Hi. My name is Tim. Pleasure to meet you! The paragraphs below give you some highlights about me. I hope you enjoy. Hockey first... I started playing hockey in 1999/2000 with my high school's JV team. I played some adult league hockey and worked at a rink from 1999 until I moved to Johnstown in 2005. I played sporadically from then until I moved to Madison in 2011. I took a year or so off just because I didn't know where to play here and I traveled a lot for work. Now, I'm finally able to join a league because I don't travel anymore. I've been with the MGHA since 2015 and have served on the Board for several of those years. I've also been a captain since 2016. More stuff... In addition to hockey, I enjoy TV, alternative music, and being outdoors. I play soccer, as well. I also used to host a music trivia / pop culture trivia / game show type-thing at a bar back home. Since moving to Madison, I now just host it for friends in my house every couple of months. My dream job is to be a game show host! Work... As far as work goes, I work for Advarra as a software tester. I've also freelanced on WMTV here in Madison. I used to work at a TV station in Johnstown, PA where I did weekend weather and produced weather graphics. It was fun, but it's nice to have a 9-5 job without having to work holidays. That's it for now.

Scrimmages and Clinics (Feb. 13, 2022)

Hey all! If you’re not planning to watch the football game on Sunday night, come join us for a night of hockey.

We’re initially planning 3 scrimmage games and a clinic for beginner / intermediate players. We have room to grow if there’s enough interest, though.

We’re still ironing out the details of the clinic, but we’re thinking it will be contact-focused. We’ll show the dos and don’ts of contact in the league along with some drills to drive home those themes. You may sign up for the clinic AND a scrimmage slot.

We will also have a GOALIE CURIOUS clinic led by Gene where you can strap on the pads and give it a shot without the pressure of a game. These slots are limited since so much equipment is required. Equipment will be available and helpers to assist.

If we fill a slot and that is the safest slot for a different player, we may ask those who can comfortably play at another time slot to shift to make room for someone who fits better in that slot. Thanks for your understanding!

And please sign up early so that we have an idea of exactly how many slots we need. In an effort to be fully transparent, we’re keeping the number of slots low to begin with because we don’t normally get a huge turnout. If turnout ends up being greater than expected, we can and will assess and add a slot, likely at either 4:30 PM or 7:20 PM.

Scrimmages (Jan. 9, 2022)

Hey everyone! With the surge in COVID cases and an uptick in absences, we’re opting for scrimmages instead of games this week.

We have four slots currently scheduled, but, should the need arise, we’ll augment our schedule with an additional slot. If that happens, the first slot added will be at 4:30 PM. Please reach out if the slots are filling up and you don’t have a place to sign up.

In addition to the scrimmages, David Parter has volunteered to coach a clinic for beginner/intermediate players on positioning and basic skills. You may sign up for this clinic AND a scrimmage. Once the clinic slots are full, they are full.

If we fill a slot and that is the safest slot for a different player, we may ask those who can comfortably play at another time slot to shift to make room for someone who fits better in that slot.

Thanks for your understanding!

Scrimmages (November 28, 2021)

Hey everyone! We’re having scrimmages this week due to Thanksgiving and a lot of our players being away.

We have four slots currently scheduled, but, should the need arise, we’ll add another. If that happens, it would be at 6:50 PM and will likely be an intermediate session.

If we fill a slot and that is the safest slot for a player, we may ask those who can comfortably play at another time slot to shift to make room for someone who fits better in that slot.

Thanks for your understanding!
