Hockey Squad Practice - Triple Deak Ice Rink (Wednesday NIGHT)

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Posted early to let everyone play.. and because I don't know if I'll be around 'tonight' FH-time to get it out.]

Kawalsky was the first to arrive, as usual. He checked in with Coach Bombay, opened up the equipment room, changed into a training jersey and skates and headed out onto the ice. They were going to start looking at positions now that people were starting to get the hang of skating.

Kawalsky skated around, warming up.

Ivanova sighs as she steps on to the ice and begins a controlled glide. She missed a couple of practices somewhere, which really wasn't so cool. She waved to Kawalsky as she began to skate more quickly, working out the mothballs.

John hits the ice, a little more confident in his skating after a few practices.

Callisto turns up after the newspaper meeting, and gets on the ice. Having mastered the art of not falling over every five seconds, she decides try and figure out how to get these things to go in the right direction.

Ivanova waves to Callisto as she skates by. "Hey!"

"Hey!" Callisto grins back.

"I take it you haven't had much practice on these things," she says, slowing down and skating backwards in front of the other girl with her hands behind her back.

Bridge hits the ice and skates around, showing some definite improvement from the last time he'd been at practice.

Organization of Teams

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

Once a bunch of people arrived, Kawalsky called everyone together. "Okay, today we're gonna work out positions. We talked about this earlier, but I kinda spilled beer on lost the notes I had. We've got a couple of different positions.

Offense has center, left wing and right wing. Centers take the face-off, wings do a lot of the puck-handling with the center.

Defense has left and right defense, plus the goaltender. Defense shove people around a lot and get the puck back to their team's offense.

Goaltender, or goalie, spends all the time in the net, catching and blocking the shots from the other team. Gotta have quick reflexes.

Team 1 needs a center, left wing, right wing, left defense, right defense and goalie.

Team 2 needs a center, left wing, right wing, left defense, right defense and goalie.

If you want a specific position, say so now. If you're not sure, say so too and we'll try you out somewhere."

"I don't know...is there a position where i don't have to brake to much and can just skate on, so to say?"

Re: Organization of Teams

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Oooh, I'll take left defence!"

Re: Organization of Teams

As Ivanova heads off towards the changerooms, she puts in her two cents. "You can put me on offense. Left or right wing. Doesn't really matter." She grins. "I'm flexible."

In the Bleachers

Gordon took a seat in the stands towards the back so he could watch the practice.

Rodney had heard about the ice rink and the hockey team practises, and figured he could find a bit of time to poke his head in.

At the least, he could do some heckling.

Jaye takes her usual seat to watch people fall down. She looks two seats over at Rodney. "Popcorn?" she offers.

Re: In the Bleachers

[yaymckay.livejournal.com]

"Never refused it yet," he says, leaning over, then pauses before taking a handful. "It's not lemon-flavoured, is it?"

Re: In the Bleachers

[fates_jaye]

She stares at him. "Who the hell would put lemon flavoring on popcorn?"

Elizabeth spotted Rodney as she headed towards the bleachers, and sighed.

At least there was someone else with him.

Mindful of her temper the last time they met, Rodney just catches her eye and nods briefly.

Re: In the Bleachers

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Rodney," she greets, her voice calm.

She takes a seat next to the other girl.

"Average it. 5.7 - no bonus points for screaming. And yeah, that leg thing? Twitchy."

He glances at Jaye. "How did you turn up here the first time if you have no interest in either hockey or the players?"

She shrugs. "I was bored. Decided to mock. It's kind of my thing," she explains. "I don't think these people have enough padding."

Re: In The Bleachers (cont.)

[yaymckay.livejournal.com]

"Maybe they don't have enough brains to need padding?" Rodney calls out, "7.2!"

Re: In The Bleachers (cont.)

[fates_jaye]

"I don't think it's stupidity as much as it is masochism," she says. "Do you play, or just mock?"

Duncan slips in to watch from the bleachers.
