Incredibles

It’s absolutely incredible. You stand at the edge of Mitford Pond, surrounded by a Cochrane winter in January, and Lindsay Kimmett is on the ice. She’s on the ice then, and she’s on the ice now. She’s in the stands, she’s volunteering behind the scenes, she’s bringing energy and excitement and enthusiasm to the day. Her day. Our day. The Kimmett Cup. The Pond, the rink, and all of Cochrane are fuelled by Lindsay’s Legacy, and for the seventh straight year, so is our team.

Baby Incredibles

It has been 6 years since the Baby Incredibles have been born into the frigid wasteland that is the Kimmett Cup. It was a time when going to the washroom during the tournament ment risking frostbite. When there was just a billowing bleak landscape of blowing snow, frigid ice, – 25 degree weather and a single sponser flag hanging off a desolate bleacher. Much has changed. The tournament has grown to epic proportions and thankfully going to the washroom is no longer a hazard. Once again we are back….no better then before….we may age and yet every year we play this wonderful tournament it is as if it takes us back to the first year, the bleak year when it was, and still is, all about hockey. Hockey is what we do, Lindsey is why we do it. So lets suit up, wear the 25 and skate wobbily onto the ice. Now if we only had some hockey powers.

We Are Almost Family

This year our team changed our name back to “We are Almost Family” because there is a member of our team that by next year this time will officially be a Kimmett! That someone is Leslie Erven who is engaged to Reid Kimmett. We also recruited some new All-Stars this year, the Biasini Brothers. We are hoping they are the ringers of the team as they are the 2 youngest. We picked a slogan to go with each member of our team so you can get a little insight as to how we may preform on game day! Leslie Erven: Don’t get through life without Goals. Sue Milledge-Fawkes: Intensity is not perfume. Spencer Faweks: 7 Days without hockey makes one weak. Rick Erven: My kid cross checked your honors student (although Ricks kid is also an honors student!). Aaron Biasini: Heart is the difference between those who attempt and those who achieve. Garrett Biasini: Our Blood, Our Sweat, Your Tears! Jocelyn Kimmett: You miss 100% of the shots you never take. See you on the ice!

We Are Family 2

Hello out there! We’re on the air, It’s Pond Hockey Night tonight; Tension grows, the whistle blows, And the puck rolls down the ice. Craig Vassie jumps, and the Marcial bumps, And the refs go insane; Someone roars, “Pegger scores!” At the good old hockey game. Oh! The good old pond hockey game, Is the best game you can name; And the best game you can name, Is the good old pond Hockey game! [spoken] “Second period….” Where the Koss’s dash with skates a-flash, The home team trails behind; But Steph grabs the puck and goes bursting up, And Dayne’s down across the line. Tay storms the crease like a bumble bee, He travels like a burning flame; We see Poff slide the puck inside, It’s a one-one hockey game. Oh! The good old pond hockey game, Is the best game you can name; And the best game you can name, Is the good old pond Hockey game! “Third period! Last game in the playoffs, too!” Oh, take me where the hockey players Face-off down the pond; And the Kimmett Cup is all filled up, For the champs who win the drink. Now the final flick of Vass’s hockey stick, And the one gigantic scream: “The puck is in” We are Family 2 wins, The good old pond hockey game! Oh! The good old pond hockey game, Is the best game you can name; And the best game you can name, Is the good old Kimmett Cup Pond Hockey game!

Bar Down Clappers

The Bar Down Clappers have a long, storied tradition. The team formed in the Winter of 2014. It formed out of need and necessity. Some of the Clappers were a part of older organizations, older regimes. The Clappers emerged as an expansion team with fresh ideas and a fresh strategy for success. The team is built to withstand anything. They’ve got size, they’ve got speed, they’ve got tenacity, venom and fire and they’ve got Chad Newton – the decoy, the man who can confuse an entire opposition with a few spoken words. They’ve got it all and they’ve got your number!

Oilers Suck

This will be the 6th year that team Oilers Suck have participated in this tourney. We are looking to get the greatest team name back on the trophy this year to keep reminding everyone how bad the Oilers are (check the standings Oiler fans). 2 of us went to high school with Lindsay and know how important having fun while playing sports was to her and that is our mission this year. We may not look the best out there but I guarantee that we are having the most fun (maybe too much fun the night before the tourney). We also know just how much she loved the flames and detested the Oilers so we will continue to keep that memory/truth alive.

Mighty Ninjas

The Mighty Ninjas! We decided to call ourselves the Mighty Ninjas as half our team is under 5 feet tall so we figured we at least needed an intimidating name until other teams actually see us, but don’t laugh too hard because this means the tiny nets look huge to them and our tall players are all actual ninjas. As former teammates and friends of Lindsay the Mighty Ninja’s are excited to be playing in the Kimmett Cup again this year and are honoured to each wear the #25 on our backs!

