To make room for a large corporate event we have moved the 7/25 games back 35 minutes. The new times are reflected on the schedule. We will send out an e-mail reminder of the change after the ice is back. All but the top two seeds are already set so the first week of the playoffs is posted. We will know the order of the top two seeds for the second week of the playoffs and will schedule the games accordingly.

The Rink will not be down as long as originally planned so we will start up on July 25th instead of August 8th. The schedule has been updated.

Congrats to white for bombing the bombers in the Stonely cup 7 - 4. Woody had a zillion goals and won the MVP. Tracy Baily and Mark Robertson picked up their first cup in a zillion seasons. Todd Oliverio scored a goal and won the cup in his first season. Good job guys.

The all time reports are updated. The reports are the bottom ones in the top group. Rob, Ryan and the Persails have all been in at least 40 shoot out games over the years. A few guys that haven't one a cup yet and are still active are Jayson Lepage, Pete Ruvolo, Ken Bollweg, Conor Farrell, Tom Miller and Isreal Salazar. Check out those all time stats. They are pretty cool.

We have a few spots open for next season. We'll be picking teams Friday evening so sign up because we start next Sunday. I'm not fixing any more typo's in this post.

December 16th, 2009 [5:25 PM]
Tealers win - Mad Max not so mad any longer

The Tealers team spotted yellow snow a couple goals then went on to win 4-2 on a late goal by MVP captain Max Larin. Great job guys. It was another fun game to watch. Kudos to John Harned for keeping yellow in it. John nearly pulled a Hextall and won the MVP on the losing side.

The schedule is updated with the first week of the playoffs. The games are all do overs of last weeks game. Get it right this time.

Prepare yourself for the return of the chrysalis of the monarchs after the first of the year.

On 11/15/09 we had to move the 4:20 game between teal and yellow to 8:35. No other teams were affected. All teams are full.

Red won a shootout game over Orange four to three. Mario Runco won the MVP by scoring a couple goals and also scoring one in the shootout. Don't forget to sign up for next season before September 1st to get the early bird discount.

It seems like the league just started but it is playoff time already. Check the updated schedule for game times.

The rosters and schedule for the sumer 2009 schedule is posted. The links are in the nav bar to the left. We still have 9 openings for skaters.

Congratulations to Grimace of Pain for winning the Stonely cup. The MVP was Derek Moore who had the game winning goal and an assist.

Congratulations to the Purple and White teams who will be playing in the finals on 4/19. Check the schedule for all game times.

Calling all current and former OHL players it is time for registration again and this time the rink is going to reward you for signing up early. If you sign up on or before April 30th then you will get the early bird special of only $285 for skaters and $165 for goalies. If you sign up on May 1st or later the cost will be the regular new price for our league, $310 for skaters or $180 for goalies. If you need to make two payments for the season the payments will be $160 for skaters and $95 for goalies and the second payment will have to be made prior to the playoffs. Employees of the rink will need to talk with either Justin or Paul about playing in the league. We would like to close sign-ups on May 7th so please sign up early. If you would like to help to run the clock during the season to earn rink credit please talk with Steven. Be aware that this credit can be used for future seasons but not the current one.

For this upcoming season there will be new jerseys that will be turned in at the end of each season (please make sure to turn in your current jersey as we will use those as backups). Please sign up early so that we can get these jerseys as soon as possible. There was also talk for this upcoming season of capping some of the top players in the league but decided against it for now hoping that they will police themselves.

The season will run from May 10th through August 16th. There will be no hockey on May 24th or July 5th due to the holidays.

Draft night will be on May 8th and if you are interested in being a captain please contact Steven or Tey.

Derrick Stasica to Blue from White
Tim Giblin to White from Yellow
Mike Ruzica enters on white
Chris Madsen to Yellow from Cobalt
Garry and Forrest Hartman enters on Cobalt
Tom Fitzgerald to Yellow from Teal
John Cleland to Orange from Teal
Alex Enty to Black from Yellow

The teams are set. You can click the roster link to the left to see the teams. We still have room for more skaters and two goalies. Please bring a light and a dark jersey in case we run out of a particular color.

We tried to accomodate all of the team requests we could. If you have an issue let us know and we will do our best to fix it.

Known only as red, the red team shut out the very good green team 2 - 0. James McKee won the MVP with the shut out making many key saves while not allowing any rebounds. A big congo ratz to the red tea. It was a great game by both teams!

Don't forget to sign up for next season before Friday when we pick teams. It is looking like 8 or 10 teams.

Red and Green are in the Stonely cup final. They will be playing thier game on January 4th at 8:30 PM. The other teams will play on December 21st as planned but the games are pused back one time slot from what we had on the original schedule. Check the schedule to see when you play. I'm pretty sure I didn't mess up the schedule this time.

The week 2 schedule is posted. Registration is open for next season. Click the sugn up now link for more info.

The schedule has been updated. We moved the two games we missed to the end of the regular season. To make room before the end of the year we scheduled a game on 11/23 which was a bye week previously.

We are now full up on skaters and goalies. The rosters have been updated. A few teams look like they have too many players but they just have players splitting a season so don't freak out

The draft is complete. The rosters and schedule have been posted. Please plan on bringing a White and a Dark jersey to the game. If you only have one jersey bring it and someone else will have a jersey for you if you need it. We still need old jerseys to make full sets so please turn in up to three jerseys for $5 each. We will be using these jerseys for the upcoming season.

The past champs, all time records and Cup winners links to the left have been updated.

The Huts defeated the Jedi's 9 - 3 tp win the Stonely cup. Mark Vogel won the MVP by scoring a zillion goals and assists. Rysan Welsh, John Whalen, Rob Ardoin and the absent Jeff Stone all won their first cup in the past 20 season. Congrats to those guys. We'll get the all-time stats updated between seasons.

It's that time again. The playoff schedule is updated. Click the links to the left for the OHL schedule.

John Gibson gave me some info about an upcoming tournament. You can get more info on the tournament here.

Because we have so many people listed on our distribution list we are getting labled as a spammer so we have to change the way we do e-mails. We will continue to collect e-mail addresses for our use by captains etc. for notifying thier teams. We also have totally seperate web based mailing list that was populated with our entire distribution list with data as of 4/30/2008. There is a link to the left in the nav bar to add yourself to this list. We will not be adding anyone to it. It will be up to you to add and remove yourself from the distribution list. When we send out e-mails using the list it includes a link you can use to remove yourself.

The links below are all updated with the team rosters and schedules. The jerseys are in but the socks didn't make it.

I have removed all Houston.rr.com e-mails from the OHL database. I didn't blanket copy them over to comcastic.net. Send us an e-mail with your new e-mail addresses.

It was Teal over green by a score of 4 to 3 (I think) in a game that went back and forth all the way. Kevin Szafron paced Blades of Glory with two goals and won the MVP trophy. Dave Grant finally won a cup after like a zillion seasons. Congratulations to Teal and all the teams in the OHL. We'll see you next season.

Green and Teal will be playing for the Stonely cup. Hopefully lord Stonely will be in attendance. The full schedule is posted.

Sign-ups are open for the Summer 08. The season runs from 5/4/08 - 8/10/08. We are off on 5/25 and 7/6. You can call the rink at 281-486-7979 or sign up in person.

The ties are all beoken and the matches all set. Grab your gear and head to the rink. It's the OHL playoffs. Anything can happen!

Last night, during the late Novice league game, John DiMari, in net for the Yellow team, asked for a time out, and indicated he was going to be sick. He went off the ice and was attended to by several brother players who are firefighter paramedics. They said call 911, which we did immediately. They arrived and transported John to Clear Lake Regional where he passed away. John's family in New York has been notified, as well as his church family in Galveston. No word on services yet, but when I find out I will post and email the information.
Please remember John as the friendly guy he was, and know he was doing what he loved, among people he counted as friends.. Jeff

The Kickapoo Warriors defeated Necros Zool for the Stonely cup. Necros Zool couldn't overcome their funny name even with Connor Proposing to Bekah before the game. Is it Becca? Who knows? Who Cares? She sure is cute though. Congratulations Connor and B!

Jeff is standing down as Commissioner and Steve the stat man Berenzweig is taking over. This should be a good change since Steve sees many of the games and is already involved in a lot of the OHL activities. Congratulations Steve!

We are considering making a change to the Jerseys. We are going to look at reversible jerseys. Because of the increased cost of reversible jerseys we would probably collect them at the end of the season. We will get a couple demo jerseys and let folks try them out to see which ones people like the best. There would also be no more socks. I'm sure most people have a billion pair of socks already so getting a pair of socks for a new player shouldn't be hard for us to do. These are just some of the ideas we are throwing around. Next season we will have socks and jerseys to give out like we normally do.

