Thanks, that's all for now. Yours Truly, Dan Walker BSHL Commissioner TUESDAY, MAY 6th 2008 New site launched! I did a revamp of thebshl.com and finally got it online. Check out all of the sections for the newest BSHL news, scores, standings, stats and upcoming games. Check back often because it will be updated very regularly. This past week, May 4th, was an unbelievable home opener for the '08 season. All teams showed up ready to play, and the competition was fierce right from the beginning. I am more than excited for this season and can already tell it's going to be the best one to date. The Quest for the Cup starts right now! SATURDAY, MARCH 1st 2008 Welcome to www.thebshl.com, the official site of the Burlington Street Hockey League. The 2008 season quickly approaches, and this site is designed to help you learn everything you need to know about the rules and regulations of the '08 season and how you can register your team into competition. Eventually, I will launch a full site with teams, standings, scores, and so on. We are three seasons in, and every year the league has grown in many ways. Each year has seen more teams join, and with them, new enthusiastic players. Last year saw the introduction of referees, a BSHL All-Star game, and the Beast winning the first ever Walker Cup (their third title, however). We saw the level of dedication and commitment go up drastically, pushing the BSHL's reputation even further along and to many more people. The 2008 season promises to be our best ever. With word of the BSHL so widespread, the anticipation for the '08 season is strong. New rules allow for stricter refereeing, roster management, player suspensions, and much more. Look forward to the '08 All-Star game in July, and scheduled BSHL camping and other trips throughout the summer. We have also introduced a BSHL Players Association, including some of the leagues greatest vets, as well as new, eager faces that have shown initiative within the league. They will work as a communicator for all of the league's players. The P.A. will help in the smooth running of the league, as well as offering a democratic solution to any new problems that arise (and judging by last season, there should be plenty). My philosophy has always been to play street hockey like we used to do as kids. No real rules; no boundaries. The necessity of some kind of structure is important to the league, but only to the point of keeping things un-chaotic. There are set teams, there is a schedule, and there are some rules in place, but the ideals are about stripped-down, untouched Canadian street hockey. The charm lies within the freedom you have as a team and as a player. The appeal lies in the friendship and comradery found in Sunday nights. Strap on your blades, grab your stick, and hits the courts. I'm very confident that this year is going to be an amazing summer of hockey. I encourage you to get your team together, throw in a registration, and start getting very stoked on the coming season.
