Greetings DIHL players,
The first week of competition provided some good action. Thanks to Joyce, Jackie and Bronwyn for scoring, the game stats and standings are attached. Team reps, please record the player numbers and ensure that, if possible, they are kept the same each week. This makes it a lot easier for the scorers.
I know some aspects of this league are different from previous DIHLs so I’d like to emphasise a few points.
1. The no-break between periods was a surprise to many; the goal was to fit more playing time into the hour time slot by introducing stop-time for the final two minutes (regardless of score).
2. If you can’t make it to a game, let your team rep know well in advance. To keep team sizes reasonable I had to turn away quite a few players after the deadline. The players who didn’t make it on a team have been put on a reserve list to fill in for missing players. For this to work (and to be fair), team reps must contact me when they need an extra player(s) – I will then contact a reserve. Please do NOT organise replacements without contacting me.
3. MVPs for each team have been selected from a vote in the warm room (see starred names in the standings page). Selected players get a credit towards a beverage in the warm room.
4. Time slots for training sessions are available Sunday morning from 9-10am and 10-11am if anyone wants to organise them.
Thanks to everyone who helped get this off the ground! I’ll be away next week, so see you for Week 3.
Pete