The playoffs are in full swing and we have four teams still alive. Next week Kickapoo will play Mandan and Cobalt will play Necros Zool. The updated schedule can be found on the links to the left.

There is a thread in the message board discussing the splitting of the league. Check out the comments and add your own if you wish. Please try to be nice.

The OHL playoffs are in process and will resume on 11/25 after Thanksgiving. Now it is time to open sign-ups for next season. The price is going to remain $295 for skaters and $170 for goalies. The season will run from 1/6/08 to 4/13/08 and will be off on 2/3 (Super bowl) and 3/23 (Easter).

The following is an explanation of information we will be gathering during registration. It is not a promise that we will do anything with the information if the data does not support any action.

We have been hearing various comments from people about the level of play being greater than it has been in the past. Some of that is related to new players and some is related to players improving. Because of this we are going to try something that we tried once before about five years ago. We are going to ask everyone when they sign up if they would like to play in the upper division of the OHL, lower division of the OHL or if they don't really care either way. When we tried this in the past nearly everyone signed up for low. If this happens again there will be only one division again. We feel we need to have an even number of teams in each division so we will probably have six teams in one division and four in the other division. No division will get better ice times and both will play for their own cup and have their own playoffs. Every player in the upper division will NOT be considered better players than the players in the low division. However, an upper division team would probably defea t a lower division team most of the time. For those of you not familiar with the current season we pretty much had six upper teams and four lower teams. There was only one time a bottom four team defeated a top six team all season. The divide between the divisions would probably be greater than we had this season.

We want to make clear that it is OK to say you don't care what level. Once we see who all is signed up we will see what we can do about splitting into divisions. We can't promise anything because the last time we tried this we didn't split the league. We're going to try it again because of the number of requests we have received.

The rosters are complete. Check the links to the right under Fall 2007 for your roster and schedule. The SCNHL teams were picked as well. When I have the rosters I will update the SCNHL area.

We will be selecting teams on Friday evening so please sign up before then. Don't forget to sign up for USA hockey because we will not be able to give you a jersey if you don't sign up. You can check this page to see if BAHHA has received your registration. I you are not on this list simply bring your printout to the rink. If you forget to bring the printout we will be able to look you up online. You can even be the ultimate procrastinator and sign up on-line at the rink. We can't afford to have people playing that are not signed up with USA hockey.

There is a novice class this Wednesday at 7:10 PM. It would be cool if all the new guys could make this class so we can get a better feel for your rating.

Congratulations to the Gruut for winning the cup by a score of seven to one over Purple Haze. The all time cup winners, player records and the hall of champions are updated. They can be found on the nav bar to the left.

Don't forget to sign up for next season. We start on September 9th. A link for sign up info is to the left as well.

The registration for the fall season is open. You can click the sign up now link to the left for details.

The Gruut will be playing purple Haze in the finals. The complete schedule is posted. Good luck!

The schedule for the third week of the playoffs is set. Good luck to everyone. It's the rubber match in the series between Orange and White.

The schedule for the second week of the playoffs is set. Both of the rematches from the previous week were won by the losers from the previous week. That means the top two seeds have to play each other in the late game. That's going to be a good game!

The schedule for the first week of the playoffs is set. Only the 4th and 5th games are elimination games. The first game next week is a rematch of a game from last week that saw White win 6 - 5 after having a 6 - 1 lead. A big thanks to Steve for tracking all of the team penalty minutes for us to break the ties in the standings.

T-Bone Toms will play the Extreme Tots on Wednesday June 13 at 9:30 PM for the Quinn Carafe. The 3rd place game will be the Peeps playing the Ligers. That game should be flippin' sweet! The next season starts on June 20th. You can sign up at the rink or call 281-486-7979.

The playoffs are set for the SCNHL. The playoffs are a repeat of last nights games but the time slots have changed. If that doesn't make sense check the schedule.

The schedule is done. I wanted to give the captains a chance to let me know if they wanted any particular time slots and wanted to get their team names. You guys may have to help your captains out with their beer team names. I don't think they know their beer.

For my fellow Michigan Tech grads: In heaven there is no beer. That's why we drink it here.

In the past 45 minutes I have updated the all time player win loss records and the all time cup winners page. These can both be reached from Steve's Stats page. It is always linked under the current season. I also created a new report that shows all of the past OHL champions and the players on those teams. It is linked below the main OHL links to the left. Enjoy!

The rosters are set and a beer theme was quickly chosen. It may be because we were picking teams in the bar upstairs at the rink. The schedule isn't final yet so I am not mass mailing the league until it is done. When the schedule is set we will fire off a note to the league. We have never picked teams this early so there will be plenty of time for people to complain about the teams before we start.

The Lucky charms won the Stonely cup over the Red Martians by a score of seven to one. Jason Maxwell was the MVP with four assists. A couple of those were key assist early on.

With one season ending another begins. The Summer season begins on May 6th and there are only around 20 spots left so sign up quick so you don't get left out.

The Space City Novice hockey League (SCNHL) is underway and it filled up but spots may open up. Let us know if you would like to be added to the waiting list. We added a section to the BAHHA message board for the SCNHL and linked it in the links to the left. Thanks to BAHHA for sharing their message board. It is very convenient to have all the message boards located together.

Have fun everyone and remember that winning is only secondary. The point of the league is to have fun and develop as a player. With that winning will come. The focus is on fun and meeting friends. We will adjust the teams if there appears to be an imbalance. We do this in the OHL as well. The better we do on the evals the less this is necessary.

This season we had a lot of people with baggage that were added to the rosters after the initial draft and that created a lot of confusion. We're sorry about that.

The Stonely cup is all Red and Green. Good luck everybody! The finals are on April 15th.

We are opening a "beginner" league for the spring and summer. The idea is to give folks a chance to play at a slower pace to get more puck touches, and not be behind the play so much.
The rink is going to have some programs starting at 7:10, so the first game will be 8:20 pm, and the second (if we get 4 teams) at 9:30 pm. If the demand is such that we need another slot, we would probably use the 7:10 one. The plan is for two 11 week seasons, the 1st one runs from from April 4 to June 13. The second is from June 20 to September 5, not playing July 4th.
Cost is $180 for skaters, $90 for goalies. It's bring your own jersey, but will have a ref and scorekeeper. It'll be three 11 minute periods, and 13 skaters per team, sorted by draft similar to OHL and HWHL.
Call 281-486-7979 to sign up.

The schedule has been updated. Check the links to the left. Good luck everyone. Only the 4th and 5th games are elimination games.

The sign-ups for the summer season are open already. Summer 07 runs from 5/6/07 - 8/12/07 and is off on 5/27 and 7/1. Sign up soon because we are afraid we may fill up early again. We may look into starting up another league on another night if there is a demand for it. We need to look around for open ice slots.

Congratulations to Jeff Ragsdale for scoring four goals in one game for a Texas Hat-Trick! This is only Jeff's second season. Jeff had to take the rest of the season off but we will be looking for him again next season.

We have taken two players off the waiting list so far so don't be afraid to get on the list.

The season is underway and all teams have been named. The updated rosters and schedule can all be found using the links to the left. Let us know if anything looks incorrect.

We ran a quick poll on the message board and went with the soccer style of granting 3 points for a win, 2 for an overtime win and 1 for an overtime loss.

We selected the teams tonight. The roster and schedule have been added to the nav bar to the left. We look forward to the new season and hope everyone has a good time!

We had to wait list between 5 and 10 players tonight because of all the late registrations. We're really sorry. We still have an opening for a goalie on the team with four guys named Chris.

Blew by You won the Stonely cup with a 5 - 4 shootout win on the 8th man in the shootout. Rod Nicholson, Josh Ringleben, Chris Madsen (Who ran the Dallas Marothon in the morning), Jim Young and Aaron Pavalonis scored in the shootout. Great job everyone. Neither team deserved to lose with both teams holding the lead at different points.

Cobalt blue will play Blew by you in the Stonley cup finals. The season began with which jersey's were the cobalt blue and will end with the stonely cup. The game times for the 12/10 games are posted to the links on the left.

The playoff schedule is posted on the web page and in the forums. Good luck everyone.

The temp unit is working pretty well and the normal units should be back online before our games. The schedule is updated. We are making up the 10/1 games on 11/12 and moving the 11/12 playoff games to the open date on 11/19.

