No more hockey????

Was going over the navigators on Dave's sight and..... isn't NHL skills offered for the 10-12 yr olds anymore? This is NOT good for my DS as this is all he is talking about! I think I'm in trouble and how do I break it to him? Maybe they'll offer it again by Oct????

 

[charlotte61]

Hey, what's the NHL skills??? My DD's love HOCKEY and that sounds like something they'd love........
BTW - Tonight's the night!!

GO 'CANES!!!

The old navigators on Dave's sight (I think dated December 2001) had NHL Skills Challenge (hockey games) on the Sports Deck as an activity on St. Maarten afternoon for the 10-12's and also for everyone on Thurs (sea day) afternoon. Ian saw it and his eyes lit up!!!! NOW it's NOT there!!!!! ohhhh nooooo.

Good luck tonight!

The offered it on our April cruise. They put a couple nets out in the basketball court and the kids can play ball hockey. It was offered for the 10-12 years old club and also on the regular navagator, open to all kids.

It was just what my hockey addicted kids (and husband) needed to get them over hockey withdrawls. We had 15 foot seas and it still didn't stop them from playing!


It would be a shame if they discontinued it.

PS: Odd man out here, but GO RED WINGS!

On our recent May 11th cruise on the Magic the NHL challenge was on Thursday at 10 am.

Me and my son (5) had agreat time playing pickup hockey with about 15 or so fellow cruisers. Played Dads against the kids.

A great time was had by all, but I still feel bad about the little guy from Toronto who seemed to get hurt every time I shot the ball.
He was tough though and the little ones ran circles around us parents.

It would have been great thogh if they had made the euipment available at other times, as it seemed the court it shares with the volleyball setup was not used most of the time, and since we didnt bring our own stuff, just watched it go to waste.

On the Thursday at Sea Navigator, it is listed at 10am: NHL Skills Challenge: Test your hockey skills at the Wide World of Sports Deck10, Forward

Hope this helps

 

[disney6]

Thanks ilovemky. Unfortunately that was on the Western and I can't find it anywhere on the Eastern navigators (we'll be on the Eastern). Hopefully it'll show up again. Maybe just taking a break and trying something different that week! BTW- are we allowed to take our own equipment? - sticks and tennis balls? THAT would be great!!!!

HOW 'BOUT THEM CANES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope they have the games televised in the ESPN skybox so we can watch the 'CANES beat the Wings!!! that is if we don't beat them in 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone know if this is the type of things they show on the screen?

 

[disney6]

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My DS wasn't happy as he is a Red Wing fan (I TOLD him you always root for the team that beat you so you are eliminated by the best but he said no - oh well!)

I hope you can get the games - if necessary

 

[Noonan85]

Since the games are on ESPN you will see them on the Giant screen as well as the smaller ones inside. The ones inside although smaller are much better than the giant screen.

On the may 11 cruise the playoffs were on all the time. It was great to watch the games with so many different fans as opposed to the one sided group you find at the local hangout.

Have a great time.

CANES ARE NUMBER 1 THEY ARE GOING ALL THE WAY!!! GO CANES!

All the playoff games were on in the ESPN Skybox during our 5/25 Magic trip. It is a great place to watch games and the bartenders - Miguel and Daniel are great. By the way, Daniel is a Leaf's fan - so you Cane's fans can give him some greif. Also, if you go up there - tell Daniel that Scott wanted to be sure he was still working out at the gym regularly.

WINGS in 5.

Disney6-

I don't know about bringing sticks on the boat, but my 7 year old son brought our local airport to a stand still by trying to carry on his 18 inch Red Wings souvenier hockey stick on the plane (he won't leave home without it!) He was forced to surrender it and have it lock up during the flight.

Must have been Carolina fans....

 

[charlotte61]

Two4Ruff -

Why the dis? I've just been cheering on the 'CANES enjoying the ride, and looking forward to a vacation!

 

[disney6]

two4ruff-
We too have travelled by air with hockey sticks and they had to be checked! Last Xmas from Toronto to Atlanta - nobody batted an eye when my son carried his stick through the airport here but in Atlanta......... Just wondered if he brought it if they'd let him and his buddy play when no one else was using the courts. Maybe this is a question I should email Disney with ???

Hey charlotte61 - missing our pm during the series!!!! maybe you can banter with two4ruff.........

okay, okay, okay.......go canes (that hurts )

Charlotte61-

No dis intended!!

At our house, any hockey in June is good hockey! We just hoping for a game 7. Besides, who else can I blame for confiscating a Red Wing stick?
