No Scrimmage

Scrimmage:

As most of you may know, our Mens and Ladies squads are headed off to VA Beach to do battle in the JFK tourney. Therefore there wont be an official club scrimmage this weekend. However if any of you would like to organize impromptu scrimmage please feel free to use the club forum to do so.

Thanks
Mags and Steve

Columbus Update:

What I learned this weekend: A hockey ball moves very slowly when there's an inch of water on the field.

CFHC was represented at the Columbus Midwest Classic by Laura, Sandy and myself. We combined with some players from Ohio to form the Midwest Maniacs. We had a gorgeous day for hockey on OSU's campus Saturday and won all 3 of our games. Unfortunately, play was cut short (very short) on Sunday due to a torrential downpour. After a valiant effort to continue with the tournament, our first game was called a little way into the 2nd half due to lightning (but just for the record, we were winning...).

As always, the social was the highlight of the tournament. We persevered in our efforts of spreading the flip cup craze to every corner of the globe.

Overall it was a fun weekend of hockey. I let the organizers know that we would be sure to bring a full squad next year, as long as it wasn't scheduled the weekend before another tournament!

Cheers,

Betsy
