I think we need to make this a sticky one, just like the footie one.

It's difficult to predict when my players will get their puck, just wish the MZmanager thingy was working for Hockey, but i'll just have to wait like everybody else.

Anyway managed to get 3 pucks yesterday, the most i've had for a while, unfortunately they were only for my weaker players.
Just waiting for my keeper to get his 7th puck, can't be long now.

Faron Travers - 4th Skating Puck
Urban Chance - 4th Shooting Puck

Nothing major, but 6 pucks so far this week for minor players and youths. A defender got a 4th Power puck, youth goalie moved onto 3 pucks, but nothing special :(

My back-up keeper gained his 4th ball in keeping so I don't need to panic bid to find another capable goalie...panic bidding, why what a coincidence...the expert of it posted above me. :p

stucked!

Had a few youths getting pucks and that's about it. My back up keeper, maxed at 4 (:(), has got his 2nd in play intel this week.

Just the one puck this morning. A bit of power for one of the first teamers, hopefully he shouldn't get knocked over as much now:rolleyes:

A hugely satisfying 3 pucks this morning make it 9 in total for the week. 4th line defender got 3rd for Checking, youth got 4th for Shooting and the other one was irrelevent. Just about well-equipped enough to take on phippard on sunday :)

My 18 y.o. youth gained his 5th for power today. I'm moving him onto skating now to get him up to three as I've noticed in all my matches whenever he slows down he struggles to pick his rhythm back up and that costs goals.

k this is weird, I was just about to make this thread for hockey :o

well, no pucks Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, but I got one yesterday, and then this happened today (H)

Tyson got his 4th in keeping (19yo) and Yeager's 4th in shooting (also 4 in passing and puck control) (Y)

Woohoo 3 pucks today! Quickness for 2 first teamers and a passing puck for one of me half decent youths.

With a bit of luck should get 3 a day from now on;)

Another puck, Power this time for a youth, now he's a right hard Bast*rd :p and he's only 17.

I know some of the other players are pretty close to pucks, so hopefully I gonna have a bumper week soon.

My 17 y.o. youth also gained a puck for power though he's only at 3. All is quiet in the training report these days, expecting an outburst of pucks soon.

No real pucks today, but 18 pucks gained on form and only 2 lost, but how did my form go down slightly:crazyboy:

The guy I bought for 116k a few weeks ago, Tim Devany, gained his 5th for shooting. He's not 5 in passing and shooting...and he's only 21!

One of my 17 y.o's gained his 4th for passing today as well.

Could have sworn I'd posted in this recently. Oh well :)

4 seniors gained pucks on Tuesday.
4 youths gained pucks on Thursday.

Problem is I only seem to be training everyone on their minor skills at the moment. Never mind, they'll be better players in the long run :)

No more pucks again, praying that my keeper gets his 7th tomorrow:Bow:

Well...did he? This is scary Pauly, this is the first time you haven't posted on here in days. I think they should nickname this forum the "Ponte and Pauly show"...featuring the other Paul What a coincidence, it's only the three Pauls that post here ;P

Our very own thread, how cool!

The bloody keeper must have had the afternoon off and didn't bother coming back for his 7th puck, darn swede.

Still, got a puck on PC for a decent player, now I have to wait 2 days to get another exciting training report, how will I cope?

I WANT MY PLAYERS TRAINING 7 DAYS A WEEK:p

The only real reason I post in here I think is to get my post count up...oh look it's up one again :)

Ditto, plus I can write to myself you and the other one!

How could I forget it's the other Paul:confused:

Well my 17 y.o. gained his 5th for shooting today...he's gonna be one hell of a player.

That keeper of mine still hasn't got his 7th ball and he getting further down the list too:o :( :confused: :f***:

Well he got it today, no idea what to train him on now though:confused:

Heh, my keeper's top of the training list this now so his seventh should be within the next week or so.

Paul, Paul, Paul, Blair.

Sorry to break the monotony :D

I think one of my youths got his 4th checking ball today or something, but he's not that good.

Locals only...and for people who actually hand in Zone articles :)

Unless they've been told there isn't going to be a Zone released this week? :|

When were you told this?

Today's training...22 year old got his 6th in power, also has 6 in passing. Meanwhile one of my attackers gained his second for puck control.

Well, the danger of this deteriorating into the Paul, Paul and Blair show is averted, I got 4 pucks today.