We survived week one. Unfortunately we have to make a schedule change back to the original game times . Please go print a new schedule. Also please sign up for USA Hockey if you haven't yet. It is really hard for us to do the USA Hockey stuff when we have to keep tracking people down. Very hard and not fun.

We also welcome the afterburners to our web page. Links have been added to the left for their rosters and schedule.

The teams are selected and the schedules are updated. Please use the links to the left. We still have six openings. No theme. Please try to bring a light and dark jersey the first week. Don't worry if you don't have both because someone will have an extra for you.

I put together a quick video of the three goals. It's out on the OHL photo album now.

The game was scoreless all night until Dan Aubin the MVP scored three times. Dan put one in his net then followed that up by redirecting a goal into his own net. Not to outdo himself he scored another goal with 15 seconds left for the win. Pete Ruvolo donated a couple Aeros tickets and the rink announced that the new prize for the winner of the MVP will get their next season paid for. Everyone liked the sounds of that deal. Thank you SCIS for picking up sponsorship of this award.

You better sign up fast. I heard we are over 100 skaters already for next season. Also if you are playing in the novice tournament over Labor Day you better get signed up with the rink.

Congratulations to the Golden Eagles and the Loonies in making it to the finals. Good Luck!
The Complete Week 4 Schedule is posted.

The schedule for next weeks first round of the playoffs is posted. Good luck everyone!

The teams are selected and we still have openings. The summer 2006 season schedule and rosters are in the links to the left.

As of now we are at 107 players and need 13 skaters and a goalie to get to 10 teams. Please sign up soon so we can select the teams Friday evening. There is a link to the left for sign up information.

Sam's Club wins the Stonely cup with Randy Wison winning the Conn-Symons MVP trophy. Congratulations everyone and thanks to Advantage BMW for supplying a 3-Series BMW for Randy.

There will be an eval drop-in next Sunday the 14th. All are invited to attend. We will add drop-ins so nobody is left out. The times have not been determined yet. Next season starts May 21st so sign up quick!

Bad Santa and Sam's Club will be battling it out in the finals on May 7th at 7:00 PM. The complete schedule for that day is updated on the schedule in the nav bar.

We are down to four teams with a chance at the Stonely cup. Good luck you guys. The schedule is updated. You can click the link to the left.

Week one is about to begin. Seeds seven through ten face elimination with the remaining 6 teams playing a game that seeds them for the next weeks games. The updated schedule has been posted in the nav bar to the left.

There is a novice tournament coming up over memorial day weekend. If you are interested in playing head out to the message board for details on signing up. This is a novice level so anyone can play. This tournament is a lot of fun!

We updated rule 4B on the OHL league rules. It was last updated in February 2006 and this rule didn't make it onto the version we had on the web page.

I'm sure many of you just aren't getting enough cowbell since last season. Never fear cowbell is here!! It is here for good. There is a link to the left so you can always get a little cowbell when you need it. Explore the space...

We moved the all time stats to Steve's stats page. You can click on stats to the left. The two links at the bottom show how well everyone has done in the hunt for the cup and what every players record is.

Check out the new report to the left. It shows everyone's win and loss records all time in the OHL.

There is a nice write-up in the Pasadena Citizen newspaper this week. It talks about the OHL and Jim Young and Chris Quinn who work for the Pasadena Independent school district. There is a copy floating around at the rink. You can probably get it from Jeff. It was a nice article.

Don't forget there are still adult Hockey classes on Monday and Wednesday nights. Check the SCIS Calendar for the proper times. There is a link to the SCIS website to the left.

The Boilermakers and Chiefs have agreed to play at 8AM Sunday. Thanks you guys and thank you Mario for agreeing to referee the game.

Due to a previously schedule broom ball outing we will have to change up our schedule for next week. We can't start until 6:20 so we decided the least impact on everyone is to move the second through fifth games back a half hour and reschedule the first game for some other date and time. We are very sorry but this is out of our hands.

In addition all games for the rest of the season beginning week three will start five minutes earlier. Please check the latest schedule using the links to the left.

The first week is in the books and four of the five games had 12 or more goals. Let the rubber fly. The games were still all close in the end too. Three were two goals games with an empty net goal. The other two games were one goal games with one of those games going to a shootout. Great games everyone. Purple is now known as Crown Royal.

We filled up and ended up with one player on the waiting list. The roster are schedule is posted. Will Reed Caughey go 3 for 3? He is on a pretty good looking team with solid goaltending. Time will tell.

We have 120 signed up so we will get our ten tams. We're still looking for more players so sign up fast because we will be selecting teams Friday night.

I updated the nav bar to the left and included the schedule. It is still in its raw state but you can look at it and make sure everything looks pretty even. It is as even as I could make it. Don't tell me that it isn't even. Only tell me what to change to make it more even. In an ideal world every team would have 2 of all time slots but one. They would only have one of one of the five time slots. There are 9 regular season games. Akk I just noticed the Stonely cup game is late. I'll drop it into the middle slot and slide the other two games down. If you have good eyes you will see it says 2005 on it. The master now says 2006 but I won't update the html and PDF's yet.

Jeff Stone will become the new GM of Space City Ice Station beginning February 20th. There will be a welcoming party on February 10th in the evening at the bar upstairs. More details to follow.

Sideways won the Cup over Damage Inc. Bryan Hemphill did all he could to keep Damage Inc. under control but Jason Thorpe's hat trick and Tim Reith's game winning goal were too much. Dan Engel on the other end of the ice wasn't letting much in the next other than one nice goal by Mike Bertoja.

Damage inc Vs. Sideways in the finals this year. good luck guys! The schedule is updated on the links to the left.

Sign-ups for the Winter 2006 season are open. Click the "Sign up NOW!!!" link to the left for sign-up information.

Unlike last season all of the top seeds won. The number 8 seed nearly took out the top seed. Maybe we can talk Chris Madsen into running a marathon again next week. Great job Chris!.

I put together a DVD that cycled through various pictures of Pops playing hockey to show at the memorial. As the pictures were cycling through Don came from way across the room to thank me for making the slide show. Well here you are Donnie. I've added those pictures permanently into the OHL photo Album and included a link to them in the Nav bar. You have a wonderful family Don and your mother is such a sweetheart! I don't know how you all kept it together so well yesterday because I sure didn't. My deepest sympathies. Tey Brady

There will be a get together for Pops on Saturday December 17th from 5-7PM. Please wear a jersey from a team you played with Pops. If you never had a chance to play with Pops, any OHL or SAHL jersey would be great.

As many of you know, we lost one of our friends last night during the Silver Bullets/Puck Eaters game. Pops LaVigne collapsed while doing what he loved, playing hockey with his son, Don, and in spite of immediate medical response, was unable to be revived.
We would like to express our support and prayers for Don and their family during this impossibly difficult time.
Further information, including memorial dates, times and locations will be posted on this board, and emailed to the league distribution as soon as it is available.
Thank you for your patience and prayers.

Below is a picture of Pops holding the cup in Winter 2003.

I created a report that shows how many seasons everyone has played in the OHL since Winter 2002 and now many cups everyone has won. The most interesting statistic I saw was that of the 12 players that have not missed a season only three have won at least one Stonely cup in that time. Since I am one of the six big loser I guess I will name us all: Rob Ardoin, Tey Brady, Dave Grant, Jeff Stone, Susan Stone, and Ryan Welsh. Jeff and Susan always play on the same team as do Rob and Ryan. Dave and Tey are on the same team this season. Dave Grant has never played in the Stonely cup finals. Who wants to be on our team now?

Enjoy the report. it is listed in the nav bar to the left and I will update it after every season.

Edit: I just found a couple of pictures from the two seasons prior to when we have data in the database and Rob and Ryan won the cup the season before we started keeping statistics. The season prior to that Jeff, Susan and Tey all won the cup together the first time it was awarded as the Alpo Cup. There are links way down in the nav that show those two teams. I also added a link to the new OHL Photo album in the nav bar and kept the old one around as well. If you have any pictures you would like added let us know.

Check out the updated schedule. All games were moved back one hour and 25 minutes. It's still Halloween so I am using this graphic again!

It was ladies last night as Jen Culham netted her first goal in the OHL and Lacey turned sweet 16. Congratulations girls! Marsha Tallman had a heck of a game for More Cowbell playing tenacious D. I'm sure the other ladies had great nights as well. Rachel Feldt smashed her finger in her trunk the day before our game so she didn't play. I'm sure she felt it. Sorry bad joke. I'm sure she has never heard that one before.

