boston winter 2012 event rumor/discussion

Given the success of the Boston Winter Lock-in In. We have been thinking about some different options if we are to host an event this coming winter 2012.

THE FIRST IS A COMMON SENSE BENCH SYTLE TOURNEMENT MEANT TO PROMOTE AND SHOW THE BEST TALENT AND TEAMS THE REGIONS/CLUBS/CITIES HAVE TO OFFER AND TO DECIDE WHICH REGION/CLUB/CITY ROLLS THE DEEPEST.

( WE ARE STILL UNDECICED ABOUT HOW WE WILL BREAK UP THE 7 TEAMS IN TERMS OF LOCATION ETC – OUR REGIONS WILL NOT BE THE SAME AS NAH)

NO BULLSHIT, NO BITCHING

THERE IS NO DRAFT. MANAGERS DECIDE ON THEIR BEST 6. END OF ARGUMENT.

The Idea:

7 managers, 1 from each region/club/city + 6 players

7 teams
7 players
7 regions/cities

The Format:

Bench style tournament, any 3 players from the 7 can play and switch out when needed.

7 team round robin 2-day event at Hockey-Town USA (Saugus MA)

2 x 20 min periods

NO TIME OUTS (UNLESS ITS SERIOUS)
NO REF (WE ARE ALL ADULTS WE CAN SELF REGULATE) AND WE USE HOCKEY NETS
ALL POLO

We could potentially keep all the 7 regions on or around the east coast and change the regions to cities/clubs or even group a few together. That way 2 carloads of people could bring all 7 players and bikes and reduce cost for travel etc. Teams would have to organize their own accommodation. Those of you that have played at Hockey-Town know that there are several inexpensive options.

We are open to ideas and input for this. It was thought up and written on a king size rolling paper so that’s all we have right now.

The second option is to throw another open to all tournament, like we did in January, which was fucking awesome fun and attracted the worlds best players.
