Erratsjockstrap, This place is full of banter, one of the worst culprits on this thread is Shea Campbell who doesnt even play but takes me micky out of the people who are, just banter. I dont know the guy from Adam (Sorry cudnt resist!)
I know alot of the people on the list because i play a lot of hockey. You werent excluded because your not part of the clique, you didnt get your name down in time thats all. Shame you feel that way but take nothing away from the guys who have set this up, if they pull this off it will be a fantastic occasion!

I agree Rich, this is going to be a fantastic occasion, not just for Ice Hockey Fans from Notts/Sheffield... but also the fact that we will be raising money for such a meaningful cause. There are no Clique's, like many have said, it's hard not to know people from Rec hockey... Like Rich, Heja and Zukuwskifan... I've played Rec for Nottingham and Sheffield so i'm destined to know many of the players... I know 17 of the Nottingham roster!!! It wouldn't matter to me if i didn't know anyone, aslong as i do my bit for the Rink Rush Cancer Research team then i'm happy enough

I feel that 'first come first in' is about the only way to do this (for the inaugral game) as most regular contributers/readers to the Cage will jump in here daily and it seems about right that regulars get the chance to play. I myself do check out this site daily as I get lost in all the discussions if I leave it too long. Indeed people will no doubt leave me a message and I'll miss it. Thats why so many in the team no doubt know each other really. But I think what the guy is saying is let's not let this be a 'closed shop'. But I,m sure theres plenty of time in future , we hope , that people who have not made 'the cut' this time round that will be given a chance next time round.Hoping this can be a regular annual event you guys?
I can't skate so can't take part but also know I'd be gutted if I missed the team.
What I can do is offer, like many others my time off the ice. So I'd like to not be 'flamed' for offering services that individuals don't particulary want , its a game for all and indeed first and foremost a charity event. So I've offered help which I hope people will appreciate , wanted or not its there and now it seems people do want to meet beforehand which I think is nice and if I can help great. But it's also not taken as an offence if my offer is turned down by Rink Rush as the best is needed to put this show on the road (opps ice)........So I have offered to string together a programme.Yet it depends on how good a production is warrented.........If I don't do it I'll see if I can get a printer sponsor in some way when back off my hols..................And heres hoping that it can be a time when all can make it. Silly really those nice summer holidays are going to get in the way....blast.

Sorry to break the unbridled happiness (and before someone goes and says it, I am in NO way opposed to this event occuring), but this is getting very, very touchy, feelly for my liking. What does my opinion matter you're probably asking, well it might not matter one bit, but this is all getting very cliquey as I see it. As a long-term Panther (hence the username), I wouldn't mind a crack at this, but it seems that 75% of those signed up know one another personally/socially and have managed to drag this thread out to ten pages, promising to do this and that during the game to their mates. You'll probably not give a hoot about what I have to say, but please bare in mind that as someone who has always traditionally viewed this site as opposed to contributing to it, the closeness (bordering on sickliness) of this even to me puts up huge barriers in terms of participation, and that is why I will probably be sadly giving this event a miss. I guess that you'll say the rosters are nicely near-capacity, but maybe there are a few more guys (and girls) like me who feel majorly put off with all the 'cliquey' stuff. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news on this one. OK I'll bite because this post has made me furious, which is why I've signed in as me rather than as part of The Rink Rush. What's touchy, feely? The Rec hockey circuit is hardly massive, alot of the players will know each other. As for your accusation "but it seems that 75% of those signed up know one another personally/socially" sorry but that's rubbish. We posted the same message on both forums at the same time, the rosters we're going to be filled on a first come/first served basis. I'm helping organising the event and I honestly do not know 11 players out of the Nottingham roster, and about 3 people on the Sheffield one! (and yes, I do play rec hockey). This is going to be a serious game for a trophy, it's Nottingham v Sheffield for gods sake! Also what you don't see are the e-mails we get. The guy who wants to play because his brother died of cancer, the mother who wants her son to be mascot because cancer has affected her family so badly. The main focus of all this is to raise as much money as possible for Cancer Research UK, period. I know you're entitled to an opinion but personally I find it offensive. Here Here, that offended me too. This is personally the best idea for a charity event ive ever seen. we are all going to raise so much money! And you know what? ? I know NO-ONE on the Roster. I've Never met or spoken to or probably seen anyone, and that goes for players and off ice staff. No-one! And i cant wait. I dont feel like im going to get there at a training session or the game and sit on my own left out while everyone talks in their little groups. It will not be like that. This is going to be loads of fun raising a hell of a lot of cash for a great cause. It doesnt matter on your skill either. Ive been trying to get into playing ice hockey, but making slow progress, i go skating lots and stuff.This is the stepping stone i need. So the charity game will infact be my first ice hockey match...if you look at the number of posts i have too, you will notice im a Cage Rookie. stop being paranoid! So get a grip! Sort your life out and get your name down, clown! seems at the moment people are stuggling with the 6th, i have plans for 13th but i can cancel 27th is looking the best. Lets hope the NIC will give us a date we want and they should let us have the arena pad for free, seeing as its a HUGE CHARITY event. Anyone up for a skate on friday? haha Oh yeah, Crazy Kenny's .com should be able to supply the jerseys if need be, they did the rink rush ones i belive. they sell them to you at the price it costs them and put a URL on the front, they Do NHL style jerseys, so If we had our own logo or a panthers one we could stick that on the Pittsburg Penguins home jersey(advertised as the 3rd jersey on crazy kennys) as that is a Black with a gold and white trim. or possibly even better....boston bruins?i prefer the pittsburg one...but then again im a pens fan
