I’m looking for a few people that are interested in playing pick-up hockey on Saturday nights at Eagan Civic Arena. We occasionally have some ex-D1 guys, all the way down to people that haven’t played organized hockey before. Everyone knows the rules so it's not like there is some Melvin that is always offsides or anything.

There’s always two goalies (we had one that didn't show about three years ago, but he hasn't been invited back since). It would be great to get a few more guys that at least played H.S. hockey. Right now, I would say 70% of the guys played at least H.S.. We have the ice for 1.5 hours and split the cost by the number of guys that show up. It usually is $6-$8 but could be as high as $9. Still not bad for an hour and half of hockey. We like to have 14-20 guys, but lately we have only had 10-12 showing up.

Rules are just like any open hockey. Slap shots are fine but keep them low if anyone is in front of the net. No checking, no fighting, blah, blah, blah.

Some guys wear full equipment, but most just wear helmet (required), skates, shin pads, elbow pads, gloves, and cup. The age of the guys range from 22-50.

It's all about having fun and getting some exercise! No one is playing for the Canada Cup here. The schedule is posted on this HSOforum: www.hellfishhockey.com

This is not an arena sponsored deal. The ice is rented under Serafini hockey. Check out the HSOforum and come out if your interested. You can ask for Serafini or Smitty (that’s me). I will check back for replies if anyone has any questions.

I think I played with you guys before... It was a fun skate. I'm doing Fridays in Roseville, as well as league play. I'll keep your reminder if I have a Saturday open, and send your info along.

Hockey Regards,

Pete

      If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.

      Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...

      Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
