Well boys, change of plans for this afternoon. I went outside to check out my grill this morning and was stunned into silence by the realization that somebody had stolen it. Not sure how somebody was able to walk along the side of my house and haul out a BBQ grill without being seen nor heard...but they did. Fine time to discover the theft on the morning of the party but I hope we can arrive at a Plan B in typical Tsunami fashion. I'm still open for beers at my place but the cooking of meat wil… Continue

I'm in... Anyone else? Bring your sunscreen, I'm proposing shirts and skins for the 94' heat. Beers may be a good idea too :-)

Tasha and I are moving from West Seattle to Ballard at the end of the month! We're well-organized, we pack well (!), and won't have a lot of loose shit flopping all over the place that's hard to carry. We only have a few items that require two people to carry. We have a big-ass box truck to use all day too. We'll provide food and drink for anyone who can help. More details to those who can make it. Loading would start late morning ~11, and hopefully finish unloading late afternoon ~5. Please p… Continue

Hey Bubbles, I have no problem w/ kids coming along. My dog is a bit of a freak around kids cuz he doesn't understand them and I can't vouch for Peto's behavior either. Other than that, the kids should be fine. Damn fine goal, Bubbles. Most definitely a high point of the tourny. Now we gotta figure out why the Tsunami resembles a raindrop when it hits the floor in tournament play. Chuck :-)

It was a humbling trip to the great white north for the Seattle Tsunami as we were completely outclassed in the C division. First off, thanks to Bubbles for all the leg work and organizing the trip-- it went very smoothly considering all the logistical mish-mash going on with people staying all over the place and coming at different times. Not to mention all the logistics with the rules and equipment. Thursday night's game was proceeded by a moment of silence for Vic. Both teams lined up with h… Continue

Hey fellahs, I'm thinking this is a good weekend for us to get our party on at my place after street hockey. First disclaimer is that I'm a bachelor and don't have a bunch of lawn furniture like the Peto's, a clean house like the Payettes and a full array of kitchen utensils and shit like the rest of you domesticated "Good Housekeeping" readers. So I just figure we say, I fire up the grill, you bring some beers and some meat to cook up. If your last name starts with A-J bring a starter like chi… Continue

Even though Team Tsunami is on the road kicking ass in BC, the ball keeps rolling here in Seattle. Reply here to gauge turnout.

Guys, good luck. Win the tourney up there!!!

Hi All, Just to let you all know that with the limited room in Melissa's car for bodies and equipment/gear, we can only take a maximum of three people (Melissa, me and Reiner) in Melissa's car. Sorry, guys. Can someone out there give Andrew the Czech a ride up on Thursday to Vancouver?? Thanks, Andrei

If you don’t know already, Vic passed away last night. He was joining Carlo for pickup roller hockey and he suddenly collapsed. Carlo found out later that night that Vic passed away. This is a sad day in the history of ssh.com. We were just starting to get to know Vic. Great guy, magic hands, a wall in net. He had my vote for MVP of Can v. USA battle. He was commenting on the blog not even 2 days ago. Last week as netminder, he robbed me blind a bunch of times!

I seemed to gain a little interest at Saturday's game about this (Adam and Vic)...I go up to St. John's randomly during the week (normally from 8-10PM) and play inline hockey with a buddy of mine. We mainly just work on shoting/passing and an occasional one-on-one game. Anyway, we are planning on playing Wednesday (July 30th) around 8PM if anyone else is interested???

Hey everyone, I was wondering if I could borrow somone's Tsunami Jersey for the Vancouver tourney? Preferrably a medium or large....

Eh, I've been awol the past month and am itching to play. Sure I'll be huffing and puffing, but it'll be worth it. Who's in town this weekend and is up for playing (and allowing me a soft goal or two)?

Hi Gents, Sorry I haven't been around. The combination of car trouble and my body feeling good has kept me away from the games the last couple of weeks. Here is the current roster. I am going off the top of my head, but believe I have everyone. This leaves us a few short unless you guys have been training your asses off. If by chance I missed you, I apologize. Bubbles Peto Payette Kreptul Andrew(Czech) Carlo Reiner Chuck Bill L. Scottie Koh Doucette Ben Possibilities: Saliba, Shelest Dan-O.… Continue

Hey everybody, last saturday someone from the church stopped by while we were playing hockey to talk to us about the use of the parking lot. Basically he pointed out they have been turning a blind eye to our board/goal storage, and the games in general, and he was asking if we would be willing to help them with some general cleanup around the buildings where we store our stuff. I realize philanthropy/volunteerism isn't the strong suit of our group (unless you count putting strippers through col… Continue

Anyone want to go to Buffalo to see the Sabres' home opener?

Game on! Let us know if you're playing this weekend. If current trend of low numbers continues, we'll play at church; not to mention we only have one set of 'boards' to work with. Should we even bother with the school while we only have one set of boards? Getting Mrashed on Targaritas 101: Also, at Reiner's BBQ I might set up a booth to explore the ambitious and varied world of margarita making. Join me in comparing and contrasting recipes and varieties of tequila, orange liquers, and li… Continue

Room reservations had to be in by July 10th, and since I did not hear from anyone about wanting to do the reservations elsewhere, I reserved 6 total rooms. The 6 rooms will allow for double/triple/quad occupancy, and obviously will be enough to house the current roster, since I believe we are at 15-18 players depending on Marshy etc... We can figure out the rooming situations over the next week or so. -G
