For Oldtimers, What Goes First: Foot Speed, Stickhandling Ability or Simple Math and Memory?
Once upon a time in the "W", There skated a team whose sweaters were blue, But when their wins totalled four, They could keep score no more, _____ _____ ____ __ ____ ___ ___!
So…What Was The Final Score?
The Blue team played tonite in Elmira. Classic Monday-nighter. End to end action, lots of goals, a big hit between two of our guys. We played the red team. What a game. At the end...it was classic oldtimer hockey...we couldn't agree on the score. With 30 seconds to go, we couldn't decide whether to pull …
Dawson Lights the Lamp for Orange
This post represents a first on rinktales - video! In this particular sequence, the Orange team from the W proves too much for the red team. Sneaky smooth moving in off the point, Dawson drills one low stick side on the Moose in a game last Thursday night. Smooth. Red and Orange played to a …
Shinny Armageddon II
Alright, there really is one thing as bad a the one-goalie scenario I wrote about previously. It's when you get to the rink for your 10:00 PM game on a Monday night around 9:40 only to find out your game was at 9:00 PM. This happened to one of the boys on the blue team …
Blinded by the Twine
A few weeks back, I had a chance to score where I was wide open at the right edge of the crease with the puck and the goalie was down on his back. His glove was on the short side but all I had to do was shoot it over him. So that's what I …
Christmas Eve
Do you remember the feeling you got when you were a little kid on Christmas Eve? That excited, jumpy, nervous, happy-as-hell, can't-wait-until-it-finally-gets-here delirious feeling? I'm glad there's old-timer hockey, with the start of a new season every year about this time, to replicate that feeling for grown-up's. The W's new season starts tonight. And yes, …
The Orange Team Winter 2010 – A Team for the Ages
Perhaps the last part of the title of this post should read "...- A Team of Old-Agers" given the way we played last night. But I digress. This isn't about last night's game, with it's massive comeback derailed just short of a tie in the dying seconds. This is about the Orange team, a great …

It’s About More Than Just the Hockey…
Heard in the dressing room following my game in the WOHL last Thursday night (and proving, with a chuckle, that truth is stranger than fiction): Story #1: As a youngster, one of my teammates indicated at the age of 9, he let off a bunch of firecrackers in his closet at home. He had taped …
Chasing Larry
I felt great before last Thursday night's game. I didn't over-eat at dinner, had a quick nap before the game, went hard in the warm-up and felt like all the ingredients were in the mix for having a great go with the dreaded white team, the team Larry plays for. However, in the end, the …
