That’s right, I said 82-0. And we’re not talking the world’s elite vs. a pickup game at a learn-to-play session either. The Slovakia women’s team beat the Bulgarian women’s hockey team by a score of 82-0.
I found the following video clips on YouTube for those of you who just have to slow down and watch the train wreck. Considering all of the high-speed play you might expect, there really doesn’t appear to be much defense 
. However, some of the best saves were made after Bulgaria decided to make a run for a comeback and actually pulled their goalie after the score hit 77-0.
One quick explanation. If a player covers the puck in the crease when the goalie is off the ice, a penalty shot is awarded. A player (non-goalie) can play the position of goalie but they are not allowed additional equipment and do not have goalie privledges that allow them to freeze the puck in the crease or hold it in their hand.
Of course, after a tight, physical battle of this nature, the last clip does include a little bullying and eventually a match penalty as well. I’m sure that the crowd (which you can’t see a single person in the stands) really enjoyed the contest.

WIHOA (Wasatch Ice Hockey Officials Association) is looking for the few, the proud, the on-ice officials. Anyone interested can contact WIHOA or visit their website at www.utahrefs.com for more information.
New officials will be required to register with USA Hockey, pass USA Hockey’s open-book, online exam, pass a written exam and attend a training session. Upcoming training sessions are available this Saturday and again on 9/20, 10/18 and 10/25. Click here for more information or contact us for additional details.
Certified Ice Hockey Officials earn between $18 and $45 per game and must be at least 12 years old. Being an on-ice official is a great way to earn a little extra money and learn even more about the great sport of ice hockey.
Just a few quick announcements. First off, DCYHA wanted me to remind everyone that registration for the upcoming youth hockey season is tonight at the South Davis Recreation Center.
DCYHA provides house teams and travel teams for boys and girls between the ages of 3 and 15 years old.
REGISTRATION is set for Thursday, September 4th from 6:00 – 8:00 pm. We will meet upstairs in Meeting Room B at the SDRC.
