the chemistry department […]
I went to Alexandra for a round of the Southern League ice hockey championship and took some photos of the Maniototo vs Queenstown Stars game.
The A-grade University of Calgary Intramural hockey finals of 2005. My friend Janay was competing.
I’m back playing inline hockey again! I’ve joined the Calgary Phantoms 🙂
Here’s some videos from the finals of the University of Calgary Intramural B-grade and A-grade non-contact hockey leagues. First up are the Stubble Jumpers (the winners). I often played at lunch time with a bunch of these guys and they were pretty pumped to win the B-grade. [MEDIA=27] The next video is of the A-grade. […]
Somehow I managed to end up on the University of Calgary physics hockey team! They were short on players so I signed up and dragged along Janay with me. We had the stunningly geeky name of “Team Group Velocity”. The team was a hotch potch of various levels. We competed in the University of Calgary […]
I played in a social outdoor ice hockey tournament in Tuscany, Calgary with some guys I met at the Olympic Oval a while back. The event was great, ice wasn’t the best as a chinook (easterly wind) was blowing through, but it was a heap of fun and I hope to compete in an event […]
Well what else do you do when it’s -15 degrees outside and you have an itch to play hockey? The idea of the rink came about one day when my roommate (flatmate) Gregor and I were sitting round talking about how his old roommate had built a rink in their backyard. So I was like […]
Mike Boyle took me to see a Western Hockey League (WHL) game featuring the Calgary Hitmen at the Saddledome in Calgary. The game was very exciting, lots of big hits, lots of skill and a WAY higher level of hockey than I’d seen before. Unfortunately the NHL lockout was on at the time so I […]
The Dunedin Vixens (aka Dunedin Aces women) were an awesome team. Unfortunately an extra Y chromosome ruled me out of joining 🙁 Although I did play in goal for them once as an honorary woman. The photo below is from their 2002 journey to the South Island Regional Inline Hockey Championships. Clockwise from top left: […]
