Whilst they don't post on here I'm pretty sure they do read here, so I'm making this offer to the club publically:
Firstly, I don't believe the EIHL rules on game bans in the final 5 minutes is an automatic ban is correct. If it is, then the club should IMO appeal the original game penalties as IMO they shouldn't be anymore than 2+2.
However, I am willing to offer my services to the club to exploit this mistake/loophole in the EIHL rule book.
-Register me as a player. I'll admit my skating can only be rated as 2/10 - but that is still 1 better than Sharps. I also promise to practise and workout in the gym everyday to bulk up.
-We have several double-headers over the season. When we have one of these (e.g. this weekend) - pick me for the Saturday game. For the first 58 minutes I shall happily warm the bench, fill the water bottles up etc etc.
However, with 2 minutes to go - give me a shift on the ice. I shall pick out the oppositions best player and once the puck is dropped I will jump him from behind. After quickly wrestling him to the ground I shall continue to punch him like a complete coward. The opposition players will then charge in and try and pull me off.
If I'm lucky I might be able to drag in 2 plus the original person I jumped. EIHL rules will then state that these all get automatic game penalties, which are then upgraded to a match penalty.
So I will miss the Sunday game, but the opposition will miss up to 3 first line players.
Sorted.