The Next OHL @ AHL game is scheduled for December 17th. Check out this thread for information on how to sign up.

It was ladies last night as Jen Culham netted her first goal in the OHL and Lacey turned sweet 16. Congratulations girls!

No news is good news. We should have some news in the near future. OHL @ AHL is coming up fast!

We had eight teams and ended up with two people in no mans land. Those two players will be offered the next two spots that open up if they want them. The links in the nav area to the left should be up and working so go check out your roster and schedule. We had an incredible number of requests we tried to accommodate and I think we got most of them. Sorry if we missed something.

If you are playing in the OHL @ AHL you can bring your checks to rink this weekend.

The black team burnt the frog legs who were hopping all over the place. Neil MacNeil won the MVP trophy narrowly over Reed Caughey. Great job guys! I'll try to get a teaser video together soon.

We start next season this coming Sunday the 16th. Please sign up soon if you are planning on playing.

The updated schedule has been posted. We will begin the new season on 10/16 with no off week to make up for the Rita game and stay on schedule. Please fill out your USA hockey registration and send it in.
Don't forget the OHL @ the AHL is coming up too.

The week 2 playoff games are postponed. The plan is to push everything back one week.

The top three teams were all upset in the first round of the playoffs. The schedule for next week has been posted. Remember to have fun out there!

It's time to think about next season. Click the "sign up now" link to the left for all of the registration information.

The schedule has been updated with the game times and shows were the teams are seeded. There was a three way tie for 5th that was easily broken with the penalty minute tie-breaker. Congratulations to Mystery Meat for winning the regular season crown and doing it in style on the last night losing 6 -2.

All teams are in the hunt for the cup and any team could win. Good luck everyone!

Something happened with our web host with the hurricane so we moved all of our stuff to a new location and are back on-line. We planned on moving anyhow so we just went ahead and did it.

There are drop-ins scheduled for Sunday afternoon in place of the normal first and second games. Call the rink at 281-486-7979 to sign up. Don't forget the weekly drop-in on Tuesday nights at 10PM. That one is usually fun but attendance has been dropping since the young guys went back to school.

Also don't forget about the 3 on 3 tournament on Monday. Check the rinks hockey page for more info.

There is an adult 3 on 3 tournament being held over labor day at the rink. Tournament info

We outlasted the outlaws by a score of 3 - 2 in the finals to win the tournament at Sugar Land. They will probably have all the results posted at the tournament web page. I think photos of the event will be available later.

August 5th, 2005 [10:30 AM]

Week 1 is complete with most of the games being very close. The rosters and standings are updated. I'm sure Steve will have his stats updated soon. Don't forget to check the score sheets after the game if you want to make sure your points are awarded. It is a lot of work for Steve to do the stats and it is easier if he doesn't have to update the stats all the time.

Some of you may not be aware but there is a Adult hockey practice at the rink on Mondays and Wednesdays at 8:15. This is a good way improve your game and get some valuable exercise. You can call the rink at 281-486-7979 for more details or check their web site. There is also a weekly drop-in on Tuesday nights at 10.

A note on USA hockey. Some of you noticed that you haven't been receiving the USA hockey magazine. This will be fixed next year because all registrations will be handled on-line. We will have more details later but basically you will use the USA Hockey web site and will get a registration number and a PDF with a bar code on it that you will present to us for proof of your registration. You will maintain your own address and take the burden off us. Many times we register people for USA hockey before we know the address and some times people move and get new addresses that don't make it to USA Hockey.

We have a bit of a meat theme running with the team names this season. The rosters are updated and the schedule is posted. We have two spots open. We have 8 teams this season.

Ryan Bollweg has put together a teaser video from the game. If you would like to purchase a DVD of the complete game let Ken Bollweg know in this thread on the message board.
Sign-ups continue for next season that begins on June 26th. Sign up info can be accessed via the link to the left.

It had to go to overtime and all the way to the 6th shooter for the D-team to pull out the 3-2 win over the slashers. Russell March was awarded the Conn-Symons cup as the MVP of the game. He will get to use a BMW Z4 for the weekend courtesy of Advantage BMW. The pictures are out on the photo album under Winter 2005 then the Stonely cup directory. Great job everyone and don't forget to sign up for next season with the rink if you plan to play. The phone number is 281-486-7979 if you want to call in your registration.

A couple of Cinderella stories ended abruptly last night and The Slashers will face The D Team in the finals. The updated schedule is posted to the left. Note that we moved the finals to the middle game this season to try it out. We will have more information on the festivities for finals night later this week.

Sign-ups for next season are under way at the rink. Please don't freak out by the different divisions that we labeled upper and lower. Upper is basically what we have now. If you feel like some of the guys are too fast for you then you may want to choose lower. We will only be splitting into divisions if we get enough players where it makes sense to do so. The other thing to note is that everyone is that we are not implying that everyone in upper will be more talented that all the players in lower. Maybe upper and lower are bad words for the divisions.

All players eligible for the rebate have had the rebate posted to your account at the rink. You can use the account for a discount on the current season or you can use it for skate sharpening at the rink etc. The card should be convenient for you to use and you no longer need to carry money into the rink or go back to your car to get it.

It is summertime and another season is on the way. On Tuesday 5/31 we will begin taking sign-ups for the Summer 2005 season. We will begin the new season on June 26th. We will have Eval games on June 19th (the time is yet to be determined) for new players we haven't seen play before. You can sign up for this eval at the rink or you may be evaluated at any of the Tuesday drop-ins. We will contact any new players about setting up an eval.

In an attempt to keep everyone happy and challenged we are doing a couple of new things.

Please use the OHL registration form when you sign up. If you are mailing in your payment please include the form. If you are calling in your payment to the rink please e-mail the form to the e-mail on the form.

Week 2 is over with the number one and two seeds losing to the number eight and seven seeds. The schedule is updated. We do not play on memorial day weekend.

Week 1 is over with all of the higher seeds winning. The schedule for next week has been updated.

The playoffs begin next week and run for the final four weeks of the season. In the first week of the playoffs the bottom four teams are facing elimination and the top six teams are just seeding for the next week so those teams can all lose the first week and not be eliminated. We do everything we can in our playoff format to make it as fair and as fun for everyone as we can. Please try to have fun out there and be a good winner as well as a good loser. This is just a novice league and the focus should be on having fun and trying to improve while getting some valuable exercise.

We have decided to move the championship game to the middle game and move the other two games back a time slot to allow more people to see the championship. We'll probably have a barbeque that whole day as well. We'll figure out what we are going to do for sure later.

We had two shootouts and three other close games which is how we like it to be. A couple people had their first goals. Christopher Whitehead and Patrick Smith both picked up first goals in the OHL. Patrick got his in his first game. Now we will be expecting goals every week from Patrick! Mark Robertson recorded a hat trick on three shots in the same shift. He also had another goal for the yet to be named steel blue team to make a Texas Hat trick. John Leggio recorded a goal and an assist. One other guy that got his first goal was Danny Engel. I think Danny had two goals and three assists so it probably won't be his last points in the OHL!

Sorry for the late web updates but I had a computer crash and my roadrunner is out for the second time this month. Unlike satellite, cable will go out when it isn't raining. In order for cable reception to be better for me than satellite is we would need Noah's ark to stay afloat with all the rain it would take!!

A big thanks to Phil Fox from Das Bier Hunde for putting the jerseys together on extremely short notice! If anyone wants to add their name to their jersey or anything like that make a post in the message board to get in contact with Phil.

We still have room for five skaters so if you would like to play e-mail us at ohl@houston.rr.com so we can place you on a team

Paul Radich recorded his first goal Sunday night against the Blue Angels. Great job Paul.

Next season Starts this coming Sunday March 13. We have 10 goalies and 96 skaters signed up which leaves room for 34 more skaters. Please check this thread on the message board to make sure you are on our official sign-up list. If you are not on that list and think you should be please contact us at ohl@houston.rr.com to find out why you are not on the list. It is very easy to lose someone in the shuffle and we don't want to do that. Please contact us at ohl@houston.rr.com to get signed up. You can take your checks to the rink and ask the front desk to put them in the BAHHA mail box. We will be selecting teams on Friday.

The Wolves and Orange Fanta both played a great game but George Ashby netted the game winner in Sudden Death Overtime for the win. George also won the Conn Symons cup and a BMW Z4 for the weekend thanks to Tony Townly at Advantage BMW.

The new season will start next Sunday! Please get you payment in if you plan on playing. We are shooting for 10 teams but we are behind in our sign-ups even though we have around 20 new players signed up for next season.

