After 3 long years the Chiefs beat the lizzards. Thank god they are getting older and slower. We are old and slow but are used to it. I think they are still adjusting to not being able to bend down and tie their skates. We have learned to tie each other's skates which has prevented a lot of tripping on the ice. Hopefully more teams will get old in a hurry and we can climb to the Championship!

Hi everybody,

Time for a new season to begin and time for more of my wisdom to be spread to the world. I used wonder if these blogs will prevent me from becoming president one day. After seeing Palin I realize it may actually help me! Being Captain and Coach is a lot like being President. I have to make all the tough choices and make sure my second in command knows what is going on. I have to mediate stupid disputes and talk to the refs, etc. Frankly, I am ready to be President. Make sure you put me in as a write in candidate.

Being the greatest coach and player in the world is very tiring but it is all worth it as we head to the playoffs as the number one seed. Last season I tried the opposite approach. Being the last place seed so we could play the first place seed. That worked as we won our first game but lost later on in the tournament.  I sense exciting playoff hockey...........

Been awhile since I blogged but hey I got a life and can't do this all day. Recently we were challenged by the Cougars of the Northbrook league. This means that soon other countries will be calling to play the Chicago Chiefs. Soon I will be on Versus and getting just as many people watching as the NHL. I am also excited with the possibility of the NHL playing in Wrigley Field. If that happens let's hope they contact me to get our team involved.

I knew we were a good team. Sure you look at our last place regular season finish and you think otherwise. BUT YOU ARE ALL WRONG! I was just getting us into position for the playoffs. I travel a lot for work so I needed us to be in a position where I could be in town for the most playoff games. It worked perfectly. I wonder which NHL or College team will contact me first?? It would be sad to leave the Chiefs but if I can make Hockey popular to the masses again I guess I will have to do it. I would like to stay in Chicago. I wonder if Rocky Wirtz reads this???

I recently got my first donation on my website. This moment only proves that through intelligent website design miracles can happen. This $5 donation will be the start of my world hockey domination. I will be soon building a church to Hockey with the many donations that will be coming in. Soon I will be afford that building near the Hockey Hall of Fame. Only a wise God could allow us to reach a point in world history to get a donation for beer to a hockey team. I wonder what Darwin would be thinking if alive today.

So I have done Thanksgiving, Hanukah, well let's do a Christmas Blog. It is early but I don't care they bring out the Christmas stuff during Thanksgiving. Recently God destroyed many lives and property and cancelled my flight. This allowed me to play hockey so was this a Christmas miracle or a late Hanukah miracle? I am jewish but so was Jesus. Other important holiday announcements. I want my kids to play hockey and they don't so I am going to buy them all hockey gear so they will have no other toys and will have to skate. I also am taking away allowance till they play, this is for their own good. Who ever plays first gets on the will list.  Also, if you are reading this please donate on our site.  You can donate beer to the Chiefs which could be the greatest Christmas miracle ever. Happy Holidays.

Sincerley,

Ian (The Greatest Hockey Player In The World) Silber

Welcome to this weeks insightful comments from me, the greatest hockey player and coach in the world. Many people don't know the history of Hannukah and how it relates to hockey today. Well to make a long story short when the Maccabees kicked butt against Antiochus and his soldiers they used some of the first hockey shaped sticks. These Jews (and yes I am one) learned our incredible stick handling skills from these first street hockey players. So next time you are looking at your candles burning on your Menorah you can imagine them as hockey sticks. Have a happy Hannukah!

Sometimes a coach has to do the hard thinking for the team. Several times I have been in the situation of having to step up to keep a team in the game close in a game. Recently, I purposely went out of town when we played a very weak team knowing that if I was there the victory would have been ridiculously easy. But being out of town made my team step up and win a close game thus building up their confidence that they can win without me. Obviously, I run the risk that they only win when I am out of town but that is just an artifact of my incredible strategies and know how of the game. A great coach has to suffer for his craft.
