Draft

Ok so here is my little gripe on the GSHL draft. When the Monkeys showed up to last nights evaluation skate/draft, Scott reached into the number bin & picked up the 1st pick in the draft. We were excited about getting the first pick, even though we knew what we needed & wanted. That assured us that we were getting who we wanted. Thats where things went weird. Apparently the way the GSHL does it, is that the higher divisions pick first. Which means our little paper with the number 1 on it, meant NOTHING!! So why do it?? Why not just say that the higher divisions will pick & so on & so forth. We were not going to pick someone out of our division. We wanted our goalie that wanted to play at our level. There was a chance that even with our #1 card, we might not get who we want. Since our goalie listed 6-7 as divisions she would love to play, if a div. 6 team wanted her, they could have drafted her before us. That... is BULLSHIT!! So with our #1 piece of paper in our hand, we held our breath while 6 divisions above us drafted. As I posted earlier, we got our goalie. But we could have just cut through the bullshit & just drafted since we had the first pick. We should have been just allowed to go up to Mr. Cole & say, " We got the first pick, we drew the first pick & we want that goalie there... she wants to play in our division & thats who we want." Then go home. Thanks for letting me vent... they definitely need to make some changes!! They should follow the P.S.S.B.L. GO MONKEYS!!

We have a GOALIE!!

First off, I stepped down from being "Captain" this session. It was just a lot of work that I didn't have the time for. So we elected Ian to take my place. Excellent choice & a obvious one at that. So our first order of business was to get a goalie & after a few weeks & a evaluation skate/draft, we have one. So that is one thing we can check off our list. More on the evaluation skate/draft when I have the time, but its definitely something that needs to be worked on. GO MONKEYS!!

Season Over!!

The Puck'N Monkeys season ended prematurely Monday night. Skating with only 8 players & a goalie, the Monkeys lost to the Mudflaps-7A, 3-0. It was a hard fought game, felt like everyone left it on the ice, but just fell short. 2 of the top scorers for the Monkeys were not in the line up & that hurt. Now its going to be a short off season before the winter session starts. Looks like we are going to retool a little & hopefully pick up where we left off. New session starts on Oct. 5th. Will keep everyone posted!! GO MONKEYS!!

TIE!! UGH!!

Our last game before playoffs & it resulted in a 3-3 tie. It was a hard fought battle... but no winner. So our season series with the Squids ended in a 1-1-1 record. Playoffs will be starting soon. Will keep everyone updated!! GO MONKEYS!!
