The Curling Coyote is back in the hack!

In this era of blogs and myspace accounts, computers on every desktop, high speed internet, Wi-Fi, Blackberry's, Treo's, iPhone, text messages, talking email, picture mail.... the chance for a little newsletter being actually read (if it got through your spam blocker) is pretty slim. But what better way to get news and share the excitement of our desert curling club? Well ladies and gentlemen, here it is. "HACK CHAT" is here to provide an interactive space to post and reply and post again. You have the hammer.

I'll start this post off with a long overdue welcome to all new and returning members of the Coyotes Curling Club for the Fall, 2007 season! What an awesome start with 10 full teams playing on 5 sheets of ice!

New rocks... new brooms... new sliders... it feels like it is coming all together doesn't it? Did you know the Ice Den provided the brooms and sliders? They also are working very hard to make sure our ice is ideal... have you noticed a difference? For those of us who have been here from the beginning, I'll just say the difference is amazing! Thank you, Ice Den!

There are lots of exciting things happening within and around our club... Hockey Night Fund-Raiser (November 15th), Coyotes 50-50 Raffle (November 24th), Hat Logo Contest, and the ever changing, always fun, semi-competitive round robin curling season that is nearly half over! We've been to bonspiels, we've played shuffleboard, and we are looking forward to putting teams together to compete in Mopac and regional competitions. Check out the website for more details. http://www.coyotescurling.com/

It feels great to be back in the hack, back on the ice, and back to Saturday night curling! I invite anyone and everyone to comment back and share ideas or news for the club here. If you are reading this blog and you belong to another club, please post your info regarding upcoming bonspiels and events, and links to your website. If you are reading this and are in the Phoenix area, come check us out at the Alltel Ice Den, 9375 E Bell Rd in Scottsdale. We curl every Saturday 9pm-11pm, with broomstacking at the co-located Peter Piper Pizza Pub. Hope to see you there!

Good Curling!