Orange Fanta plays the Wolves in the Stonley cup on March 6th. Will Orange Fanta fizzle or will the Wolves get beat like dogs? The schedule for all the consolation games is listed to the left.

The new season begins on March 13. We are not taking any time off between seasons.

All youi new guys please sign up for the March 5th drop-in. If you can't make that the Tuseday March 1st or March 8th drop-ins will work. You will have to call the rink to sign up for these. The number is 281-486-7979.

We had two OT games and a one goal game plus a blowout. The schedule has been updated and the game scores are posted on the mesage board and on the standings page.

For those whose missed skating on Feb. 6th, every team got a pep talk from the commissioner reminder them that we arte all about fun, and ensuring everyone's safety. We had a player get a severe smack to the head, which resulted in missing work, and even OHL games. We cannot allow this to happen. Please be careful.

We have negotiated 5 game times for the next season, all on Sunday afternoons/evenings. Sign-ups for the Winter '05 season are underway (we already have more than 10 registered). Paypal is available on the website under Sign up NOW!!! on the left hand nav bar. We added a $10 fee to use paypal to cover the charge back we get from paypal. You can pay by check to save the $10 fee.

Winter 05 Season Information $300 + $35 USA Hockey(if necessary)
10 teams! 13 weeks start March 13th through June 12th - off May 29
Game times: 4:15, 5:45, 7:15, 8:45, 10:15

The New player eval drop-in is scheduled on Saturday March 5th at 8:00 pm. Please call the rink at 281-486-7979 to sign up for this if you are a new player in the league. You may also attend any of the Tuesday drop-ins to be evaluated. If you are in the Monday night class you can consider yourself evaluated.

There is a post on the message board discussing a possible new idea for the jerseys. It has some positives and some negatives of course. Here is a link to the thread.

The rink has updated their web page. The new page includes a monthly calendar that makes figuring out what is scheduled a lot easier! Space City Ice Station

All four of the games(Including the game that was partially played) from this past weekend 1/16 will be moved to the week of 2/13. The playoffs will move out one week to make room for the rescheduled games. The schedule to the left has been updated.

John Leggio started the new year off with his first ever goal and added an assist as well.

Mike Surber of the Blue Angels had his first goal as well - a very important power play goal in a tight game!!! Three more seconds and Paul Robinson would have had a good shot at the tying goal.

We will be doing another OHL @ AHL on December 18th @1:45PM. Our game will start at 2:30 and the Aeros will start at 7:30 against the Norfolk Admirals. If you want to play in this game please send a note to ohl@houston.rr.com . We will start a thread in the message board soon with those signed up. If you haven't done this yet you are missing a good time. Here are the reduced rate Aeros tickets before here are the prices:
Ticket Prices
$23 for Center Ice (reg. $28)
$15 for Corners (reg. $20)
$12 for Lower End zone (reg. $16)
$8 for Upper End zone (reg. $11)
In other news our long time friend Mal Symons was in town for this past Sundays games. We took a couple pictures of Mal with Tony Townley and the Conn-Symons cup. The cup is for the MVP of the OHL playoffs. Tony at Advantage BMW sponsors a BMW Z4 for the weekend to the winner of the Conn-Symons Cup.
The Space City Ice Station are nearing their grand opening celebration. We will post the details when we have them. In the mean time there are a large number of drop-ins this week. If someone wants to start a thread in the message board perhaps we could get a lot of guys to come out to a particular night. Tuesday is always well attended but the others usually aren't. With a little organization we could probably get a bunch to come out. People tend to shy away when there are only a couple guys signed up and don't sign up. If we get organized we should know who can make which nights.

With the addition of Bill Mackey and John Leggio we are now full. We moved Gary Bucholz to the Green team and put Bill Mackey in Gary's old spot on yellow. John Leggio went to the Wolves.

I'm sure many of you were very concerned for the safety of Robert Van Winkle's pets. You'll be happy to know that they are back safe. I'm sure the past few days have been very stressful for the players on Vanilla Ice.

We still have a few team names to go. Everything else is updated. We have one spot left in the league.

Click on the links to the left to see which team you are on for the FALL 2004 season and then check the schedule for your Sunday game time. Thanks to all those that signed up towards the end to help us get to eight teams. We have room for three more players.

Who thinks we should call the team named Vanilla Ice by their true name of Robert Van Winkle? Story. I sure hope they find that Wallaroo. Ding ding ding da de ding ding. Ding ding ding da de ding ding. hehe

We are doing a best to come up with enough guys to make eight teams. Right now we are short seven skaters. Please help us get to eight teams. Send a note to the OHL if you would like to sign up. There is no more time for snail mail.

We will be starting the new season on 11/21. We presently have enough signed up for four teams. Please sign up early because if we can't get teams full people may get left in no-mans land. We don't want that to happen.

OHL @ AHL: Jeff Stone has been working with the Houston Aeros again to get discount ticket vouchers and an opportunity for The OHL to skate at the Toyota Center on November 7th. We don't have all the details yet but should have them early next week. The vouchers are basically discount tickets that can be used at any regular season game in any quantity. I believe the vouchers cost less than some people paid for season tickets last year and give you the flexibility to go to any game with any number of people. Vouchers are great for people who never know when they are going to a game or how many people will be going. One more note on the AHL in general is that because of the NHL lockout many of the NHL young stars have found their way onto AHL rosters when they would normally be on NHL rosters so the level of all the teams in the AHL will be higher this season than normal.

Skate Sharpening: Tom Kuryk is sharpening skates for 7 dollars a pair. You can contact Tom for details at tkuryk@sbcglobal.net.

Space City Ice Station: We are still waiting for details of the October 21st BBQ. We are getting very close to that date so I expect to hear some details soon. We will keep everyone informed but you may be able to get the information quicker from the message boards or from the rinks web site the Space City Ice Station web site. We try to keep everyone up to date as much as possible but we try not to send too much e-mail to our distribution list as well.

Next Season: We will begin taking sign-ups for the new season when we have a better feel for when the rink will open. They are working inside the rink and making progress.

Sharpstown has cancelled the Weekly Sunday Stick & Puck and Drop-ins because of a lack of attendance. Mid November seems like a long time from now but I am looking forward to being able to look back on the time when we didn't have a rink. Did that make any sense?

Lisa at the Space City Ice Station has added a message to their web site. I won't repeat what she has already said but it looks like there may be ice in early November. We would start up as soon as possible after that.

Sharpstown will be having a weekly Sunday Stick & Puck at 2:00 and a drop in at 3:30 through October. The fee is $12 for each. There will be a free informal Learn to play hockey during the Stick & Puck.

I put together a highlight video from the Stonely cup game. You can right click and pick it up here. The file is 9 meg so it could take an hour to download using a dial-up connection. It takes less than 30 seconds for me to download it via cable modem.

The Wolverines won the Stonely cup over the Mangy Werewolves by a score of 5 - 2. The werewolves had the lead with around 5 minutes to go but Yves took over and completed his hat trick then added an assist much to the delight of the people selecting the winner of the Conn Symons cup. Yves will get to drive a BMW Z4 for a weekend compliments of Advantage BMW. The new trophy is of course named for Mal Symons a former OHL player who donated his helmet for the trophy. The OHL Photo almbum has been updated with a few pictues from the post game. There is a cropped 8x10 version of each of the team pictures. You can get any of the pictures printed at Winkflash for only two bucks for an 8x10. 4x6 is 18 cents and 5x7's are only 29 cents. I have used these guys before and they were very easy to use and the prints came is less than a week.

In the Bronze metal game the Screamin' Eagles won by a score of something like 6 - 4. It was yet another good game between these two cellar dwellers.

We will be making a DVD of both games. We'll send out the details later. We're still on to start back up when Texas Ice reopens. We will start signing people up when the first load of dirt is hauled into the rink. There will probably be a drop in on 9/19 at 6:30 PM. We'll get details on that as soon as we can.

The Stonely cup will be between the Wolverines and the Mangy Werewolves. The 3rd place game will precede the Stonely cup between the Screamin' Eagles and the Trunkmonkeys. The Schedule has been updated.

There will be a drop in on 9/5 at 3:30. We will probably start taking sign-ups on the message board pretty soon in case we end up with enough players for a drop-in after the 3:30 drop-in.

The schedule has been updated with the first week of the playoffs. Basically we are playing the same teams as last week at the same time. The drama of the night was trying to find out how many penalty minutes the Trunkmonkeys and Screamin' Eagles had to calculate the tie-breaker.