Team Old School

We are a mixture of hockey players/wannabe hockey players that love the game! Most importantly though, we are here for Lindsay Leigh because this was her game. Our team is called, Team Old School because there are members on the team that knew Lindsay through our school years where memories will never be forgotten. Last year we didn’t participate due to circumstances beyond our control however with a record of 1-14 since the tournament began, we are bound and determined to make this year victorious and make other teams take notice. After taking a year off, we scouted out and inserted some new faces in the line-up with some great talent so beware, Team Old School is gonna getcha! We are going to battle hard and play the game like Lindsay’s favorite team the FLAMES and destroy all of our opponents!

Team Unreal

Led by the fearless front three of Larissa, Lily and Mandi, Team Unreal is back and stronger that ever. Honing in on their ice hockey skills during the offseason, hours of video games were played in an effort to learn those ever important “Dangles” that will help lead this team to victory. Passing skills have also been improved with numerous “Beverage” passes completed in the 12 months leading up to the 7th annual Kimmett Cup. Defense skills are still being polished, but with offense this potent, who really needs to back-check anyways? Team Unreal cannot wait to get out on the ice again this year and raise some money for such a great cause, while enjoying every moment in what is guaranteed to be a great day regardless of weather!

Mid Ice Crisis

This is our third year competing in the Kimmett Cup. We had a good showing last year but unfortunately our captain has moved away. In Paul’s absence we will resort to 2 a day practices in preparation for the tournament, well maybe a weekend practise. We weren’t able to pick up anyone as talented as Dennis Marcial at the trade deadline so we will have to rely on good luck and savvy coaching by “Old Man Demeo”.

Raucous Rotary Relics

Triple R terror is back with a vengeance in 2015. This year we have perhaps a record 4 Rotarians on the team and 3 more with Rotary DNA (at least related to Rotarians). We’ve managed to avoid 1st round elimination by scraping together the requisite number of ladies to play on our team, thereby being granted the privilege to lace ’em up and get on the ice in the first place. It’s a small victory, but we’ll take it (thanks ladies)! We have one thing in common with all the other teams – a passion for this annual tradition and a desire to see it grow year after year. See you all on Saturday the 17th!

SHREDZ SLAPPERZ SQUAD

Local hero Sam Stuart, owner of Shredz Shop, has put together a rag-tag team of skateboarders displaced by the harsh winters of Alberta. With the snow blowing and ice engulfing every corner of the skatepark Sam had no other choice than to take up the puck & stick and unleash the SHREDZ SLAPPERZ SQUAD. Stop 1? The Kimmett Cup. Stop 2? THE WORLD.

The Farm Team

Mom’s a city girl but hopefully she can learn how to stop before the tournament starts. Zack’s my younger brother and we have a lot of fun playing street hockey together. Hopefully he doesn’t come home with a bunch of bruises. My dad says he’s not 40 but I think he is. He’s also one of my hockey coaches so he’ll have lots of experience in hockey. I have no clue how well Auntie Sherri-Lynn can skate. Hopefully, she can skate better than my mom. My cousin Caleb is really funny. Hopefully, other people don’t faint because of his funny jokes. Nathan is my cousin too. I have 4 pictures of him in my wallet. We are both crazy about hockey and this is the first time we are going to get to play hockey together. My uncle Ryan just made an outdoor rink for his kids so I think he’s going to improve a little. The other mom on our team just had a baby. I don’t know her but she must be really hardcore. And my name is Landon. I’m 8 and I live in Vancouver. I love hockey and I like helping people and am excited to help these kids at Children’s Wish. See you on the ice! Additional note re: roster (as mentioned to Jason): In addition to the 10 players that are reflected on our roster, we also have two additional players (daughters of Shawna Meyers). These players are: Cadence Meyers – female – age ~9 Averi Meyers – female – age ~ 7 Total of 12 players on the roster.

Well it looks like we are back for yet another year to make a run for the cup. We spent the last year analyzing the game tapes from last year and we have decided to make a few minor changes to our line up.

