Re: skates, gloves, helmet, stick: I'm inclined to go in that direction vs. full on equipment. This is a casual affair. I hope it will not preclude healthy competition but it should be fun above all else.
I'm a goalie myself. I'm going to be suiting up completely. If we don't have another goalie confirmed would you like to be the 2nd?
I wish I could but unfortunately I have been roughing it for a year or so on my own during school and my gear is difficult to transport without a car (i'd be bussing). I can carry skates stick gloves and helmet very easily by contrast.
That day works for me as well though (provided it's about $10 or so).
Throwing this out there, I (or any other Carleton student) can book ice at the Ice House at Carleton at a discounted rate during non-prime hours (Mon-Fri 6:30am-5:00pm) for around $140 I think.
Don't go counting yourselves out just yet not much has been decided.

I've been there. Should not be more than $10 if anything.

Thinking an outdoor rink in Orleans at present but unconfirmed. Read response to SensForLife11 below.
The more the better.

Personnaly, I like it. You know, going to Carelton is a heck of a lot easier for me than making it out to Orleans. Nice, central location. It's also a safer bet since who knows if we can trust the extended forecast? Also, if you could wrangle the 4pm time slot on the 20th some of our younger friends might be able to make it without having to ditch (too much) school and avoid the police (). If it is $140 all we need to break even is 14 people to show up and lay down $10. If more than 14 show up the price decreases for each person. If less than 14 make it I'm prepared to cover the additional cost.
Would everyone be cool with that?
Free ODR in Orleans w/ attendant risks OR (at most) $10 each @ Carelton for the guaranteed ice?

i'm down. just need to steal gloves from my friend and a helmet. never played ice hockey, lol, but i am so down.
I'd definitely be down for 10$ Carleton guaranteed ice (and quality) and more chance to damage goalie pads on ODR's. You have your 2nd goalie if we play at the Carleton rink.
I'll swing by tomorrow and confirm that it's $140 and ask if everyone would require full equipment or just the basics (stick, helmet, skates) if we were to play hockey.

Maybe could set up a more informal time/place thing for ODR nights. Come as you wish type of thing. Especially if we've got a couple guys here managing a rink.
Based on Ottawa's insanely bipolar weather, I highly doubt we'll see regularly running ODRs before January 1st.
EDIT: It's 4 degrees right now....and we won't have consistent freezing temperatures before the 25th/26th...takes at least a week or two to get a rink fully operational with decent ice...we're looking at January 5th or so I'd say. If not later.
Once again, Ottawa remains a cursed desolate place.
