Ahl Road Hockey Tournament


Recommended Posts

I vote that an AHL Road Hockey Tournament be conducted during draft day next year. I think this would be absolutely hilarious, especially if teams were comprised of divisions (i.e. 4 teams, Eddie Shack East/West, and Tiger Williams North/South). I can picture it now..."Serge, Daniel, and Dale break out on a 3 on 0 with Nate in net""Daniel does a spin move and drops it laterally to Dale, moving Nate out of position. Dale then fakes the shot, drawing Nate even further out of position, and passes it to Serge who's standing at the side of the net.""Serge draws his stick back for the easy tap-in, but then sees a guy walking down the street who looks a bit like Kyle Wellwood, loses his concentration, and misses by four feet.""Nate picks up the puck and outlets to Bob, who, while doing server maintenance on FCP, pulls a Savardian-Spinerama and drills one top shelf".Daniel, Darryl, and Dale (the 3D line) scream at Serge who refuses to accept responsibility. He then annoints himself first star (of the game and AHL) and promptly re-signs himself to a $14.50 contract for 4 years saying "you don't understand my strategy".

That's actually a legitimately good idea! We have 4 teams of 5 and we do it by division. It would be interesting to see who the favorite would be. My team would suck, but it would be fun anyway.G: DaleD: SergeD: ElliotF: DanielF: Darrell Man that team would suck, lol. I'm game, seriously.

Are subs allowed? I will gladly fill out a roster. I'll even see if Kyle Wellwood will come and play, serge.. Wouldn't you just hemmorhage at the sight of serge screaming at Wellwood for not passing him the ball???????

How? Are you a goalie or are we sticking Serge in there? I can play, but there are other teams that would be stronger. Some guys on other teams wouldn't play because they don't exercise, but I wonder if they'd play if their was a prize package for the winners? Hmmm...

I can play anywhere, but I am an excellent ball hockey goalie.

Elliott is a target in more ways then one.He's a goalie in a men's hockey league.
That's good, then I can score some goals with a break on the blueline everynow and then to fend off the heart attack.It would be awesome if we could get a sheet of ice for a hour or so, but I'm not sure how many of us can skate/play.

If you guys want to do that, let me know... I can arrange it for you.

It might be surprising to know that I am a pretty good ball hockey player..I think we would actually win..Elliot is a great goalie

Three teams with interest, two serious... I'll be on the ice with him this week, and should know more by midweek....
Does he still think some team is eventually going to buckle and give him $3 million this season? Or is he more accepting of the fact that he probably won't get any more than Lindros is making in Dallas?

I seriously think we should do this. There are two ways we could do it:Tiger Williams Conference vs. Eddie Shack Conference We could each have a full lineup with 5 players and a goalie. The bench would depend on how many players show up. The captain for each team would be the team that represented the conference in the finals and they would decide who plays where, and when a shift is necessary. We could play up to 10. First team to score 10 goals wins. I think ball hockey makes the most sense as it's much easier to do. We could rent out a school gym or something like that.All Divisions play each other: East vs. West and South vs. North. Play till 5 and winning team advances. A team must have at least three players show up. 4 on 4 with one sub. The two teams that win play off for the championship in the same format. We could make up a trophy and everything. PLUS: The winning team would win an all expenses paid trip to Las Vegas on the last weekend of the AHL season. Anyone else who wanted to come would have to pay their own way. Gruven will ref the game and any penalty would result in 2 minutes in the box.

I am totally in....I used to play a lot of ball hockey in the day...i think this would be a great time...I assume it would be in Toronto as majority of owners are around here...I think we should set a date and I volunteer to help organize the event ...

I was thinking about either the day BEFORE or the day AFTER the draft. In Toronto of course.
YES!If we're going with ball hockey over ice hockey can we make sure it's inside?
