Hey Guyz,

We had a bit of a scene last Friday when an 8 Rinks Manager approached the group of guys watching the 3rd game. Many of them were drinking beers (as we usually do). 8 Rinks has advised us in the past that this type of behaviour (drinking beer outside of the dressing room) will not be tolerated. This year, they have been clamping down on this activity – this is the 2nd time a manager has appeared.

In our league contract with 8 RInks, it also states that we can have our ice time permanently taken away for these types of ‘infractions’ and I know we all do not want that to happen – and, by the way, 8 RInks will be more than happy to take back our Friday night ice times. I was advised by an 8 RInks employee, that 8 RInks wants to take our our ice times away for other leagues, so we don’t want to provoke them or give them any reason to do so.

Sooooooooooooooooo, I hate to say it, BUT……………

Guys, we can no longer drink outside of the dressing room – ZERO TOLERANCE GUYS – NO BEER CONSUMED WHILE WATCHING THE 3RD GAME. None of us wants to lose our ice times and we need all the guys to make sure it doesn’t happen.

So, if you see one of our guys drinking outside the dressing room, then it is up to you (Yes, you !!) to have them dump their beer. Its your ice time, protect it for all of us.

PLEASE DO NOT DRINK OUTSIDE THE DRESSING ROOMS ANYMORE.

SIMONS HOCKEY LEAGUE WILL ENSURE THIS BEHAVIOUR IS ENFORCED BY CONSIDERING POSSIBLE 3 GAME SUSPENSIONS FOR THOSE PLAYERS THAT DRINK OUTSIDE OF THE ROOM. THIS MATTER WILL BE DISCUSSED AT THE NEXT CAPTAINS MEETING AND WE”LL INFORM YOU OF THE OUTCOME.