Including a Stamina puck for Paul's old player Dell Mallin - he's gained 3 pucks now since I signed on the 19th of March. (H)

Just need a similar day tomorrow to make up for a shoddy start to the week...

My keeper's gained a puck in Puck Control as well this week. He's going on Player Intelligence for tomorrow's training in the hope he can get another:p

Someguy gained his 5th for Play Int...oh and by the way I have put up 4 English players on the market. It was that or go bankrupt...

If them players were any good then I'd buy them Ponte(H)

No pucks today, it seems like I'm going to have a team of quick forwards. 15 of the top 18 in the training report is training in shooting or quickness.

Puck for a youth but what does it matter...they'll be disappearing at the weekend anyway. :(

Well, Salut to my youths. Here's the top youth I can't believe I'm losing :(

:(

Is it too late to save him yet? Or would overly large bids on people like Dean Jennifer (9430) help ;)

Nah I got the old board email today...hope they all find good homes. Just gonna copy and paste their id's so I can keep a track of them...especially Kennedy.

How much are in you in debt by?

Damn he's good! I've got a similar one, although he's 18. Are you gonna start your youth program back up Paul, or just leave it because you cant afford it?

I will be out of debt by the start of the week as you have all bidded for my players, thanks guys! Except for Paul...do you not like me? :( :p

I haven't been able to get on this site since the 11th. Only 1 puck today, shooting for a promising 16 year old

4 on Wednesday and 1 on Monday as well. Not a bad week up to now.

None on Thursday or Friday

Goalie got his 3rd Quickness today ... what else do they need apart from Keeping? :confused:

Puck control and PI I think

Well down to 16 players and my youths disappeared to new clubs immediately...I thought it would be next week, what a load of bollocks...very un-realistic so now I have no chance of getting Vinal Kennedy back as he's at some god awful club now.

No improvements today. 15 players are improving quickly and the other 20 are still getting better, hopefully a few pucks should come my way in the next week or so.:p

3 days in a row now with nothing, I'm getting worried:(

Youth got a second Skating puck, defender got a 2nd for Puck Control. All good, because they both play in my A tactic.

EDIT: *takes advantage of xmik's new script*

http://xmik.se/hockeyplayer.php?pers=Garnet:Robert:1842082:18:l:e n&atts=9:1:2:2:1:3:4:0:1:2:1 http://xmik.se/hockeyplayer.php?pers=Isaiah:Edwards:9755:22:r:en&atts=9:2:3:3:2:2:0:0:2:3:3

My keeper maxed at 7 on friday so quite disappointed but he will do for this now.

Youth gained a skating puck today. Meh.

2 pucks at last. 6th in shooting for a youth and a power puck for a crappy player.

My Swede gained his 8th for shooting, going to work on his 7th for passing now.

How much did he cost you?

260k :p ... two and a half months ago.

2 more pucks today, but both for youths who can't get into my team:(

I've had a PUCKING good week overall;) :p ;)

3 more pucks today. 1 in shooting for my top forward ,which could take him very near 100k. A power puck for a player Chris Boston sold 9 days ago and then re-sold again a week later:p and 1 for a crap youth

Another 2 pucks yesterday and 1 today, they are going puck crazy at the moment!

One of my guys has gained 4 pucks in two weeks! He's a great defender...6 in tackling and passing.

I was starting to think I was just writing to myself!!!!!!!

Anyway, 2 more pucks today, they're coming thick and fast, just wish my football team were as good. One of the players got his second puck of the week, try and make that 3 by Friday:p

1 more thing, I'm getting between 12 to 15 arrows which are pointing straight up on training. I think this is really good as I only have 36 players.

Seing as only Ponte comes on here, how many do you get mate?:p

And another thing I've just remembered!

Ponte, is it worthwhile training a goalkeeper on quickness?

Arrows - I get between 1-5 a day (Remember I don't have any coaches because of my cash problems)

Goalie Training - Yep, quickness is about...the 4th most important attribute for goalies.

Wow that player just got his 3rd puck of the week.

Power, quickness and PI, going for his 4th tomorrow!

Oh yes, and thanks for the help Ponte!

My youth got his 6th puck in shooting today :)

Better have not been my ex-youth...cause if it is...;) :crazyboy: :f***: :p :o :rolleyes: :confused: :D :)

AAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH

No pucks today:(

Training reprots are delayed, any idea when they will be working?

Nope, it's probably to do with the Power Failure they had last night. I'm prepared to wait though.

