Game Clock Instability Knows No Geographical Boundaries

Last night's Arc Angels/Arlington Sens game featured 15 minute periods.

The Arl. Bolts/Arl Rangers matchup featured 12 minutes periods.

Fascinating.

The Uniform Czar Speaks on the Parks teams

The Uniform Czar (nod to Junior "Spank Spank" Miller) has passed down this verdict after watching last night's games. For those unfamiliar with the Uniform Czar, his jurisdiction is complete and his judgement final in all areas related to team uniforms, aesthetic and otherwise.

The Uniform Czar has spoken.

"After seeing them for the first time, The Uniform Czar is
pleased with the uniforms of all three Parks based teams that played last night (Bolts, Rangers, Sens). Their design and quality is befitting of teams at the Bronze level of hockey. The colors were appropriate. Also interesting was the Parks house league logo printed on the shoulder of all three teams' uniforms, which adds a flavor of comradeship and unity among the Parks fellows.

Most impressive was the fact that every player of these three
teams was in their team's jersey. The only non-conforming player among the Arlington teams was the Goalie of the Arlington Rangers, who was wearing a Patriots jersey, but the colors matched and so the Uniform Czar finds this acceptable, if not completely stable.

The Uniform Czar has no comment on the visiting Arc Angels, whose only consistency was a complete and perfect inconsistency."

Thursday Night Hockey 2/12/09

Come on out to the Parks Mall tonight, where you can ride the Merry Go Round and eat food court chinese as you take in two hockey games. Puck Drops at 8:15, good seats are still available.

8:15 pm - Arc Angels vs. Arlington Sens

9:45pm - Arlington Bolts vs. Arlington Rangers

We will go ahead and assume that our Arlington-based comrades are composed of actual, real, live individuals, even though there are no rosters posted on League Lineup for the Arlington Rangers or for the Arlington Bolts.

(The Arlington Sens do have a roster posted, and appear to have played at least one game, beating the Jaguars.)

Can I make it any easier for you?

Down at the AAC,  'Yotes goalie Ilya Bryzgalov (say that three times fast) had a lumber malfunction tonight, played with a borrowed player stick for what seemed like an eternity, and the Stars still couldn't get it past him.

Puck Drops on the Bronze League Blog

Welcome to the NRH i-League (Bronze League) Blog.

First off, I'd like to acknowledge that this blog owes it's inspiration to good old BlogCaptain's weekly missives, over at the original Tarrant County i-league blog, http://eulesshockeystop.blogspot.com/

Ever since a few of us defected over to NyTex from the Euless DPSC, the i-League experience hasn't been the same without a weekly recap of the games and standings providing some color.

We do have a new leaguelineup website that NyTex is running. The idea is that this blog will help supplement the leaguelineup site. http://www.leaguelineup.com/welcome.asp?cmenuid=1&url=nytex_i_league&sid=141922673

I'd like to have feedback from all the teams, let me know what you'd like to see here in this blog, and I'll try to come by and introduce myself to the team coordinators, so we can get perspectives and news from all the different teams. I hope everyone is willing to participate, my role will just be to keep this thing out of the ditch.

Who am I? I'm Dickie Dunn, and I'm just tryin' to capture the spirit of the thing.
