After one of its longest dry spells (well over 2 months) in recent memory, VRH would finally hit the pavement of Ambleside once again. Even so, the player turnout would be sparse with only 5 skaters. Sam Lam’s long awaited return from exile at Quadra Island, dealing with ...

With an over-a-month long hockey drought and only a small session the week before that only happened due to the sheer force of will of the players involved (i.e., shorthanded and a non-typical goalie, Rob, willing to play net), VRH would finally see a proper full session once again. In ...

This would be a session in which two major events played out. The
first was Rob agreeing to play goal in lieu of half court. The second
was Ryan showing us how prolific he can be as a scorer. Perhaps it was
that his roller team is just hitting playoff form, but Ryan ...

Temperature scale: 9/10 (almost perfect; just slightly too warm for some)

One can only float on the memories of days gone by,
When the sun shone strong, and the pavement was dry.
There was much struggle to get to the rink,
Traffic backed-up because of a bridge-climbing dink.
Most ...

It was a beautiful, sunny morning. The air was crisp and the streets were packed with people celebrating Chinese New Year. We snaked our way through traffic to the old, stagnant court. Long forgotten, it had been waiting many months for VRH to return. As if the court knew we ...
