Final Game of the 2016-17 hockey season?

Sorry for the abrupt cancellation of the 9 March game. We were as surprised by the game time change as you were.

Is this the Final Game of the 2016-2017 Season?

We debated cancelling the remaining games this season as well, but we thought we would give it a try and see if enough players and goalies sign up to make it possible to play next week. So this is a test, of sorts. If we get enough players for next Thursday’s game, we will continue to organize games until the Main Street Arena closes on April 2. If not, that’s the end of the season at MSA for the Sperry Marine Hockey Club. So it’s up to you.

Sperry Hockey Cancelled Thursday March 9 2017

I’m sorry to say there will be no Sperry hockey game on Thursday, March 9, 2017. This may or may not come as a shock to you. The reason for this was a rather abrupt schedule change we were handed on Friday afternoon. Min Street Arena Manager, Will van der Linde, informed us that Hockey Director, Gary Jones, had pushed the Sperry time back from its usual starting time to 10:30 PM due to the adult league hockey schedule. We knew nothing about this ahead of time, or we would’ve certainly alerted you. Because of this late game time, plus the fact that it’s the time of year when league games are plentiful and densely packed, we decided to cancel this game.

Charlottesville Rink Closes April 30 2015

The Main Street Arena is scheduled to close the rink for the 2014-2015 season on Thursday, April 30, 2015. Sperry plays at 9:00 that night, so we we may have the last ice time of the season. Thanks for another great season of Sperry hockey!

David Delamere will try to schedule some games in Richmond during the summer, so keep your eyes open for a signup message in your inbox. Ice times will probably be scarce this summer though, because the LaHaye Ice Center is closed for the summer while the rink is renovated and expanded in Lynchburg.

Have a great summer, and we’ll see you on the ice when the Charlottesville rink reopens in the fall.
