From the look of things players have started to get their wind back and hockey legs under them. Overall the games were closer than in past weeks and the competition was high. Chelsea Groton and Team Yardney remain undefeated. Chelsea Groton defeated the Bulldogs in what could be called a “spirited game”. Team Yardney snapped the Pepperhells 11 game winning streak that had carried over from last season by soundly thrashing the Pepperhells in an 11- 4 victory. Also, in the A Division EB Gold defeated EB Green and in the B division EB Green (B Div) defeated the Wildcats. Thank you all for your continued support of the league.
I would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that the GFHL is a recreational league. And although competition is encouraged we should never lose sight that we are all playing for fun and possibly exercise. There is never a reason to take any action that might injure another player. This is a non-checking league and although some body contact is expected deliberate pushing, or hands to the face, or fighting with another player will not be tolerated. Please keep this in mind when you are chasing that little orange ball around.
Take care all.

GFHL A&B Practice session updates
Hello all,
Every Thursday two practice sessions are scheduled and your attendance is requested. A Division Practice time is scheduled from 6:15 pm to 7:15 pm and B Division practice time is scheduled from 7:30 to 8:30 pm. A players are expected to show up and practice during the A Division Practice time and B Division players are expected to show up and practice during B Division time. (Some exceptions can be made but you must contact me first). Furthermore Goalies are welcome any time and the Division you play for does not matter. However, you might want to check with me to see how many goalies are expected to show.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We could still use a few more A Division players at practice. Currently most of the players taking advantage of this practice time are Chelsea Groton players. It would be wonderful to see representatives from the other A Division teams at these practice sessions. They are fun and excellent excercise.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Representatives from all 4 B division teams have been showing up for practice and the support is excellent. Special thanks to team Yardney and their devotion to practice time and the league as a whole. They are a welcome addition to the league and I hope they will return season after season. Please continue to support the B division practice time and the league by showing up and having fun.

GFHL A&B Division Practice times and Attendance
Hello all,

However, you might want to check with me to see how many goalies are expected to show.
A Division Report:
Last night we had our first practice session and attendance was minimal for A Division players with only Chelsea Groton players showing up for practice. We definitely could use a few more A Division players showing up. We did manage to have 2 teams of 3 players and goalies and the practice was successful but more support would be appreciated. Remember this is additional play time and everyone should take advantage of it.
B Division Report:
The B division turnout was stronger than the A division with representatives from EB Green, Wildcats, Yardney and the Pepperhells all turning out to play. However, a few more bodies would have been welcome. We still did not have 2 full lines. B division practice was however very successful and fun. Come on B division players please set aside this day and time for practice and support the GFHL.
Thank you all in advance and you can leave a message on this blog if you need to contact me.

New GFHL for 2006 season
New Rules for the 2006 season
1) Due to restrictions on playing surface we have gone to a 3 on 3 plus goalies game format.
2) Since we are now playing a 3 on 3 format penalties will be handled differently. If a player incurs a penalty the player receiving the penalty will go into the penalty box but the team loosing this player will still leave 3 players on the floor. The team that now has a power play will now field 4 players gaining the advantage of 1 additional player. If the team that has received a penalty receives a second penalty they will then go down to 2 players on floor and the other team will continue to have 4 players (Hence a 2 player advantage).
3) The Home bench for games will be the bench near the lobby of the school. The away team's bench will be in the corner of the gym.
4) If the ball goes out of bounds the time keeper will stop the clock. The score keeper will be keeping track of player goals and one assist. Also, there are many more instances where the ball will be considered in play as it will be bouncing off of gym structures and into play more often than it did in the old gym.
5) Faceoff areas will be marked by a tape.
6) In general all Inline roller hockey league rules apply unless otherwise specified above.
