Las Vegas Gobblers In Action - Slideshow

Here are some pictures from a game in January when we played the Black team. I am unfortunately missing my grey socks and had to use the black socks that night. I threw in our logo that was created by one of our teammates so the Las Vegas Gobblers could be viewed in all its glory! There is also a picture of our team at the bench during a break since it was an interesting shot. The pictures are taken by my family since it is not possible to take them myself of myself playing. It is a good way to see the facilities and spectator view plus you can get a glimpse of what the actual game looks like. Hope you enjoy the slideshow (click the "slideshow" link to view).

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!

Another Win to Finish The Season!

With another season just around the corner, our final game was a chance to finish this season strong. We played the Blue Team, which consists of mostly female players, and won 6-2! I tallied another assist, but again no goals. I felt great during the game and felt as if it was one of the best that I have played. It feels great to get another win, but it feels better to get started with a new season. I am entering my second year playing and I am even more addicted then when I first started. I encourage everyone to come down and watch on Thursdays; free admission for all. It's a great sport and a great workout. Feel free to ask any questions you may have.

The Gobblers Win! Finally Beat The Green Team!

This last Thursday game was a very exciting game with a lot of action. I played for my normal Grey Team (AKA: The Gobblers) against the Green Team. The Green Team has always been a tough competitor as we had never beaten them prior to this game. The final score was a crazy 8-6! A high scoring game and a great work out. Many players scored multiple goals and assists. I tallied a point earning an assist, but no goals. The goal streak has not returned yet, but next game is another chance. I will have to try my other pair of skates next week, as I did not feel comfortable this week. The next game is on Thursday the 16th and is a playoff game. The season is almost over, so a new season is right around the corner providing another chance for the Gobblers to strive for first place. As always, we play at the Las Vegas Ice Center (see map for location: http://www.lasvegasice.com/Map/tabid/133/Default.aspx) and admission to watch is FREE! Come out and watch some great ice hockey in Vegas!