Puck Junkies

Puck Junkies Origin ( A historical must-read by Ayla ) Once upon a time, a long, long time ago in a land far, far away there was a wee lad playing hockey in a backyard rink. His name: Robbie Owens. Little did we know, this lad would start and nurture the Puck Junkies storied franchise in the Kimmett Cup. Having skated, deked (or tried to!) and shot as many pucks as one could imagine in his own backyard, Robbie would decide to take his game and venture far and wide from his little town. After a long and arduous journey, Robbie would find himself in the small town of Cochrane with a new family (Annette, Ryan, Ayla and Cody). It is here where his scouting and tutoring would begin. Two key turns of fortune would happen for Robbie in Cochrane: The Mann family became his neighbors and he joined the legendary Ranchmen Oldtimers hockey team . Robbie would unknowingly begin his scouting and training for a team that was only at the edge of his imagination. It started with a family tradition of a backyard rink, where Ryan, Ayla, Cody, Alex, Chris, and Nick would learn all the fundamentals of outdoor hockey. While fun, this preparation did have its hardships: Bruised shins from the serious foul of a lifted puck; Black & Blue knees from falling and the occasional (or frequent depending on your point of view) brawl were just some of the struggles that these young prospects faced. A whole wealth of creative talent was introduced to Robbie when he signed with the Ranchmen: One of a kind Christmas gifts; Inspirational beer cards and the world renowned Richard Award. All of this creativity would play a part in the future Puck Junkies However, Robbie seemed dissatisfied with just organized, indoor hockey to scout players for the Puck Junkies. Thus began the annual Boxing Day Barrier Lake Outdoor Classic. If ever there was a venue made for pond hockey , it would be Barrier Lake in Kananaskis: Crisp temperatures, polished ice, and nestled in the heart of the towering Rocky Mountains. To-die for conditions for any outdoor hockey enthusiast. Finally, unbeknownst to Robbie, the day would come when all his hard work would be realized when Joe MacLellan and Jason Baserman started the Kimmett Cup, a 3 on 3 pond hockey tourney on Mitford Pond in the dead of winter. A fitting tribute to Lindsay Kimmett who passionately did everything she could to bring the joy of hockey into the hearts and souls of friends and co-workers, many of whom had never skated before. No other hockey team in the world had so many one-of-a-kind name bars, an innovation started by the one and only Monumental #25 The first Puck Junkies team were few in numbers but large in heart, following Annette “the Hockey Mom” team catchphrase, “Play hard, Play safe, and Have fun.” The team consisted of all the Owens, Liz Stewart and a small, unheard of hockey family named the Shelly’s. This team would go onto win the ultimate prize of the Shottie Stick. With competition even stronger than the first year, the Puck Junkies would take on a few new additions and repeat as Shottie stick champs. The third Kimmett Cup would begin a dry spell for the Puck Junkies, but don’t tell that to this team as they continue to “play hard, play safe, and have fun.” It would also see some roster changes with the Shelley family moving on and Blake Morris, the Mann, Brady, Kwas and Mitchell families joining the squad. All these new additions scouted over the years on the ponds, rinks and Ranchmen events. On to Kimmett Cup 7, where the Puck Junkies have been training hard in the offseason with trips to Barrier Lake, Booze Cup and other pre-tournament activities . They have their skates sharpened, helmet straps tightened, and sticks taped and are eagerly awaiting the chance to “play hard, play safe, and have fun”. A motto that Lindsay lived so passionately every time she hit the ice.

Puck Smugglers

We can do this the easy or hard way
In the end it remains up to you
Simply give us your pucks by the end of the day
Or there’s no telling what we might do
We aren’t here to count wins and losses
We don’t play for goals or assists
Our cross-border smuggling bosses
Just want cold hard Canadian disks
There’s no reason we can’t get along on the ice
As long as you meet our demands
Hand over your rubber and we will play nice
Keep it clean for the folks in the stands

ACH

We are the team of Pediatric Residents! We may not have any hockey experience behind us, and staying balanced on our skates will prove to be challenging, but we come excited and ready for this year’s Kimmet Cup! Working at the Alberta Children’s Hospital, we have the absolute pleasure of interacting with children and their loving families. Although we are early in our training, something has become clear to us very quickly. No matter how many medications we prescribe, we will never be able to match the therapeutic power of making a child smile. Jason Baserman, one of our incredible colleagues and tournament organizers, has given us the opportunity to do just that. Through competing in the Kimmet Cup, we can contribute to granting a child their very own wish and that is a pretty amazing feeling! The passion and energy Jason has put behind this tournament has inspired us all to become a part of it as well. Whether it is a trip to Disneyworld, or recording a song for the radio, we are proud to join the Calgary community in making dreams come true. Just don’t expect us to make the hockey highlight reel. See you on the ice!

It’ll be plain to sea our skills will finish us at the top. Our line will take all others to school. Watching the competition take the bait with sly dangles will surely hook the crowd in. Dive in and watch the competition try to keep their head above water. Wave gold goodbye folks, we’re reel serious.
