Marmot Christmas Skating Party!!!

Hello friends of the Marmots!

We are having a skating party on Sunday December 23 at Archie Browning Arena from 2:40 - 4 pm, and we hope you will come! The skate shop will be open for skate rentals, and in one of the dressing rooms we will have snacks, warm beverages, maybe even something festive. Then, there will be a family hockey game from 4 - 5 pm for those interested. It will be helmets and skates (minimum) for adults (skate shop has a pile of helmets too), and kids we recommend also knee pads and elbow pads - and we have some extra if need be. We'll try to keep family members all on the same team!

Please RSVP and let me know if you can attend. Cost is 5$ per adult or 10$ for families (including extended family: so if you bring your parents, sisters, brothers, cousins - you can get a serious deal here!)

It is going to be SOME SERIOUS FUN!!!

Beer Prayer

From Dylan Steinbok's collection of wisdom... he gives this in honour of his ribs, Sleepy's neck, and those crazy Paramedics.

Our lager,
Which art in barrels,
Hallowed be thy drink.
Thy will be drunk, (I will be drunk),
At home as it is in the tavern.
Give us this day our foamy head,
And forgive us our spillage,
As we forgive those who spill against us.
And lead us not to incarceration,
But deliver us from hangovers.
For thine is the beer, the bitter, and the lager.
Barmen.

Psychological Training for Marmots

The Marmots are ready for the next level in hockey training: mental domination. How many times have we seen a Marmot heading to the net, only to choke in the finish? All Swedish, no Finnish! But that is about to change.

Attention Marmots: Here is your new training manual. Get tough, head up, wait for the sign. Next practice we will have some "anti-choking" drills. Like, maybe a shootout.
