Displaying boxscores for All Leagues in 2012.
November 11, 2012
After more than a month of VRH Commissioner (and rain-maker) Kyle Garry Kuschman's lockout, negotiations finally appeared to be headed in the right direction. VRHPA President Bernald Fehr-Kappus, along with Special Counsel Olstever Ferh-Kappus and Player Representative Sydphan Klopsby, presented Kuschman's latest verbal proposals to the VRHPA membership. ...

The Arena crew needed twelve players tonight to keep the rental agreement on the rink going, but, alas, only ten players showed up. As such, this would be it for now in the Arena, but if the gang was going to out, they were going to do it in ...
July 17, 2012
Anyone hoping for improved rink conditions tonight had to be disappointed upon arriving at the Nakusp Arena. The visible oil might have been gone from the rink surface, but two weeks out from Canada Day and the rink is still slippery and treacherous thanks to dirt and oil. ...
July 10, 2012
The Arena League took last week off due to the rainout of the Nakusp Canada Day events, which forced the celebration onto the Arena floor as an emergency back-up, in the process leaving the rink in no condition to play on. Nine days after the celebration, it still wasn’t ...

Tonight had ‘wide-open’ written all over it from the start. Even with 20 skaters tonight, it felt right from the beginning as though there was potential to have the highest-scoring session yet in the Arena. Indeed, that is exactly what would go down in the last session of ...
June 19, 2012
For about one-fourth of tonight’s roster, tonight would be the first night of hockey as high school graduates (and the first session after two weekend of debauchery for many of them). As a result, a very festive atmosphere permeated the dressing room – but would it carry over onto ...
June 10, 2012
This was the VRH session that never should have happened; it was as if Black Magic Murphy himself just did not want us to play hockey on this day. But despite all manner of obstacles, hockey we did play. With a few key regulars out in Point Roberts, low ...
May 29, 2012
The largest session ever, and not a single goalie to be found. As player after player streamed into the Arena dressing room, each one was asked to play goal to make up for the absent Brodie and Laird; each one steadfastly refused. Eventually Kyle and Kris (who himself ...

Tonight would be a strong test of how players invested in Monday and Wednesday night softball would fare playing a hockey session in between on Tuesday. Making their Arena League debuts tonight would be Andrew Martens and Colton Dachwitz. With no Laird Bilinski around, Kris James would play ...
May 15, 2012
The juggernaut that is roller hockey is truly an awesome beast. You cannot overwhelm it; you can only hope to contain it. Tonight it would be contained within the confines of the Nakusp & District Sports Complex as a record 25 hockey warriors suited up and took to ...

Tuesday night at the Nakusp Arena would be rather interesting, for it would be the first Arena session without founder Zac Wethal, away for the day on business. With five different sessions scoring leaders after three sessions, who would emerge as a dominant scoring force tonight? One thing ...
May 06, 2012
VRH would again hit the rink at Ambleside on perhaps the warmest day of the year so far. The heat of the blazing sun was kept at bay by the more moderate ocean-side temperatures and cool breeze off the water.
What at first seemed like a smaller session wound ...

After successfully establishing itself in the Nakusp Arena, it was time for Burton Hockey to return to its ancestral home. Burton United Socialist Hockey would kick off its thirteenth season this afternoon, a number we’re sure no one thought was possible back in April 2000. There were numerous ...
May 03, 2012
Just nine days into the new league and they’re already scheduling Thursday sessions. This big question heading into Arena League III tonight was the condition of the playing surface. Plagued by moisture on Tuesday, the rink was thankfully back to normal tonight as another huge roster of 17 ...
May 01, 2012
After the blazing success of last week, it was time to do it again with the second session at the arena. Today would be a rare no-sub affair, as about half of last week’s roster was indeed in the building, but they were upstairs dressed in suits and ties ...
April 29, 2012
Today would see a return of a deluge of players to Ambleside, allowing for 2 subs on each team. The quick on-off shifts would up the energy level and create a very intense session once again. As has become commonplace recently, Dom and Stu would man the pipes.
Three ...

24 April 2012 will go down as the start of something new, something big: a new hockey movement in Nakusp, BC. No longer are players forced to hang up their ice skates at the end of March and call it a year. No longer will players have to ...
April 14, 2012
Last week VRH was an intense energy filled event; yesterday has close to the opposite. 7 skaters and a slew of hockey games the night before might have attributed to the collective hangover. Perhaps because of that we were able to get a good 7 games in. Dom and ...
April 08, 2012
The warm weather (in fact the warmest day of the year so far in all likelihood) on this day would bring out the players in droves. 10 skaters for most of the day, 2 subs on each team with a timer, would see many quick shifts and an intensity ...
March 24, 2012
Such a day there could not have been that would have been more perfect for hockey. The sun was blazing with not a single cloud in the sky, crisp spring air kept the temps mild but moderate. The birds were out singing in all their glory.
A couple of randomized ...

The weather forecasting in Vancouver has been absolutely abysmal lately, often indicating widespread rain with little-to-no precipitation being the actual result. Luckily for us this was the case once again on Sunday, a 60% POP produced an overcast but dry day, perfectly fine for some VRH action at Ambleside. ...
February 26, 2012
A sunny but slightly chilly day at Ambleside would see VRH finally have its second session of the year. Numbers were low today with a couple maybes out and Shay canceling last minute (out with “flu-like symptomsâ€). Luckily we were blessed by a surprise appearance from none other ...
February 04, 2012
After 2 months of almost solid rain (and a little snow to boot) on weekends, finally the sun would grace us with its presence once again and VRH would see its inaugural session of 2012. With temps expected to get up to 10 degrees centigrade, this was indeed an ...
