Dark Knights v Somebody — June 21st 6PM
Knights:
Nice win on Friday. I expect to give up nearly as many goals as we score this summer, which is a byproduct of some of the positions switches.
1. Game 5: S&D Phantoms at Jackalope Dark Knights, Friday, June 21st @ 6:00 PM, Rink B, Blacks. “Finals Rematch Edition”. Note the early start time. Apparantly, Phil’s grandmother can’t stay up late on Fridays.
2. Game 4: Goaltending was admittedly rusty, but the fact that this is notable is a testament to how consistently good Ben has been over the past year and a half.
3. Shift Times: I’m going to solve this problem if it’s the only thing I do this summer. Here’s the new tactic: once you are 15 seconds over your shift time, the shift behind you will stand up and be ready to jump over the boards. So forwards will stand at 1:00, defense at 1:15. Seeing a standing line doesn’t mean it’s time to get off then; it means you’re REALLY LATE in getting off.
4. Joining the Rush: Our defense is joining the rush more than ever to try to get breakaway goals. In order to cover that defenseman’s position, our philosophy to date has been for the forward closest to the rushing defenseman to drop back and fill his spot. But this can be counterproductive if the forward closest to the rushing defenseman is far ahead of the other two trailing fowards.
So we’re going to change that rule to a “first three in the zone are forwards” rule. So if Jeff rushes by you and you are the next closest forward to our offensive zone, skate with him. The last trailing forward will take Jeff’s place at the point. As soon as Jeff can cycle back to the top, the last trailing forward will cycle down.
5. The Cup: Steve, please be sure to bring the cup to the game so it can be handed off.
That is all. GOOD KNIGHT NOW!!!

Dark Knights v Possum — June 15th 3:10PM
Knights:
Great game this weekend. We can’t win them all but we can appreciate that it was very competitive.
1. Game 4: Possum at Jackalope Dark Knights, Saturday, June 15th @ 3:10 PM, Rink B, Blacks. “New Blacks Edition”. This is one of the few rare Saturday afternoon games. Bring your family! Bring your friends! But you should probably just expect the same crowd of one or two as normal.
2. Shift Times: Getting lots of complaints about people taking too much ice time. 45 seconds for forwards. 1 minute for defense.
3. JACKALOPE JERSEY UNVEILING: We will be handing out your new black jerseys this Friday at Jackalope. Party starts at 6:30 with free beer for Knights players until the gift card is depleted and $1 off beer after that! Steve only asks that we wear the jerseys while we’re there. And nothing else.
4. The Cup: Steve, please be sure to bring the cup to the party so we can show it off again.
That is all. GOOD KNIGHT NOW!!!

Knights:
Welcome to Season 5, Knights. Got some new stuff going on this season:
1. Game 1: Jackalope Dark Knights at Mastadons, Friday, May 17th @ 9:40 PM, Rink B, Blues. “Short Staff Edition”. I know that Siz, JT, Herbert, and myself will be missing from this game. As I’m constantly reminded every time I’m around one of you, we played our best game of the year last season in my absence (against the Fat Bottoms) so beating up the new kids without me should be no problem either. Jeez, I’d hate to the be first captain to lose to this team. But no pressure, Josh!! Read More of this Article »
Dark Knights v Mastadons – Playoff Game 1 – April 18th 7:10PM
Knights:
Welcome to Playoff Week, boys (and Mel)! Our last game until June is this Thursday — unless, of course, you guys want to do something about that.
1. Playoff Game 1: Mastadons (2-22-0)(4th Adams) at Jackalope Dark Knights (13-7-1)(1st Adams) Thursday, April 18th at 7:10 PM, Rink A, Blacks. We’ll talk strategy on Thursday but be thinking about the tendencies you observed last night. I’d like some feedback from anyone who observed anything interesting.
2. Game 24: Jackalope Dark Knights 4, Mastadons 0.

Knights:
Yet another important game this week. Depending on how Fat Bottoms did yesterday, we are likely down 1 point with 2 to play. Music City Flyers and Mastadons to close it out.
1. Game 23: Music City Flyers (10-9-2)(3rd Adams) at Jackalope Dark Knights (14-7-1)(2nd Adams) Thursday, April 11th at 7:10 PM, Rink A, Blacks. We’ve secured at least 2nd place in the division but we need to beat these guys to have a shot at first place.
2. Game 22: Jackalope Dark Knights 5, Stingrays 4, OT. Special shout out to Ben in the shootout. Also to Steve, Jim, and James who scored goals in the extra frame.
3. Game 22 Areas of Concentration — Defensive responsibility – I thought we did ok on this, despite the score.
4. Jerseys: In production. We will have them by the end of May.
5. Summer Fees Due April 15th: IF YOU HAVEN’T SIGNED UP ON THE POLL FOR PLAYING THIS SUMMER, PLEASE DO SO IMMEDIATELY. $185 for summer league fees. Due date is the last game of the season.
That is all. GOOD KNIGHT NOW!!!
PS. I have an extra pair of shoulder pads from last game and Cato has an extra helmet. Claim them now or forever hold your peace.
