3rd Annual Israel Ice Hockey Tournament
It’s not a joke; it’s an annual gathering of Jewish puck heads in the sole ice sheet with Jewish soul. The Israel Ice Hockey Tournament is a chance to play hockey in the northern town of Metulla, at the Israel Canada Center (home of various Olympic figure skaters and the Israeli national ice hockey team — also the only place that lists “buffet” as an activity on the daily tote board).
I’m thinking seriously about going, and would be willing to organize a team of “C” or “D” level skaters to compete representing the United States of Beer League and Mezuzot. And if the hockey slap shooting isn’t so great, there’s a wonderful school for security guard training fairly close by where you can rent an Uzi by the clip for target practice.

Hey we just launched a pick up hockey finder website and are hoping to have a few hockey bloggers post a note about it or add us to the blogroll.
pickuphockeyfinder.com is basically a tool for players to find game, as well as for organizers to post and promote games.
We are starting in our home area of Minneapolis but already have a few organizers of pickup hockey asking about using the system for their games (one in Boston and one in Seattle). Our dream is for people to be able to find a pickup game all over North America.
Let me know if you would be willing to do a quick blurb about it.
