Game times....


SCOHA 2005/2006
I am the goaltender for the Flyers and this is my first year with SCOHA. I am enjoying the hockey very much and have a great bunch of guys in our dressing room - however I feel it necessary to point out an area that has become an issue for myself and other team members. I understand completly the narrow allotted times for games and can understand if a team is slow to start and ends up loosing time at the end of a game due to this. We have been involved in 3 - 4 games so far this year where the game has been called due to the time constraints. In each and every occassion it has been the fault of one or more of the following 3 events. 1. Zamboni late in re-surfacing. 2. On-ice officials late in showing up for start of game. 3. On-ice and off-ice officials having lengthy conversations with respect to some obvious calls. This for me is more of a concern rather than a complaint. Perhaps the 'powers that be" can look into this for correction. Thanks for taking the time to read my post. p.s. the score from our last game by the way was not 4-1 Leafs but rather 2-1 Leafs - with our team having possesion of the puck in the opponents end in a 1 goal game and with 22 seconds to go only to have the game called for time was very frustrating - item #1 & #2 was the reason for our start time delay! Regardelss of the reasons would 22 seconds make that much of a difference as to effecting the following game (the Zamboni still had not come out to re-surface after we got back to our dressing room)?

Bob - you'll be glad to know - NO MORE Curfews !!! As of this week , the management of the QuadPads has agreed that there will be no more curfews (major delays such as serious injury may overrule) but absolutely no more 20 seconds or 3 minutes being lost. We will play our full games.
