Jersey poncho is a weird idea but I'll wait to see it in action before I judge.

Yeah but if it ever starts raining inside the rink, we'll be set.

Got a hard no from the league head about letting our old captain back. I actually prepared documents for my case, throwing stats and common sense at him, even tried appealing to his emotions. He actually agreed with all my points, but he shot me down with "I already wrote in print to the entire league that he's too good to remain in it, and I can't go back on my word." So I guess he's too proud to admit a mistake. He did say he'd reconsider allowing him in next session, and he also said he'd find a relatively-high replacement to fill the roster spot, so at least it wasn't entirely in vain. The team decided that if he's not allowed back next session, we'll be moving to a different rink. MB just added a D-League and they also have a C2-League, which would be awesome for me because I live much closer to MB than where we currently play.

Good punishment for the dick parents/coach, but the kids are 12, they don't know nothin'. Hate to see them miss out on hockey because the grown-ups are idiots.

Sports parents are always 10,000 times worse than the kids. I got drilled in the head by a teammate who decided to try the world's longest and highest stretch pass. I'm okay but man I wasn't expecting that.

Kevlar v2.0 posted:Sports parents are always 10,000 times worse than the kids. For sure. I have a couple kids that I notice are really hard on themselves if they make a mistake, so I'm always Nice Chill Coach that just wants everyone to have fun. Hopefully it's not the parents telling them how they hosed up. Side story - Last night one of the kids was joking around and said he was going to check me when I played D during his 2-on-one drill, sure enough he passes to the other forward and lays into me. Of course he's like 2 feet shorter and 100 pounds lighter, so he bounces off and falls down, so I stood over him lightly cross checked him to keep him down. He just laid there like he was dead while the other coaches cheered me on and his teammates were pointing gloves at me like there's a ref around. So much fun skating with those kids.

I didn't want to throw anyone under the bus. I just went to bat for my captain. He made me the captain when he was removed and I figured I owed it to him to try as hard as I could to get him back. We were an expansion team last season. He created and drafted the original team and then had it unceremoniously ripped from him after a single season, in which we came in 3rd place out of 8, so it's not like we were world-beaters with him on the roster. The 2nd place team also had their best player removed, but the 1st place team, the team that's made the finals 5 consecutive seasons, remained untouched, probably because their best player happens to work for the rink.

Yeah dude, seems extra skeezy. Maybe someone higher up really doesn't like the guy and has it out for him, at least that's what it sounds like. I could see if you guys were in first and won the ship, but sheesh.

reading that quote again the whole “I guess he’s too proud to admit he made a mistake” is such a level of complete insanity in several ways. it’s really hard to fathom agree w/ the breaking sticks bit.

You also flipped your poo poo when I said we "made a deep playoff run" last season, so maybe you should chill out and stop hyperbolizing everything.

My interpretation is we all have really weak ankles and use our skates as crutches! I had a coach for a couple year that would come out on the ice with his laces loose all the way to the toes and he was still demonstrating crossovers. Now THAT's a drill.

i mean, i usually dont tie my skates when i go out for public sessions with the kids or something, but even untied modern skates support your ankles just fine those old skates look like they actively work against your ankles working properly

Even in the 70's "ankle support" was still a new idea and NHL players got along ok. Not to start a "kids are weak these days!!" type of argument but I'd be curious to know how loving beefy the ankles of professional players were back then.

They're pretty loving good. Also some guy gets cross-checked to the back of the head loving hard, with no helmet obviously, after the play and the commentator just goes "oh there's a knock to the ol' noggin'" like it's nothing. gently caress me.

The first goalie to wear a mask full-time in the NHL was in 1959 and there were goalies not wearing masks in the NHL all the way through 1974.
