Tounament and Outing were Complete Successes

For the tournament we had 3 teams, Oldtimers, Geritol Kids and the Antiques facing off in three 45 minute games. The Geritol Kids took the first match against the Oldtimers. The Old timers out-lasted the Antiques in the second game. And the Antiques managed to steal the third game away from the Geritol Kids.

There were some great plays including one really snazzy Murphy-Moose combination in the second game that had everyone shaking their heads. MVP would certainly have to go to defenceman Jeff "Ironman" Cole who played in all three games. Fun was had by all.

The outing was equally fun. Bob Coffin arranged a great feast served by Dickey’s Barbeque Pit. We later faced-off in a spirited game of softball with Team Kanada playing The Dirty Bruisers. Team Kanada put up a good fight, but was really no match for Bruisers. We think there were no major injuries but we are still waiting for the final reports to trickle in.

Something new for the interim ice times! The Board voted to allow immediate family members, from the ages of 12 and up, to participate in games during this interim period.

The rules for this are:

• The Rusty Blade member must be a participant when the family member skates.
• Immediate family includes son, daughter, brother, sister, spouse and parents, only.
• The participants must have full gear and be capable of playing the game.
• Regular Rusty Blades players will have first priority for the ice time, but any openings available 24 hours before ice time may be claimed by the family members.
• All new players must complete a signed waiver before getting on the ice. The parent must sign for anyone under the age of 18. No exceptions, please!
• The Rusty Blades’ Rules of Play apply to all participants.