Only 1 puck on Monday but that was for my top defender. He now has 5 in power, 7 checking, 6 passing and 7 in skating, plus 2's and 3's else where:D

What should I train him in next? He's only got 1 in PI and 2 in Quickness:o

Another 2 pucks today, both for new signings.

1 of the players was the one Chris Boston sold a couple of weeks ago, so that's 2 new pucks already.

A superstar in the making, and an absolute bargin at £38000:p :rockman: :hump: :hump: :rockman:

I would train that first guy in quickness pauly.

http://xmik.se/hockeyplayer.php?pers=Pearce:Ward::22:l:en&atts=8:4:5:2:0:1:4:0:2:4:3

Gained his fourth for checking and methinks he needs a bit more quickness for a centre.

3 more pucks today:p

A skating puck for my keeper (his first) and a 4th in shooting for a 21 y.o. starter player.

Another 3 pucks today.

Quickness for my Keeper, PI for a player I'm going to sack at the weekend and a 5th keeping puck for a 17 year old youth:confused:

1 more puck today gives me 10 for the whole week, possibly the best i've ever had.

My football team managed 2:(

One lad just gained his 5th for power to go with his 3 in shooting and he's only 21 :)

3 pucks yesterday :D

youth with his 5th in checking, not maxed

senior with his 1st in stamina and another with his 1st in quickness

Mangaed to get 5 pucks this week. Hoping for double that next week:o

Had another fairly rubbish week :( and nothing to talk of this week yet either

No pucks gained at all this week, but on the way to some serious shooting balls in the next few weeks:o

Nothing at all this week, maybe time for more of the weed killer in the food.

No surprises this week

Despite having 16 youths I got 2 pucks all week

Wish they would sort coaches out as at the moment I have only the one starter with 2 pucks max in a skill and so my whole team are stagnating

Not a great week, but still managed to get 6 pucks. 1 of the players got his 4th ball in 15 days, 3 weeks ago I thought he was crap now he's looks like he's gonna turn into a little gem :p

Fingers crossed for them big shooting pucks next week.

Fingers crossed for any pucks next week here Pauly lol

Nothing today, just waiting for that rush of shooting pucks now

Nothing but who gives I just got screwed yesterday out of what should have been a straightforward win. I'm not going to shut up about it...:)

Just a little tip Pontie, you should increase your stadium because I've not seen an attendance less than 10000. Think I'm on for a 12500-13000 at the weekend:D

Yeah I know but remember my youth squad shut down and I only have about 26 players so that really WAS top priority. I'm guessing since there are near enough no players on the English market that I should upgrade my stadium:p

Probably a good idea:o

All my fingers and toes are crossed tonight for 3 of my forwards to get their 7th shooting on the same day.

PLEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

My 17 y.o. youth gained his 5th for shooting, he's now going onto quickness.

No pucks yet all week :(

Just one today, a checking puck for a promising youth. Off to Power for that young man, hopefully he'll get one quick.

I'm really looking forward to the next installment of fc_curling's MZManager it's so difficult to predict at the moment without the tool. We currently stand at 68% for the 2.1 version.

2 good pucks today. 1st one was for an 18 year old in shooting (his 6th) and a PI for my Swedish defender (his 2nd). He's nearly got a puck in quickness so he's going back over there now, then I'll go for his 8th Checking puck, or should I go for his 6th Power puck? Chaps, any comments?

I'm hoping by the end of this season to have 4 forwards with 7 in shooting and with a bit of luck maybe 5 if the other one pulls his finger out:confused:

I already have two seven+ shooters with four pretty close...still, they play terrible in my matches, can't hold on to the puck despite having power and PC and I end up having to watch half of games in my half because my players can't bloody play passes up to the forwards even though they have the skill :S Anyway, 6th power puck is what you need, if players already have more than 5 in checking then I say leave them.

Only a quiet week for Bethnal Green and Hackney. 4 pucks is a poor return for 44 players and times that by 5 it's crap:(

Never mind, it's looking very promising for about 5 or 6 of the players so fingers crossed for next weeks reports.

A stamina puck for a youth player to take him to three.

6 pucks today:p

3 checking, 1 shooting, 1 Player Intel and 1 Goalkeeping:crazyboy:

A puck in Quickness for a youth to take him to 2. He'll now be moving onto shooting. Only 16, has two in a majority of skills plus 3 in shooting and 3 in power. *Starts crying* He's so like my other youth...the one that got away with 6 shooting *Cries even more* :(

:sb9:

Crap, still no shooting pucks, please can I have some?