There is no game on 9/5 but there will likely be a drop in that night. We will get you the details as soon as we have them.

We are still working with the new owners but it looks like the rate will probably be $300 for the upcoming season. We are doing everything we can to get that reduced. Once we know for certain what our rates will be we will open registration for the Winter season.

Now for something fun. Since the Mangy Werewolves spanked the monkeys this week perhaps everyone else would like to spank the monkey too. If you spank the monkey over 200 MPH you will have some good times!

We just sent the following out to the OHL mailing list. If you want to get out our mailing list send a note to ohl@houston.rr.com.

Please note that the schedule has been modified to move the game which fell on Labor Day weekend. We will have the final week of the season on Sept. 12th. There will be a drop-in available on Sept. 5th, but the time is not certain yet. It should be around 5:00 pm. We will announce it on the message board as soon as we know the time.

We are moving from the Hound Pound message board, and the obnoxious pop-up messages, to the OHL section of the BAHHA message board (http://bahha.proboards23.com/) We are beginning a new level of cooperation with the Thursday night Afterburners league. We hope to get more interaction and common events going after things get going again in Clear Lake!

We are planning the next OHL season to start on Oct. 3 AT TEXAS ICE! There is work to be done at the rink, but that is our target. We will play the regular season games before the Christmas holidays, then come back to start the New Year (Jan 2) with playoffs. We expect the cost to be $300 for skaters, and $150 for goalies, plus $35 for the 2004-2005 USA Hockey registration. Unless there is a big change in expected ice costs, that should be it. Anyone interested in being a captain, please contact ohl@houston.rr.com. We will send out another e-mail when we begin registration.

We are working with the Houston Aeros for another series of theOHL @ theAHL events. These were a HUGE hit last year, and want to give everyone a shot at playing there again. Also, if you are thinking of buying season tickets, talk to Mike Krompf (mkrompf@aeros.com) and let him know you are with us. Not sure what that'll get you, other than maybe some points toward skating in our event!

There has been some discussion with myself & the Aerodrome Hockey Director of expanding the Women's Hockey league to Clear Lake Area. I plan to discuss with Texas Ice Management of the same. We need to establish the number of female skaters on the Clear Lake side that are not already participating in the Women's League. The numbers will determine if there is enough interest to support a Women's League at Texas Ice. I being a new seedling of the Friendswood area am excited about the possibility.

The purpose is to expand the Women's League for more diversity, competition, and fun. Most importantly to provide an outlet for our daughters to play, grow & compete.

Time is of the essence so please reply to me so you can be kept up to date of the progress. Reply to Mina (Nateghi) Tomaro: Mina.Nateghi@bakerhughes.com Off: 281.209.7588 Hm: 281.482.5356 Cell: 281.773.7244

I have updated the nav bar to the left for this season. The schedule will be updated with team names as they are announced but the schedule is pretty much set otherwise.

If you want to play and are not signed up please do because other people are probably also waiting to see if it gets close to six teams to sign up. If all of you do that nobody will sign up. We have the ability to refund all payments. If we don't make it to six teams we will call people in the order they signed up if we lose anyone during the season and we normally do for various reasons.

The photo album has been updated and there will be a video available. Check the message board for details on the video.

What can you expect on April 27th and early April 28th?
The move will begin at 8pm PDT on Tuesday, April 27. We are anticipating system-wide downtime starting at 8 pm PDT that will continue until 6 am PDT April 28th. During this time we will be moving servers between data centers. Some boards will become active sooner than others. Your individual experience may vary, however we ask that you be prepared for a total of ten hours of downtime. Anyone attempting to access an ezboard community during this time will be automatically redirected to a system-wide announcement page with information on the changes we are making to the ezboard network.

What can you expect after the move date?
Once the move is complete and all servers are back online we expect an improvement in speed and reliability. Moving forward, the ezboard network should be faster and more reliable.

We thank you for your patience and understanding and we are anxious for you to experience these new improvements within ezboard!

The schedule is updated and includes the teams seeding number next to the team name. This will make it easier to figure out where each team plays in the following weeks.

There is a new poll on the message board about the possibility of playing a short season while we see what happens with getting a sheet of ice in the Clear Lake area.

We are moving the rest of the season to Sharpstown. The schedule has been updated. You can use the directions below or try this link.

From the Hwy 8 and 59:
Take 59 headed North
Exit on Fondren
Turn left onto Fondren
Turn right at Bellerive
We will be on the left side From the North:

From 610 and 59:
Take 59 headed South
Exit on Bellaire
Immediately change to the right lane of the feeder road
Turn right at Bellerive (before Office Depot and Just for Feet)
We will be on the right side

Texas Ice is closing. We will keep you up to date here, in the message board and via e-mail.

Due to the situation at the rink the games scheduled from March 1st on will be postponed three weeks. As soon as we know when we will be starting back up again it will be posted and e-mailed to everyone. All of the ongoing discussions about what might happen will be discussed in the thread linked earlier in this message.

While we wait everyone can work on this shot. Right click and save as to view it.

The games are scheduled to be made up Sunday 2/8 at 8:45, 10:15 and 1:00. Check the schedule for your game time.

I added a folder named 2004_Winter to the photo album with team pictures in it. When we get pictures of the other six teams I will post them as well. There is a link to the photo album on the left. It runs on a different web server and uses port 23 instead of the default web port 80 so some of you may have trouble. If you take any pictures this season and want them posted just send them to the OHL.

Check the roster to verify your team colors. The socks didn't come in yet and we are continuing to try to contact the vendor but are not getting a response. We are already talking to a new vendor.

The schedule is updated through to the start of the playoffs. We will add in the times of the playoffs as soon as we can. We will be getting better ice times as the ice opens up.

The stats and standings are updated. All the links to the left for this season are now updated. Ken Bollweg is leading the league in penalty minutes. Mark Robertson and Rod Nicholson had a little chemistry lat night as Rod had a hat trick of assists helping Mark get his hat trick. They had many other chances too.

You can click on the links to the left to see what team you are on and also what time you play.

Video in Photo album: A couple videos from the game are in the video folder of the photo album. The large on is five minutes and 12.5 Meg so it will take a while to download. When playing hit Ctrl-Enter to switch to full screen mode.

Stonley Cup Video: The video from the championship game is complete. I couldn’t find what Ken charged last time so I am going to ask for $5 for a DVD and $10 for a VCR tape of the game. You can contact me via this e-mail address or on the message board to request your copy. I will have copies available tonight at the 8PM drop-in.

Next Season Info: Sign-ups are under way at the front desk at Texas ice. The new season begins on Jan 18th and runs through April 11th. Sign up early to ensure that you will get on a team. We had some people that missed last season because we didn’t have enough people to get from 8 to 10 teams. We can handle up to 104 skaters with 8 teams and need 120 skaters to get to 10 teams.

The OHLympics games: The OHLympic games are a fun night of drop-ins. We have one scheduled at 7:00 PM and another at 8:30PM on January 4th. You can call Texas Ice to sign up at 281-486-7979 ext 100. We have it set up so the lower level players can play in the first game and the higher level players can play in the second game. You can sign up for either game but please only sign up for one game. Bring a light and dark jersey if you can.

New Player Evals: New players are required to attend this night or a drop-in so we can get an idea of your level of play so we can make the teams as even as possible. The evaluation game is on January 11th at 8:00 PM. Call Texas Ice to sign up and pay in advance to get on the list.

Hockey clinics: Tom Kuryk will be putting on back to back clinics on Sunday December 28th at Noon and 1:15PM. The first clinic is on Stick Handling and the second clinic is on Passing and Shooting. The cost is $15 per clinic or $25 for both.

Lots of Drop-ins: There are a number of Drop-ins over the Christmas break at Texas Ice. These drop-ins are usually lightly attended. If you want to play in one of the Drop-ins you can call Texas Ice and sign up. I recommend that you make a post in the message board trying to get more people to come out.

The Pirates scored with less than a minute left in the game to tie it at 2 and won it in OT to claim the Stonely cup. The photo album is already updated. More news out on the message board as well as at NHL.COM. I was just checking the score of the Canuck game and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw us listed on their web site!!!

There are also games at 6:45PM and 8:15PM if any of you prospective players want to come out and meet some of the guys. The final night of the OHL has been drawing quite a crowd the past few seasons.

Season Info
If you are going to play in the OHL this season please sign up soon so we can determine how many teams we will have. We will be picking teams Friday September 12th this season. There are approximately 50 skaters signed up so far.

