9/2/10 - Live Scoring Updates
If you take a look over to the right you will notice a Twitter widget. Thanks to Josh's sister Tiffany we will now have live
scoring updates from all of the games. If you can't make the game or have a family member that's interested just come on here
when the Puckheads are playing to see who is putting the puck in the net. Thanks Tif.

8/30/10 - Old Guys Suck!
Saturday, coach Dave did a very cool thing by setting up a team ball hockey game in Moorpark. Because certain people
don't know how to tell time or read an e-mail the numbers were a little light and some old guys had to play as well. I forget
who was on which side but it sort of boiled down to Team Sergey vs. Team Dave. It was three games of ball hockey mayhem with
everything on the line. (read more)

8/23/10 - Tommy-Palooza!
Last Sunday the Ventura Mariners Midget 16U Puckheads had their pre-season team meeting/party at the Allen's private
game preserve. There was good food and plenty of drink. Not to mention games and activities for adults and children. Coaches
Dave and Jere went over their rules and expectations for the kids. Ref Steve gave the 411 on SCAHA rules changes and Manager
Nicole delighted the crowd with the intricacies of hockey administration. Best of all, I think I found myself a Twitter reporter.
It was a great time. The only real bummer was Cheryl drank all my beer. Shame on her. (read more)

At the meeting, we touched on the idea of playing at least one out of town tournament. Let's use this weekly poll for something
non-stupid for a change and see where everyone would like to go.

8/16/10 - Weekly Poll
For the last two years, the team has been known as the "Killer Bees". While they are still killer, they are no longer playing
in the B division. The boys need a new nickname. Let's use the power of democracy to decide this important issue.

8/16/10 - Weekly Update
The website poll beta test was a success and it's official: Melissa from the bantam A team wins Parent Of The Week. I
suspect her husband used his NSA/Naval Intelligence connections to hack the poll because there are a few anomalies. But hey,
we elect our presidents with voter fraud so I don't see why POTW should be any different. I am, however, quite disappointed
that nobody voted for Toni. Dude, she's awesome. You people make me sick. (read more)

8/9/10 - Website Poll Beta Test
I'm testing a new feature here with an online poll. If it works, we'll have a new poll every week. This first one is to vote
for parent of the week. I've selected the candidates from the only four people that posted a comment on the site. At the end
of the week the results will be final. You can vote for yourself. In fact, if you don't you're not smart.

9/6/10 - Modano Signs With Wings
It's official: Mike Modano has signed a 1 year deal with the Detroit Redwings for a reported $1.25 million. The Livonia,
Mich. native is finally coming home after 20 years with the Minnesota Northstars/Dallas Stars. He got his start with Mike
Illitch's Little Ceasars youth hockey program and now it looks like he'll finish up with Illitch's Redwings. The circle of
hockey is complete. (read more)

8/2/10 - I Need A Twit
I know I make fun of Twitter because, let's face it, it's pretty stupid. However, I think I have come up with a way to
make it useful. I can load a feed on to this website linked to a Twitter account and we could have real-time scoring updates
from the kid's games. So, like the title says, I need a twit. That is to say, I need someone that is willing to be the team
Twitter reporter. (read more)

7/30/10 - California Dreamin' Hockey School
Just to erase some of the confusion, the California Dreamin' Hockey School 3-day clinic is free to registered
Mariners players. That means it doesn't cost you anything. The coaches would really like all of our players to participate
in this. Did I mention that it is free? The dates and times are listed in the upcoming schedule section to the right.
You can also click the link above or read one of the many e-mails Nicole has sent out. Be there or be square.

7/27/10 - Welcome Back
It's hard to believe a new season is already upon us. Time really flies when you get old. I'm talking about the rest
of you of course. My immaturity keeps me young. In any case, I'm really excited about the 2010/2011 Midget 16U A season. We
have a great group of kids and I have all the confidence in the world that coaches Jere and Dave can mold them into contenders.
There are also some exciting changes with this website. Well, exciting may be an overstatement but there are several changes
from previous years. (read more)
