Exactly. My concern if we have too many players is the lack of ice time for everyone. There are ways around it though, but since it's just for fun I think 2 goalies + 12 skaters total (so 14 people) would be a good minimum. That's 1-2 subs per team depending on 5 on 5 or 4 on 4.
absolutely agree! I'd say...at the top end, allow maybe 18 skaters? That way there is ample ice for everyone...you have the ability to play it 5 aside or 4 on 4...either way, should keep either "team" rolling guys pretty regularly and keep everyone from getting too cold (or drunk...) on the bench!
Count me out. Can't do it till after mid june. Bummer.

This I can definitely get behind with. I'll even bring steaks.
I enjoy either. There've been beer league games where I've played the full 60 minutes, and games where you have a full bench and take "short hard shifts". Both have their fun.
We can make this pretty fun either way; five or four aside, wrap things up with a shootout to show off our tricks (or lack thereof...)
I've contacted 8-Rinks about reserving the ice slot, I'll let you all know once I've got it confirmed.
Updated list:

I think that's enough to kind of get us started. Anyone else who wants to come and we can just drop the price as the group expands.
So at this stage, let's say we did this...
Saturday, May 12th
12:30PM - 1:45PM
Burnaby 8 Rinks
Burnaby, BC
$223.75 + Taxes = Approx. $250.60 / 16 People = $15.66 (round up to $16.00)

Updated list:
That's two goalies and 7 skaters aside (2 subs each if we go 5-on-5). Looking pretty good to me!
Sounds great!
Also another question, is everyone above 19? Every hockey game needs to be capped off with a drink from the Stanley Cup if ya know what I mean

Thanks for organizing this...should be a lot of fun. I'll have to work on my shootout skills. I'm always a pass first guy, so goal scoring is not my forte.

I consider myself a solid skater. Everything else is a work in progress.
I'm not sure yet whether I will have the day off work but I'm interested in coming if I do. Can I be put on the list please? I will let you know as soon as I do whether I have to work

And lunch/beverages after? It would be all kinds of sweet if there was a playoff game (preferably Canuck ) being played that day to take in.
If it worked out like that, that would great.
We should get some name tags or something that we could put on our jerseys that would have our profile names on them that way we wouldn't have to go up to everybody asking who they are.

I can just imagine all of us shouting on the bench...
"Y2KCANUCKS! REVEREND MAYHEM IS OPEN, HE CAN SPLIT BILLVANSEATTLE AND CANADIAN CHRIS TO GO IN ALONE ON HANK4HART!"
woooooah now....ain't NO ONE getting around me! ELBOWS UP!!!!
Actually, on second thought, I'll be Sheriff Shanny for the game. "I'm luongoisdaman, head of the Department of Player Safe-to-tee-off-on-other-players-ty"
"As a result of the fact that the upcoming 5 games are of no importance, we have decided to suspend Mr. Canucklehead for 5 games."

Coming from the states I can bring up beer a lot cheaper ... if I bring a 24 of Heineken or whatever from Costco, I'll sell them 2 for $3 in the dressing room if that sounds good. We did that for 20 years with the group i used to play with at 4 (8) rinks.
hope you guys have fun!