Don't forget that there is a glorified drop in this coming Sunday labeled the OHLympics. Call the rink at 281-486-7979 x100 to get signed up. All the people that said they wanted to play on the message board need to call the rink and let them know if you plan on playing in the early or late game and pay the $12 fee. All of the new players that have signed up for the OHL need to attend either one of the OHLympic games or one of the upcoming Tuesday night drop-ins. No matter which one you plan on coming to you will need to sign up in advance to reserve your spot. There are a couple Thursday night drop-ins before the season starts. If you need to attend on of those let us know at ohl@houston.rr.com

Fall 2003 Season Info
The next season starts September 14, NOT the 21st!!!!
By starting on the 14th we can finish before the Christmas weekend. Also, we will not play November 23rd BEFORE Thanksgiving.
The league fee is $280, which includes the $35 USA Hockey annual registration.

The game times will be as follows:
6 teams - Sunday @ 6:45, 8:15, & 9:45
8 teams - Sunday @ 6:45, 8:15, & 9:45 and Saturday @ 9:00
10 teams - Sunday @ 6:45, 8:15, & 9:45 and Saturday @ 9:00 & 10:30

Registration forms are in Customer Service, so sign up now!

This also moves the OHLympic games up to Sep. 7th. These games were formerly called the All-Star games but we had to rename them so people would realize that the game is for everyone. It's really nothing more than a tune up for the league or a glorified drop-in. The first game is at 7:30 for the less experienced players and the 9:00 game is for more experienced players. If you want to sign up for the game please let us know on the message board so we can keep the player list organized.

August 4th, 2003 [9:15 AM]
Playoffs Week 1 finished.
The schedule for week 2 is now posted. Good job guys. This season anyone can win any game!! Don't forget to have fun out there!

August 2nd, 2003 [10:00 AM]
Playoffs!
I guess it has been a while since we have posted any news. The playoffs start tomorrow night. Check the schedule to the left for the game times. We had a four way tie this season which was a lot easier to break using our new rule for the tie-breakers.

There is a discussion and poll going on in the message board about whether to split into two divisions or just one. Go on out and add your comments.

One final thing is that we created an alias to this web site. You can now reach it by going to http://www.theohl.com Hopefully this will make our league web area easier to give out. We are still a part of the Texas Ice Hounds and plan to keep it that way.

June 23rd, 2003 [10:00 PM]
News to you!
Long time no news. It's time to make up for some lost time. Let's start with the Stats. Steve B has done a great job of getting the detailed stats together quickly. Great job Steve. I was looking through the stats and the one thing that nearly slipped past me was the SEVEN goal game by Nick Janes in week two. He did pass the puck one time because I see he had an assist too. We have had a few first goals and near first goals. David Hyde scored a game winning goal in a shoot-out. Unfortunately shoot-out goals don't show up on the score sheet. Luckily shoot-out whiffs don't show up either.

I took some pictures at the Yellow/Green game a while back and posted them on the photo album. Jeff Stone took some pictures of the Cup on top of the BMW Z4 that Chris Madson won last season for being MVP in the playoffs. The Z4 pics are in the MVP dir under the 2003 winter dir and the Yellow/Green pictures are in the 2003 summer folder. There is a link to the photo album to the left. When you click on the thumbnails you get a 640 x 480 image. When you click on that image you get the original image. Feel free to take anything you want and get it printed. Sams Club charges 20 cents. Many places charge 29 cents for a 4x6.

Please remember to have fun on the ice out there. Sure it is fun to win but the main thing is to have fun out there and get some exercise. Remember to get out there skate hard and take quick shifts. The quicker everyone makes their changes the more quality ice time you will get.

May 28th, 2003 [1:15 PM]
We are full!
We maxed out the rosters on all 8 teams! We have 112 players in the league. Your captains should be passing around a roster this week. Please verify we have your correct information.

May 19th, 2003 [5:00 AM]
First Goal!!
Rachel Brady notched her first goal but it was too little too late as Orange was shut down but the stingy Blue Defense 4 - 1. The second game Went to Green 3 - 2 over White. The third and fourth games were ugly as Gray beat red 8 - 1 and Black beat Yellow 10 - 1.

May 17th, 2003 [2:30 PM]
Player Transaction information

Hella Stats!!!

Thanks to Steve Berenzweig we have some serious stats. Note that on the bottom of the three new pages there are tabs for either other weeks or other stats. Steve has added weekly Box Scores, Team Stats and Player Stats!!! Remember that these stats come from the score sheets so if you want to keep them accurate you need to get with the refs after the goal. I think we have the Madsen's Jersey number wrong on our team roster so their points are presently swapped. We will work that out tomorrow.

May 11th, 2003 [2:45 PM]
Updated Rules

The rules are updated. Nothing major but the tie-breaker has been changed. See rule 14 for the tie breaker.
Happy Mothers Day to: Susan Stone, Rachel Brady and Nancy Curry. Plus any other mothers I left off.

New season new web address!

We moved the web site to the same location as the Texas Ice Hounds web site because we have more space and it is more reliable. The old site will have a redirect to this site when the roadrunner web site is accessible again. Here is the name of the new web site if you need to update your bookmark: http://www.hihoa.org/Hounds/icehounds/ohl

We have 82 signed up so far. If we don't get 14 more we will have some players stranded in no-mans land.

April 18th, 2003 [6:00 AM]
We got Video!

Ken is still putting the tape of the entire game together but here we go with a little teaser! Here it is! The video is in the Photo Album in the video folder too.

April 14th, 2003 [1:00 AM]
Mellow Yellow?

The Alpo Cup final was won by the Yellow over White 4 - 2. Unfortunately the game was dominated by penalties. Black beat Orange 8-7 in a shootout. This was the best game of the evening! Blue beat an undermanned Teal team 6 - 2 while Silver beat Red after securing a goalie after one period.

The photo Album has been updated with pictures of the games. I still have to figure out how to shoot inside the stupid rink.

April 8th, 2003 [9:00 AM]
OHL Finals

The Alpo Cup final is set between Yellow and White at 9:30. The dog pound match is at 5:00 between Red and Silver. Red has the least penalty minutes as a team all season. Congrats to Red!! Silver is one of the most penalized teams this season along with Teal. Teal will play against Blue at 6:30 in the first consolation game. The second consolation game is at 8:00 between Orange and Black. The winners of the consolation games can consider themselves tied for 3rd place and the losers tied for 5th place in the league.

March 31th, 2003 [6:15 AM]
Week 1

David brought down goliath in somewhat of an upset as Orange managed 5 goals on the stingy Silver team. All the other games saw the winners only allowing 1 goal. Just like the sign says out in front of the rink. Learn D play adult hockey inside. Next weeks match-ups posted on the schedule.
Congrats to Rachel on getting her first goal last night. At least I think she got it. She said she did touch the puck before it went in. There were quite a pile of bodies in front of the net. It was good timing because it is her birthday today.

March 24th, 2003 [9:15 PM]
Seeding Complete

The commissioner has determined the seeding of the teams. Please don't complain or add your interpretation on how the tie should be broken. The standings and schedule are updated but here is a sneak peak at the order of the teams after the tie-breaker: Silver, Blue, Teal, White, Black, Yellow. Next of course are Red and Orange.

Match-ups posted to the schedule but are also listed here:
Sunday March 30th
5:00 Silver vs Orange
6:30 Blue vs Red
8:00 Teal vs Yellow
9:30 White vs Black

March 24th, 2003 [11:30 AM]
It Happened

I just wanted to let everyone know that we are working out the seeding of the teams following the six way tie. We will post the results as soon as we get them straight. You have like that our best record was only 6 - 4 and our bottom two team each had 2 wins and red also snuck in a OT loss. I hope we can continue to do this well with selecting the teams next season.

March 17th, 2003 [9:00 PM]
Stats

The stats have been posted. Look at David Persails up there near the top. Good job David!!

Welcome back to Greg Vetal and welcome for the time being to Tom Kuryk. If all the cards fall right next week there could be a six way tie for first place. It may even be possible for there to be a tie for 7th place too. I think Orange has to lose a shootout to blue for that to happen. It's too early to be counting our green though.

We will try to get the standings and schedule posted as soon as possible next week after the games.

March 9th, 2003 [12:30 AM]
OHL in Space

I was watching a show on the discovery science channel when I noticed an OHL player. I decided to tape it so I wouldn't miss anything in case he didn't know he was going to be on. I sure didn't miss anything because there was another OHL player shown playing with a Star Trek toy aboard the shuttle. Go out to the photo album and click on video to see our new TV stars. There was no mention of the OHL. I did her John rattling off player numbers at one point though.
The champions page for last season was moved to the photo album to free up space the commissioners personal web site.

