Early Ice

Well, the Phils are still winning and the Mutts won't lose. At least they are playing good right now. Big series coming up this week against the Mutts.

The title?, Nutmeg got approved by the USCA for early ice. Compressor goes on next weekend and we start the process on Labor Day. Should have ice by the 6th or 7th. Getting all our ducks in a row. Mrs. JHcurl is handling the schedule and already has a bunch of time set aside for various folks including the US wheelchair team (Bronze medalists from the Worlds).

Early ice means early GNCC news. The rocket scientist has a new men's team lined up and they will be in town for some practice. One of the Canadian transplants is lining up women for a "tryout" type event and hopes to form a team for the playdowns. That should be interesting. The wheelchair team is coming in for three days I think. I get the job of lining up some games for them.

Also having an ice tech clinic in September. Lots of fellow ice men coming in. Have to stock up the ice shed with some supplies (beer) to keep them happy as they help us scrape and pebble and shovel snow.

Info on the early ice can be found on the Nutmeg site if you are interested.

Later,
