MHC Dish From the Pitch 2013 MHC Dish From the Pitch 9

WEEK 9- July 21, 2013 “CAN WE DO IT?” YES WE CAN by Aislinn Leonard photo credit: Aislinn Leonard Sitting alone on the far west side of the pitch is one of the MHC’s major fixtures. No, it’s not the Marsolek’s Wisconsin Badger tent; it’s the equipment storage unit! It might not be as fancy as some, but it’s ours to call home. For two and a half seasons now, we’ve been able to house equipment, sliothar racks, goals, extra helmets, important paperwork, and our scoreboard in the container. We’re no longer using Dave Olson’s truck as the sole equipment holder. This may not seem like a big deal, but this is a stepping-stone for the MHC. As we move ahead to the 20th anniversary of the club we are able to put our small mark on Brown Deer Park. It gives us the opportunity to organize equipment and keep it at the pitch for club wide use. We move things around like a game of Tetris every week and we add new equipment – it’s always changing because just as the club is growing, so is the amount of equipment. Having the can at the pitch is so much easier than trying to drag the goals out of a truck each week. It’s pretty amazing considering that despite the fact we don’t have the amazing amenities other clubs have, we still make it work with our “can-do” attitude. Our eight-foot by thirty-foot container holds up our 300-member club week in and week out.
