The night started well enough...but as we were getting our skates on it turned out that attendance was low. Good for everyone that was playing because they got more time on the ice, not so good for cash flow.
We had a few new people there and everyone was exited. I was hoping that the night would not find us with trips to the ER like last time when Brass Blue Monkey dislocated his shoulder... I was wrong! We ended up with two people going to the ER! One with a split open chin and the other with a broken forearm...it wasn't good.
The uninjured people had fun, and the ones that were injured still had a good attitude.
It might be a while before we do this again!!
Many thanks (again) go to Growler Blue Monkey for organizing and refing the event!

The first group waiting around to get some scates. (left to right - Nancy Chaney, Tammy Baldwin, Kelly Wilson, Anna Dolezilek, Dave Dolezilek, Foo) Nancy was happy at this point and we were happy to have the Mayor come play with us. Nancy is all fun and all smiles. Even when she fell she was still cheering for the team and had a smile...even though she had a badly broken arm! |

| More people getting ready. |

Anna is happy to be playing hockey...and happy she isn't hurt yet.
Here is a movie of her dad Dave taking a really hard fall. I thought we were going to have another trip to the ER with this one. The whole place shook! |
|
| Looks like a fight waiting to happen! |
|
| Foo and Casey face off... |

Dan Dwyer took a nasy fall on the ice and split his chin open. He got the "glue" put on his chin
instead of stitches and it was oozing a little...now his name is Oozer Blue Monkey!!! The movie of the fall --- Watch it in slow motion...it is worth it. |
|
| Ahh...beer. |
|
| Caden had a good time...but it got a little late for him and when he fell asleep Foo helped take him out to the car. |
|
| Dan (aka Oozer Blue Monkey) and Casey show up after getting his chin fixed... Nancy Chaney was not quite as lucky! |