:sb9: back at yoo!

Crap week all round, good job I got them 6 in 1 day

Quickness puck (2nd) for a striker, now moving him to shooting. Also a shooting puck (4th) for that 16 y.o. that reminds me *cries again* of the one that got away. I'm determined to not lose this one and make him better than the other guy. He's only 16 after all :D

2nd Stamina for one of my strikers - he now has at least two in everything except for Checking, which ain't that important ;)

At last a puck! One of my forwards, Howe, gained his fourth for shooting. His other skills are quite good as well, not a player to be messed with :) He's one goal outside the top scorers in the Cross-Check Cup

A quite stonking week so far, a huge 8 pucks so far! (H)

Anyways, this guy is now good enough for my A tactic:

http://xmik.se/hockeyplayer.php?pers=Thad:Ely:102502:26:l:en&atts=9:1:1:5:3:1:3:1:3:1:1&nat=en

Gained his 3rd shooting. Onto Quickness.

http://xmik.se/hockeyplayer.php?pers=Garnet:Robert:1842082:18:l:e n&atts=9:1:2:2:2:3:4:0:1:2:1&nat=en

A promising ex-youth, got his 2nd passing. Onto Puck Control now.

Thad wouldn't get a game in my set up though Robert certainly would! :)

Hate me (H)

Total number of balls gained this week: 15!

Including a monster 6 just today...

A 5th checking for my best defender.
A 3rd power for my best centre.

And a few other not so important pucks for lesser players and youths.

Another week like this please!

Gained none today...noticed Pauly has been staying away from the forums since he lost to the Hurricanes in incredible fashion :p I moaned about getting thrashed by The Hurricanes, the least he could do would be to return the favour :D

My 2nd keeper gained his 5th for keeping.

One of my forward's gained their sixth for shooting.

Quickness puck for my goalie. Nothing without form though...which I have none of :(

A first in quickness for one of my defenders and a second in stamina for one of my attackers. Doesn't really matter at the moment until I get my first team's average form above 4.5 :(

A 5th in skating for one of my top defenders. Moving him to checking now :) One of my top forwards gained his second for power and is now moving to stamina to get a third there.

A third in stamina for one of my strikers and a 1st in quickness for a youth.

Youth goalie got 1st in stamina even though I only put him on it last night.

Youth got a 4th checking. But a crap week in both sports so far :(

A 3rd in puck control for a reserve player...crap week for me in hockey, period. My first team has an average of 4.8 form and I've only gained two pucks :( Nothing compared to the amount of pucks I gained last week :( And I don't understand how my form went from 5 to 4.8 despite the fact that I am sticking to the form guide (double :( :()

my new Swede got his 1st in stamina after 1 day in training :|

I apparently bought him for 599K last week, and he hadnt been trained until today... and he gets a puck :p

Yeah seems to happen a lot...today one of my forwards gained his 6th in PI. Moving him to shooting to get his 5th there.

A young guy I bought off Pauly gained his 4th for power. Moving him to passing to get him to 3 there. A youth gained a puck in power...only 15 but needs some major work :S

Fredrick Oldham?

Well, well, well...look who's back...where have you been Pauly? Oh and while you're here...two words, The Hurricanes :D ;)

EDIT: Yes Fredrick gained the puck :) Too many new signings recently to remember names :S

Too much Golf, first night for weeks I've not been playing:(

I play golf in the winter for some reason and do nothing all summer :S :confused:

:rolleyes:

A puck in play int (1) for a recent signing and a puck in power (3) for a guy I signed a while back. Only 22, has 5 in quickness, 3 in power and 2 in stamina and checking. With all my recent signings I decided that he would be the only one to not be moved from the third and fourth lines defences.

Quickness puck for a 17 year old youth with 5 in shooting. Going to get him to 2 in power and 2 in quickness before he goes back to shooting. I think he's my top scorer in the league...:confused:

:o

Goalie got his 3rd for Play Intelligence, yay. 8th best attacker got a 2nd skating, yay. Tis all.

Some guy got something and another guy got....zzzz....sorry so boring round these forums :p

A 2nd in quickness for a youth, moving him to stamina to get his 2nd there.

A second in quickness for my top forward Fredric Brandt. Moving him to puck control since he has none there :p

2 pucks thats not good:kader:
