2011-2012 ICE604/ASHL/COAST/VACHL Talk
 

i'll be playing bottom tier in ice604, first game of the season is on the 12th

Is it normal for our team to have 25 players?

Usually, no. Most of the time, a team will have 13-15 active skaters and a couple of spares in case of injury or not being able to play. But 25 seems like quite a few subs.

Going into VACHL, evaluation next Wed, my first ice hockey season ever. I wonder what to expect from that league?

I'm playing Ice604 too, in tier 10 I think. Still don't know the team name yet though... I think I'm on the same team as sumaznguy

25 is normal. Just remember maybe like 2-4 of those players will probably only attend one game the wholenseason. Like someone said earlier. 13 or 15 guys make up ur fulltime
Roster and if one of those guys cant make it. One of those 10 guys who r subs will fill in the remaining spots

IF ANYONE IS LOOKING FOR A "BEGINNER" GOALIE TO PLAY IN A LOW TIER, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

Im really wanting to play, but dont know where goalies can look for a team. Aside from drop-in.

wth... 25? you are playing on sue anns team? if it's anything like roller, you will probably have 4-5 lines lol... should never have anymore than 15 players playing any given game. you will literally get NO playing time...

how will 25 players fit in the room.... on the bench? lol

lol yes it's sue-ann's team
we had practice/drills a couple days ago and there were 30 people who attended..there were like 16 people in our room and there was pretty much no space to change. I dunno, apparently a lot of people drop out as the season progresses though

i'll see how the first few games go, hopefully there's not gonna be a lot of favouritism this year

if you are smart, you would be one of those who drop out

sue-anns warcries from the bench will forever haunt me

anyone know what the skill level is for Duffer's compared to Ice604?

I know ice604 is probably one of the lowest for skill level, but looking at mid level tiers.

Does nobody have experience with VACHL? I know it's probably the lowest of the lowest in skill level, but still. Also, is it hard to find a team at appropriate tier at leagues like Ice604/ASHL as a single player?

duffers is much better... div 1 in duffers is similar to div.... 3 in ashl, whereas div 1 in ice604 is probably div.... 5 or lower even, in ashl.... duffers has great ice as well..

thanks for the info, i'm thinking about registering as an individual for duffers, but the cost may be too high to play on 2 teams this season. If I'm thinking a middle tier for ice604 would be appropriate, i guess going to one of the bottom 2 tiers in duffers would make most sense..

Any lower tier in Coast looking for players? Me and a buddy really wanna join and the coordinator asked us to look for the team managers and ask if they need players...

ASHL wknd league, Div D1

Played Div 1 ICE604 for 2 winters a few yrs ago, I don't think it is remotely close to div 5 ASHL. I think it's more like Div 5 Coast. Unless Div 1 got extremely talented, but from what a couple old teammates told me, it's about the same for the past 2-3 yrs except the bottom teams are better now. And for the record, I was in top 5 scoring on my team and besides the other 4 guys who played rep hockey before, I'm a pretty average ice player.

i haven't played anything lower than div 2 in ashl, so i only assumed it was similar to coast rankings... there are always average players that rack up the 2nd assists from the top players on the team :)

^^^ In Coast...when it comes to Div 1 and Div 2, its very comparable to the level of competitiveness; mix the teams in the division up, they'll be fine. Only difference between Div 1 and Div 2 is how long the team has been playing together (from what I have seen).

However....you go from Div 2 to Div 3......HUGE gap in skill level difference.

My thoughts exactly....good point!!

lol how come people tend to leave blank posts when using RS mobile? Never happens on my phone :fulloffuck:

so will the bottom tiers in ice604 be packed with nubs? when i signed up for zinc 2 in vihl i thought the playing level was gonna be a lot easier lawl

A lot of decent teams will sandbag it. But we are talking about 1 or 2 really good players while the rest of the team will be pretty much noobs.
Quite similar to what our levels were like for RS Epic Hockey night 1.
