Social hockey for Men not participating in the NHL 1/2 teams will run concurrently through March to June. Women's social hockey due to lack of numbers runs in the second half of the year after the NHL season. Note that women (even beginners) may all try out for the NHL league teams due to the nature of the competition, but, due to excess numbers and safety may only be able to participate in the social leagues later in the year at a reduced cost.

Probably most excitingly we have recruited new talent to the team and look forward to working with them for the year 2018:

RESULTS
All about INDOOR this week with the ladies having a one day off tournament for their yearly indoor experience.
Last Saturday, 7 ladies tested out their indoor skills in the annual SHF indoor tournament. coming 4th overall following a last minute disallowed goal in the semi-finals vs. Balestier lions to loose 2-1.
We started off surprisingly well considering our indoor skills were so rusty, but sadly went down 0-1 to the eventual winners, SCC. We then got into the groove, drawing the next games vs. Balestier Lions and winning the next 3 games - being the highest scoring team! This took us to the semi-finals where we unfortunately lost.' A good representation from people who had and hadn't played before and a good platform for more indoor in the future.
I've missed a few weekends so I have two write ups for mens indoor from Captain Akhter:
VS Jansenites: Great stuff & solid effort from Tornados to contain top of the league Jansenites at 2-8. Two goals coming in from Dave K & Eric. Some really awesome saves by goalie Leo. Lack of fitness & bench key factors in the loss.
VS Khalsa last weekend: 1-4 loss vs Khalsa. Our scorer Dave K. Good effort but hard luck, missed a few chances & conceded a couple towards tge end.
Ladies finished of LIGA with a lack of players conceding two losses to end their season neck and neck in 7th and 8th position for the second year in a row showing how similar the teams were.

Mens:
Mens vs Jansenites LOSS 2-8

THC - Roger's Update - 31st October 2017
Q: Why did the ghost go into the bar?
TRICK OR TREAT!

Last week we had a riddle that for once challenged some of you. The answer was, 'OR', I know, sneaky right! This week:
A man wants to enter an exclusive club, but he doesn't know the password. Another man walks to the door and the doorman says 12, the man says 6, and is let in. Another man walks up and the doorman says 6, the man says 3, and is let in. Thinking he had heard enough, he walks up to the door and the doorman says 10, he says 5, and he isn't let in. What should he have said?
Happy All Hallows' Eve
Love Roger

RESULTS
The last weekend for both mens 3's and 4's leagues, and both teams ended on a high.
The mens 3's grabbed silver after a good win over SCC with 2 goals disallowed making the difference 3-0, which didn't reflect the strength displayed in the silver winners team.
Mens 4's had an excellent win after settling into their game in the second half to win 3-0 over a speedy Eagles team. Goals came from Inners, Hari and Zhen with some strong defence to catapault the men up the ladder finishing on equal points with Polytechnic. One more win rather than a draw would have seen them in the top 5. So a good season from the fours team this year as well.
The ladies have only a game or two to finish off their LIGA season. The White team took the trip out to Sengkang on Sunday morning to execute a punishing win over the U14 rising stars. Out matched and out classed the ladies gathered another 3 points. The red team played a hard game with some great tackles and passing with low numbers they were only just beaten in a close 2-3 loss.
The Slams got the scoring skills up for the mens 1's with some big wins.
LEAGUE
Mens:
Mens 3's vs SCC WIN 3-0
Mens 4's vs Eagles WIN 3-0

Hopefully this one may take you more than a 30 seconds:

RESULTS
I didn't get to see the BIG GAME on Sunday vs the Rising stars but I do know that the boys were keen and it seems that they took it home all the way. Well done 3's lads.
The mens summer slams competition started off in great fashion with the boys dusting off some cobwebs and running about boonlay for a draw and win.
The ladies thankfully had Sunday morning to recover from the flowing beers at Agro. Unfortunately some girls (cough) noticed that the recovery wasn't enough and struggled in the heat of the day. A loss and a win to each of the teams.

THC - Roger's Update - 17th October 2017
Q: How do you spot the blind guy at the nudist colony?
Hi Tornados!
Mid week holidays are the best aren't they... in light of this we are giving EVERYONE the day off from hockey too. Training has been cancelled due to low numbers and the need for a week off for 'some' of us.
This weekend we have the spooktackular AGRO cup. So save yourself for some fun!
Last week we had a riddle that many thought were too easy. The answer was, of course, 'GRAPE'
Hopefully this one may take you at least more than a few minutes:
You can crack me; You can make me; You can tell me; You can play me. What am I?
May Deepawali the festival of lights illuminate your life and bring the shower of glory, prosperity, health and peace!
Happy Deepavali.
Love Roger