March 3rd, 2003 [1:45 PM]
4,000 Hits!!

We just finished the round robin portion of the schedule and now have three games remaining before the playoffs. This season is as even as any season we have ever had.

March 1st, 2003 [7:30 PM]
The OHL Photo Album lives!!

I just took all of my old OHL pictures and everything out on the OHL web page and created a Photo Album. There is a link to it in the tool bar to the left. If you have any pictures you want added just send them to ohl@houston.rr.com You can send as many pictures as you wish. If you send more than one picture please put it in a winzip file. It would also help me to know the time frame of the picture. I know there are a bunch of pictures out there. Feel free to send them in. Enjoy the photo album. It is pretty cool.

February 25th, 2003 [11:50 PM]
More Stuff!!

The stats have been updated. Congrats to Vicki Hubbell who scored her first TWO goals. I heard the second goal was some sort of helicopter shot while she was on the ice and it was going so fast it appeared to be hardly moving. It was sort of like The Matrix and the goalie dodged the puck like it was a bullet. Kudos to red for leading the league with only 4 penalty minutes. The teal goons have been in the box seven and a half times as long as red. Keep up the good chatter on the message board. Stuff like this is funny.

February 12th, 2003 [6:30 PM]
Stats!!

We got stats again. Click the link to the left. The stats are not perfect but they are pretty close. To keep the stats accurate make sure you discuss them with the referees when they are scored. P.S. Sorry Susan...

One thing I forgot to mention last week. Vijay Mishra had a hat trick on one shift. Great job Vijay!!!!

Week 2 Update

Week 2 went pretty well for a super bowl Sunday. The silver team played with only seven skaters after losing their captain Tony when he landed on his head. He has a separated sternum, severe neck strain and bruised shoulder. Hopefully he will be back soon. I hate that it was my stick he was launched from. It was an accident resulting when someone else got in the way of my stick causing Tony to trip. In other news the Lego Stanley cup was stolen.

January 23rd, 2003 [3:15 PM]
Revised Schedule

As much as I hate to do it we modified the schedule again. This change effected games on the weeks of 2/23 and 3/2.

January 23rd, 2003 [11:50 AM]
1,000 hits in a week

We have already had 1,000 hits to this web site in the past week since I added a new counter to it. Congrats to the SWBell person at IP 64.216.89.185 for being the 1,000th visitor.

Some bad news is that we have lost our 5:00 March 2nd start time so we need to have a 10:45 game that night. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do with the schedule? Blue and Teal have no late game but play the previous week so I am considering changing all the games scheduled on 2/23 with the games on 3/2 and sticking blue and teal in the 10:45 slot. I will also do the best at equalizing the times. I think Orange or Silver will have an extra Saturday game over everyone else. Does anyone on Orange or Silver prefer to play or not play on Saturday? Like I said I have not yet looked closely at the schedule. Post suggestions on the message board. Unfortunately everybody may not be able to be accommodated.

January 22nd, 2003 [1:45 PM]
Goalie Assignments

We assigned the goalies to teams. Hopefully all the player moves are now complete.

January 21st, 2003 [9:15 PM]

Black looked pretty strong against Yellow so we traded a player between those two teams. Both of the players missed the first game. We also lost Andre Firman from because of his work schedule. We replace Andre with Susan Stone's brother Greg. Goalie assignments will be made tomorrow.

8 Teams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We made it to 8 teams!! We still need to get a couple goalies. Check the links at the left for your team and when your game is. The goalies will get an individual call to let you know when you play.

January 18, 2003 [9:45 AM]
8 Teams?
We are at 91 now. We need to get to 96. Please sign up by 2:30 today.

January 18, 2003 [6:00 AM]
Team Selection
We will be selecting the teams at 2:30 today. There is still a chance we will get to 8 teams. As soon as the teams are selected an e-mail will be sent to everyone and the captains will be contacting you about what team you are on and when you play. I think at last count we were at 90 and need to get to 96 skaters.

January 14, 2003
Updated rules
The league rules have been updated. Check the link to the left. Sign ups are at 72. We have 6 teams. We will begin to wait list after 78 until we get to 96 for 8 teams.

The new season begins January 19th. All players that have never been in the league before need to attend the drop in on Sunday January 12th at 6:30 PM to be evaluated. If you cannot attend that session please send a message to ohl@houston.rr.com. All old hounds are welcome but only the first 20 signed up can play. The new guys have priority of course. I was just checking he schedule and there are a few other drop-ins before the start of the season people may want to attend on 1/9, 1/14 and 1/16.

In addition we want to make sure people know where the cut-offs are for the sign-ups and the number of teams that we will have. The teams will comprise of a minimum of 12 players and a maximum of 13 skaters per team. That means if we have 48-52 skaters we will have four teams, 72-78 skaters for 6 teams and 96-104 skaters for eight teams. Anyone signed up after the cut-off will be put on the waiting list. If people have to leave the league for whatever reason they will be replaced with the next player on the waiting list. Please sign up early to avoid being in no-mans land on the sign-up sheet. The rink phone number is 281-486-7979 ext 100.

OHL Vs. Afterburners
The Afterburners won 6 - 1. Jim Burkhart was standing on his head making saves. A shutout was avoided on a nice play started by Ryan flipping backhand to Mike M. who moved it ahead to Chris Madsen for the goal. It was a good game although there was no ceremonial puck drop or national anthem at this game.

December 25, 2002

Orange wins cup.
Orange beat the silver 5 - 0 to with the cup. I'm sure well have some pictures and more stuff. Don't forget to check the message board about the next season. It starts Jan 19 and sign-ups are on. Orange was kind enough to pour it on scoring with eight and a third seconds remaining.

December 6, 2002

We are already half way through the regular season and we have four teams above .500 and two teams at 1 and 4. Orange looks to be the team to be with their only loss coming when they were missing three of their top players. I'm really not sure why Red and Black have only one a game apiece because they both look pretty good on paper. On any given night any team can beat any other team. Good luck in the second half.

First Hat Trick!

In his first game back after breaking his leg Jeff Stone got his first hat trick!

All players please check the team address list at the next game and make sure you information is correct. We have bad e-mail address for some of you. Please look close enough at your email to see if there is a typo in it. We also need you to put your Jersey number on the address roster. Thanks to captain Bob Lavigne of the red team for getting all his players jersey numbers on opening night! All team captains should have the team address roster. The more accurate this information is the better we will be able to communicate with you.

The stats will not be updated until we get your jersey numbers because the points are all registered by jersey number. To keep the stats more accurate we are recommending that the goal scorer or at least someone confer with the ref to make sure the goals and assists are recorded accurately. All goal scorers should be gracious enough to make sure the assist are also recorded.

Somehow I didn't get signed up for the skate with the Sharpstown guys tonight so I put the pictures taken the last night of the league out here. There are more pictures that will be added later. All of them didn't get transferred to me somehow so I will be adding more pictures later. I have a nice CD of Hockey songs though. Maybe some day I'll turn them into MP3's for download.

UPDATED SCHEDULE!!!!

The schedule has been updated. One week was removed and the remaining weeks were shifted forward one week. The playoff format is on the new schedule too.

Hi There, Here is an up date on Robert; he did have a serious break and went through 2 operations to repair damage. He is in Herman hospital room 639, phone 713-704-8639. We don't know when he will get out yet. He has 3 rods screwed in his leg and a plate in his ankle. His big problem is he is upset that he won't be able to play next week. If you get a chance give him a call I'm sure he would like hearing from you.
Thanks
Robert's dad Bill

Also It's a girl!!

Player Moves!!

On Sunday night 30 seconds into his first shift Chad Texter tripped on the center line and dislocated his shoulder. The yellow team placed Chad Texter on the Injured Reserve so they could call Russell March up from the waiting list. Russell didn't get a chance to skate with the Bananas because he was immediately shipped to the Red team for Tim Reith. The Bananas were not yet done tinkering. The Bananas were also involved in a three player deal of cosmic proportions that sent Ryan Welsh to the black team. Apparently Ryan Welsh will be driving the team bus for black in addition to playing hockey. With the addition of Ryan to black Frank Melchor was moved to Teal which put Teal over the 13 man roster so they moved Tony Townly to Yellow to complete the three player trade. Tony is absolutely Bananas about the trade and happy to have split away from the teal team and their ugly jerseys.
