All you Vancouver floor hockey players need to head down to Sears, apparently, where you can get a no-obligation, in home estimate for… Vancouver floor hockey? Huh? Exactly. It appears the folks doing the paid search marketing campaign for Sears didn’t quite set their keyword settings properly. They want to sell you flooring, not floor hockey - I think.

Those who prefer to find Vancouver floor hockey, sportaholik.com is the place. We just added a number of Vancouver floor hockey and ball hockey leagues for you to check out. Of course, if you don’t want to wait for league registration you can create a player profile today so any floor hockey or ball hockey team an contact you at any time to sub in or join their team. Likewise, if your floor/ball hockey team needs more players, make a post letting people know you need players. We’ll be starting to promote Vancouver sportaholik.com shortly, so stay tuned!

According to SpacingToronto,

City Council is set to review a report written by the City of Toronto’s Community Development and Recreation Committee which proposes that 14 rinks around the city remain open, weather permitting,  until March 15, 2009.

… which is two weeks more than normal. Stay tuned.

Two things every rec hockey team needs is 1) a jersey colour, and 2) a team name. Whether you’re playing ice hockey, floor hockey or any other type of hockey, these are essential. Many teams go the humour route when choosing their team names. Some come up with things that are, for sure, inside jokes (my ball hockey team years ago was the ‘Tuna Melts’, because my roommate at the time seemed to eat them every second day for dinner). Another ball hockey team of mine has gone under the ‘HomeWreckers’ banner since inception years ago (it’s a reference to one of the bowling teams on The Simpsons; other teams in that episode being Pin Pals, Channel 6 Wastelanders, DMV Regulation Kings, Springfield Police Framers, Holy Rollers, and The Stereotypes). Some teams we face in the TCSSC have names that I’m surprised make it past the censors (if there are any) but I must say I enjoy a creative (and clean) team name. Over at FantasyTeamNames.net they have a user generated list of hockey team names. Some of my favourites being the following:

• All Aboard the Cheechoo Train
• Honey Nut Chelios
• Crosby, Staals, and Nash
• Vanek Depressive
• Hejdukes, He Scores!
• Vanek at the Disco
• No Jokinen ‘Round
