I mean if you're facing 40 shots a game there is a problem anyway right? I block about five a game and i'm just a lovely D-man. They need to help you help them

Anywhere from 20-40 shots is pretty standard for beer league. poo poo, one of my teams faced 60 in a game this season, we had 20 in the same game and we only lost by 1 goal.

Fortunately all those shots get them trained up pretty quick. Goalie we started with last fall was a little new, not sure exactly when he put on the pads but it was all hand me down stuff and he used player skates for a while. He could stop most shots but just didn't have that flow that experienced goalies develop. Fast forward 24 games where we give up 40 shots each time and now he's a goddamn brick wall. Which is good because we're all so bad we're only good for 1-3 goals per game.

A few years ago we stopped calling a goalie because #1 he'd give up like the first 4 out of 6 shots every game, which sucks but fine. He'd actually be pretty solid after that but it was like he needed to get the pressure off of possibly winning by just blowing it up in the first 10 minutes or less. #2 when it was his turn to bring beer he brought an 18 pack (30 being standard practice for our team) and on top of that after the game he showered and changed fairly quickly and just peaced out with the beer. Just hey see you guys next week and snagged up the beer on his way out of the locker room. There were probably only like 6 left but still, anytime you bring beer if you're leaving the rink before everybody else you take like 1 or 2 out and leave the rest. It has now become team beer. As you can tell we take the beer part pretty seriously in our beer league.

For us, whatever you brought that wasn't drank would be picked up by the guy who's bringing the next round, and added to whatever he brought next. Somehow we then started a tradition of getting a different brand than the leftovers so that we'd have a variety (esp if it was a light leftover, then we'd get normal, and vice versa).

Last season we had a thing where a game MVP was picked and they had to bring beer the next week. Most times it was IPAs or similar (this is NYC), and then one week we chose as MVP this old guy on the team cause he scored a nice deflection goal basically by standing where he needed to be and the puck went in off him, and he announced "warm Guinness for everyone!" and it was pretty funny.  I didn't make the next game so I don't know if he made good on his promise.

Miller Highlife is the ideal post game beer of choice. Just enough flavor, but still a lager. Also $18 for a 30 pack. Can also be used in lieu of champagne for championship celebrations.

I enjoy craft beer but after hockey I need water, but I want beer ... so give me something relatively light.

I need a light beer that I can drink, while talking about the game, and how much fun it was. The Beer in Beer League is a supportive cast to the fellowship.

One of the teams was sponsored by a craft brew place, so everybody got a free beer after the game, on both teams. Too bad this was always at 11:00PM and I have to drive an hour to get home after games.

When it's your turn, bring a craft lager or a pale ale. When it's someone else's turn, drink whatever they brought, be it Pliny the Elder or PBR. If they bring Natty Light, kick them off the team.

Keystone Light was probably the worst somebody brought, then he outdid himself with Milwaukee's Best.

Our whole league is sponsored by a local brewery but at least on my team nobody likes the free craft stuff (IMO it's OK but not what I want after hockey) and we buy Miller Light pitchers from the snackbar instead. edit: It helps that our captain is a moneybags and buys the beer a lot.

I think the usual for us is Hells Gate Lager. Another team I play for the manager brings beer every game and has punch cards, he brings Bomber Brewing mix, ESB, Lager, IPA.

My team plays at a high schools rink so we aren't allowed to drink after games, I feel like I'm missing out on the real beer league experience. There is a bar near by that we go to sometimes when our games aren't at 10 at night, and there's one guy who always walks away from our table and just does tons of shots before coming back to drink the beer he ordered. I always try to make sure I'm on the road and far away from there before he leaves that bar, which isn't hard since he closes the place down every time.

I have a jumbo jet cooler, so when it's my beer turn, I usually bring a 12 of Coors Light, a 12 of High Life, 6 IPAs, 6 Wits, 12 Ales, and a smattering of "huh, this looks neat"s. This sometimes gets altered on the heavy drinking team with 24 Molsons, 12 Labatts, 12 High Lifes, and a smattering of Mickeys hand grenades and whatever else is leftover from prior beer duties. Also Flaming Hot Fritos, pretzel rods, and a thin crust pepperoni pizza cut into party squares if I'm hungry/charitable.

I'm not a big post game drinker but I'll always sit around and drink a beer while getting changed. Unfortunately a lot of the rinks ban you from having beer in the locker rooms. Besides, I would rather drink at the bar after, its just getting people to go after a weeknight game.

No, as in the teams would get banned from the rink. I've had rink managers walk in and say "just pack the cans out" and I've had captains tell us not to bring beer because your team can be banned from the rink. Some rinks are fine with it, others are very strict and have contacted the league commissioner over finding cans in the trash after a game. I know one of the rinks has a liquor license so that might be one aspect of it. The other being that there are a lot of kids and school teams there, but usually not at midnight on a weekday.

My teams been warned twice about beer cans being found in one of the locker room trash cans and they asked us which locker room we used to try and narrow down the suspects. Allegedly I have some sort of black mark on my record with that league now since no one came forward for the first one, but that's probably just to try and scare us. The worst part was it wasn't even us. If I'm getting in trouble for beer at a beer league game, I better be getting beer out of the deal.

Given what I know about the organizational abilities of most rinks, I wouldn't worry about them keeping track of offenders longer than like, a month.

We can't drink inside the rink, but nobody gives a gently caress about us drinking in the parking lot after games. It's a county rec center, but cops have driven by and just told us to "keep it in check".

Actually that reminds me of a rink that I used to play at had a no outside beers allowed policy, but it was cool because after the game they had a guy with a cooler that came in there locker room and sold tall cans and Gatorade at a pretty decent price.

A good shot of fireball before the game. Then a beer or two afterwards. Cheaper the better. We usually do Labatts or Yeungling.

I took painkillers and strapped my wrist up before the game tonight. Went really well, didn't feel a thing. Even when I accidentally plowed through the ref. Whoops, sorry bud.
