The Gobblers Are Back In Action This Week!

Hey all you hockey fans! The Gobblers are back after a bye week and are ready to hit the ice. The puck drops at 7:45pm against the dreaded Green Team. With one win against them this season, we are hoping to extend the win column again. This will be a tough game after no action last week, but it will feel great to get back on the ice. Feel free to come out and cheer; it's free and any game with the Green Team will be an interesting one! Hope to see you there!

To all those with questions about hockey, feel free to comment with any questions you may have. Interested in playing? I highly recommend coming down and checking the games out. The Thursday night league is "D" level for beginners, and it is the best place to start.

Bye Week for the Gobblers

Well, the Gobblers are getting a break this week. No hockey action for the Thursday Night Adult League as there is a major competition underway at the rink. We will be back in action the following week to take on the Green Team. This is a game to see, as the Green Team has a reputation! What kind of reputation, you ask? This team is notorious for playing rough and in regarded as one of the more physical teams. They have been one of the best teams, getting away with much more than many like, yet it always ends up being a brutal game. With the way the Gobblers have been playing this season, we are hoping that we may be able to out rough them and get a couple of Green wins. We will just have to wait and see. Stay tuned Gobbler Fans!

The Gobblers are on a STREAK! Go 2-0 in the first two games of the season!

Thursday night was another night for celebration. The Gobblers were shorthanded but came out on top, despite tired legs, as we beat the Yellow Team, 3-1. No points for me, but a solid game and close to 40 minutes of ice time. The Gobbler's are currently unbeaten after the first two games. This was a great way to come out, not to mention a great team effort with a shorthanded situation. Typically, we will skate ten players and a goalie, yet Thursday we were only able to skate eight and a goalie. Two players may not sound like much, yet with a normal ten player game, we are able to setup with two full  lines on offense and defense. With two players down, there are two less players to cycle which means more ice time and tired legs. A typical game will be about 30 minutes of ice time per player, but as that time rises, the muscles also get much more sore. Overall, great win and  a great workout. Looking forward to next week!
