| Over-30 Old Time Hockey League |
The parking lot and street games are long gone, but the passion and desire to play competitive hockey resides in our hearts and minds.., now it's just played through aging, sore, and over-weight bodies.

Over-30 league games postponement update
Governor Baker has implemented a phased-in re-opening approach for businesses to resume operating as of May 18. The Over-30 league is currently working with Hockeytown management to obtain clarity, timelines and guidelines to follow affecting the league resuming operations. Once the league has answers to multiple questions, it will share this with all players and game officials.
Until this clarification is given no further action will be taken by the league on resuming operations.
Three points I want to make very clear to everyone are:
- It is the intent of the league to make up ALL these impacted games of the Spring 2020 season at a later date/time TBD. The league has contingency plans in place of implementing a condensed make-up schedule. The league will NOT move on to the next season UNTIL ALL games of the Spring 2020 season are completed and a champion is crowned!
- Players should understand that the league may resume play and finish the current season during the summer months or longer and for each player there could be a prolonged wait time before resuming play. Players should also be aware that once the rescheduled Spring 2020 season ends, the league will move right into the next season.
- All players will receive a separate group email notification in mid-May requesting every player's playing status, shirt numbers and sizes as well as any changes in your personal contact information so that the new draft can be organized for the 2020-21 seasons.
The league will do its best to give all league participants as much advance notification as possible, pending how long this shutdown lasts.
The league will continue to provide updates on the home page of the website, as well as send out a group email notification, to keep all players, referees, timer and adminsitrative personel advised.
The health of every player, referee, timer and administrative personnel is of primary focus and concern of the Over-30 league.

AARP Award
When your turn 50 you get to look forward to two things.., a colonoscopy and your AARP membership card in the mail.
Now the Over-30 League is giving our senior players something else to look forward to each week with the new Over-50 players (only) weekly award.., with the new “Almost Approaching Retirement Player” of the week.
This small recognition is a two-fold award. One part is the recognition that you’re still competing at a recognizable level of play.., and the second part is you’re probably scared of retirement and social security income.., so we are awarding a $5 Scratch Ticket to the Over-50 weekly player with the hopes of adding to his retirement income. This could be your Over-30 League pension if you’re lucky enough like recently eligible defenseman Matty Iannello.
This single vote caster shall remain totally anonymous so as to not be bribed, threatened, coerced, or intimidated into voting for a particular player.., as we don’t want any collusion or potential meddling by the Russians.
Most of all.., these young “Whippersnappers” can’t win the award.., even if you 49-years and 364-days old.., you’re too young and you can’t win. You have to be 50!

| Over-30 Rules clarification |
Attention all players
Clarification of the Lob Rule
Effective immediately going forward, clarification of the Over-30 league "Lob Rule" is as follows and the referees and timer have been made aware of this clarification.
The determination of a lob will be at the "discretion of the referee." The referee will base thier decision on the "intent" of the player making the lob and how they lifted the ball into the air. If the ball is shot "significantly" above the heads of players on the rink and "crosses two lines," the whistle will be blown resulting in a stoppage of play with a warning given to the offending team on the first offense. If said team commits a second lob offense in the same game, a delay of game penalty will be called.

| DUNKIN DONUT PLAYER OF THE WEEK 3-7-20 |
AWAITING PHOTO
| This week's Dunkin Donuts winner goes to Matt Farrell of Snow White. After missing half the season, out on IR with an upper body injury, Matt finally got rid of the invisibility cloak and announced he is back in dramatic fashion, factoring into four of the first five goals his team scored, with 1-goal and 3-assists in a rout of the opposition. His goal of waiting out the goalie on a breakaway and patiently scoring was a thing of beauty.
|
| FIVE GUYS PLAYER OF THE WEEK 3-7-20 |
AWAITING PHOTO
| This week's Five Guys winner goes to Chris Ducharme of Snow White. Normally playing center for his team, giving his team the best depth in the middle, Chris showed off his versatility by also filling in on defense to help out. Chris scored a goal and added an assist while also contributing the added factor of solid defense that completely shut down the opposition.
|
| DUNKIN DONUT PLAYER OF THE WEEK 2-29-20 |
AWAITING PHOTO
| This week's Dunkin Donuts winner goes to Nick Doherty of Jake-O-Lanterns. With his team facing a three goal deficit after one period, Nick took it upon himself to get back into the game by scoring 3-goals (some would say 4) and assisting on another in the second period, then capping it off by scoring the game winner in overtime, for a total of 4-goals. Nick factored in five of his team's six goals scored while leading the way in snapping that five game losing streak.
|
| FIVE GUYS PLAYER OF THE WEEK 2-29-20 |
AWAITING PHOTO
| This week's Five Guys winner goes to Todd Bryson of Jake-O-Lanterns. Todd broke out offensively with some timely play making as he set up three goals in a fiver goal second period scoring outburst for his team. Todd playe a key role in his team coming back from an early three goal deficit. Todd may not be the fastest player on the rink but his rink awareness and passing made a big difference in the outcome in his game.
