  • Megan takes one for the team!

    I’ve been trying to avoid over-running the site with hockey videos from the Nationals, but this one definitely deserves it’s own post 😛

    I’ve also posted a higher resolution version here.

  • NZIHF Nationals videos

    The New Zealand National Ice Hockey Championships are on in Dunedin at the moment. I’ll be videoing a few of the games to post on here. I’m not bothering to play as I object to the ~$200/game fee!

  • Aardwolfs on/in Manorburn dam

    During the Christchurch Aardwolfs Southern Migration we stopped off at the Manorburn dam to see what the ice was like. We expected to see nothing but water, but a slither of ice on the bottom basin was enough to give our resident

    ice expert Clive the hope to have a crack at skating on the top basin. So we trudged up the valley and had a gander at the ice up there. Apparently there was enough ice in the middle to skate on, but getting their proved a tad treacherous!

    Ted had a decent crack at standing on the ice but kept dipping his foot into the water. He even clambered over a branch like a monkey to reach the ice further toward the center which looked skateable, but couldn’t quite make it far enough from the shore.

  • Fairlie ice rink

    We visited the Fairlie ice rink during the Aardwolfs Southern Migration. Not a lot to see really, just a mud bog!

    The Aardwolfs babes provided some amusement by strutting their stuff for the camera.
