Studies have shown that the degree to which a hockey player is able to intimidate his or her opponent on the ice is proportionate to the size of his or her mohawk. Just thought you'd be interested in that bit of trivia.
Dude, I'd come watch if it wasn't a 2 and 1/2 day drive. =P Sounds like fun. What possition do you play? In this part of the world where it's not very cold we play indoor soccer instead.
love it.
Lee - that is very usful information. I'll be sure to utilize these psych out strategies prior to getting on the ice...then after the game we can evangelize.
Michael - c'mon. A two and a half hour drive isn't all that bad...ok, I won't make you come to a game. I see how it is. Oh, and I'm a right wing ~ woot! Also, I've played some indoor soccer myself. I was the only girl on the team; I was the only American on the team. I learned how to really play soccer quickly!
Joey - you comin' to a game?! ;)
Well a two and a half "hour" drive wouldn't be so bad to go see a bunch of ladies try and crash each other's noggins into the glass while flailing their hockey sticks about, smack talking with the other team and generally trying to smash the puck into the other team’s net. But I’m afraid it’s a two “day” drive from good ol’ Portland. Somehow I don’t think having to leave on Thursday morning to see a Saturday game will jive with my work schedule. ;) But have a lot of fun!
I like Michael's description. Nothing communicates the Gospel like a hip-check into the bleachers. There isn't a Lamplighters boxing team, is there? ;)
Don't mind me. As you can probably tell, almost all of my hockey experience has been limited to smacking around a big poker chip on well-ventilated table.
Whoops, meant to say day - that wasn't lost on me. ;)
And I do like the description of womens hockey - your use of very expressive language makes for a vivid picture.
Hey Lee - that version of hockey takes skillz too. Mad skillz - props to you, Boogaard.
- Do you play church league? If so, is it really dirty? I love dirty church hockey...so hilarious to watch!
- What's the league level? Is it fairly solid hockey or just beginners?
- Do girls even HAVE contact leagues? I guess it wouldn't matter, seeing how women seem to always play hockey like girls...i.e. in a women's league, I've never seen a blind crosscheck into from behind, or anyone get lined up from center ice and sent through the glass by a vengeful goon.
- Do you allow scrapping if it's a church league? The last church league I was in had more beatings than a Ukranian talk show.
- How long have you played hockey?
- Are bullet points kinda stupid with these kinda questions? Just wondering.
Oops! Back to paper writing!
I mean to say "into the corner from behind" English suffering..
Go hockey!
I have taken the liberty of sending the photo to a forensic lab for analysis. They find that, based on the tooth count, this cannot really be a hockey team.
A Christian girls' hockey team. Who'd a thunk?
"...Then they present their buttocks to the sky..."
HA HA HA! OH SSSSSNAP! STILL LAUGHING!
HAHAHA, sorry - excuse me; must compose myself...
Lyndon ~ my heart races just a little faster any time I see bullet points (numerical or otherwise!) no matter the content.
Define dirty... You may have to just come and watch a game, eh?
Ok, pretty much beginners. Yeah, beginners. :)
Definitely a no-contact league...but I've been told it's bound to happen. Yeah, I should know. Heh.
It's not a church league...it's the Womens Hockey Association of Minnesota--we're the only Christian team in our division (if not the entire association).
Not long...not long at all. :D Wait--does floor hockey count?
Frank ~ woot!
Craver ~ tooth count is deceptive...we wear mouth guards and face masks. And I do have one chipped tooth; does that count? ;)
- Okay. What is it about bullet points exactly? I must admit that I chuckle at that!
- It's dirty hockey? Praise the Lord!
- I WILL come and watch a game...SOME time! That will take a fair amount of planning and orchestration, but it will happen one day.
- Not a church league? Well then you're team needs a slogan. here are some proposals:
"Lamplighters: Putting the Cross in Cross Check!"
"Lamplighters: Go to Heaven, Skate like Hell!"
"Lamplighters: Blessed are the deeked..."
"Lamplighters: On the Ice to fight the Flames!"
"Lamplighters: Our manager wants to talk to you..."
"Lamplighters: Spreadin' the truth, one elbow at a time!"
"Lamplighters: Masquerading as Angels of Ice!"
"Lamplighters: Saints on Ice!"
"Lamplighters: You've been touched by a TULIP?"
"Lamplighters - Warning: This Jersey may become empty at any time..."
"Lamplighters: 1 Samuel 17:43" (You'll never read that verse the same again!)
Okay. I'm running out of steam here.
- Floor hockey always counts. Bring it!
Okay. I'm taking a break from filming today to shout out a little comment! Wo0t! I'm a famous actor now...HA! In a GCC movie! LOL! Autographs are free for my B-Bap friends! YEAH!
Oh, and I DEFINITELY have to agree with Lee! In the past, God verified his message "by signs, wonders and various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will." (Heb 2:4)
BUT
In these last days, his message comes accompanied by the testimony of biblical mohawk. (biblical in quantity; i.e. "Friggin HUGE!" - Editors note in the NHT)
woop woop
STILL LAUGHING! HA!
