Verman posted:I think our league commissioner is getting pressured to get playing ASAP by people who don't care about covid and either want a refund or to play the rest of the season. He recently emailed all the captains and said some bullshit made-up number of "80-90% of players are ready to start playing as soon as 10 days from now if we can get approved". My two teams did a 5 point scale from definitely will play when hockey resumes to definitely wont play. The team I thought would be all in scored near middle but leaning to no playing. The other team of older people that I thought wouldn't play ever again is at the 4 mark to play. I am on the likely side but lots to play with. I also do not look forward to getting dressed in Everett on the side of the road next to homeless people and prostitutes - sorry maam Im putting my jock strap on myself. Re: GSHL, league paid for ice and once the rinks open, that may be the pressure point "you paid, here's your ice, use it". Also the fact that there's to be a 2nd wave and huge spike in the fall doesn't sound like this will last long.

We are a mango cart team. It’s easy to drink and better on tap vs cans. It’s nice though, 4 of us get together and just socially distance drink in a park or backyard. Maybe we will set up a shooting mat or something

I got to sit in with another NHL offseason practice. I have some new gear and I'm still trying to get it dialed in so I'm looking/feeling rough aside from the extra covid weight. Thankfully 2 other pro goalies were there and I was just acting as a break for them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYSpXDcxe3A

You move around so non-chalantly and make every shot look like it's an easy save. Thanks for posting.

A lot of people in StinkySocks seem like they’d be the kind of person who assumes covid is a political ploy so they probably won’t be taking anything seriously. Which rink did you sign up for? West Roxbury is the rink, we'll see how the protocols are handled.

We have three doctors on our team (and they’re the best players on the team) so I think they have a lot of say in when we start playing again.

Before this dead gay forum burns to the ground, here's the email I got from Bauer about their Concept 3 splash guard: "I am familiar with the ASTM F2100 standard and the performance levels that are offered by face masks. The splash guard doesn’t function in the same way and that standard wouldn’t be relevant. It is more appropriate to consider it, when attached to the Concept 3 face protector, like a face shield and look at the ANSI Z87.1 standard. Together the splash guard and Concept 3 face protector will provide a level of protection from splash and droplet hazard. That is the goal of the splash guard." So basically if you check some wannabe-scouted guy and he spits at you, you're probably mostly good. Aerosols, which is the most likely vector of infection, go "IDGAF about that" and kill you. I give up.

lol at people trying to play hockey right now https://old.reddit.com/r/hockeyplayers/comments/hi0gcn/stay_safe/ quote:Our local leagues have started back up. First week of games started last Monday and there has even a player that has tested positive for COVID and is now in the hospital. Doesn’t help that this is an Over 35 league.

Whelp, Massachusetts just re-defined what counts as phase 3 and whats phase 3B for reopening and hockey got pushed back. Stinky socks put out an ad saying they were delaying all games for two weeks. Not that I’m in a rush to get back (probably not for months if I’m being honest) but I wonder if they’ll just keep pushing it back further and further. The league said that they were reaching out to officials about non-contact hockey but I still think that you’d have to get way too close to be effective.

The private pickup I’m in wants 4v4 no one within 10 feet no one within 10 feet of goalies. No idea how many of it is going to work. I emailed the guy and said we should just get shooting pads put em 6 feet apart in the parking lot and a case of beer between each set of mats

Yep, just got the cancellation notice for this coming Friday. Power Play Hockey ( which took over for NESHL and MAHL) also just delayed our start by at least another week.

All adult leagues are now just drinking beer and playing that sauce game that hockey influencers are always playing at beaches on YouTube and Instagram. No refunds, this counts as finishing your season.

My league started back up last night, and my team had a game. They won 11-0, because the other team didn't have a goalie. There was also a forfeit in another game, which I assume was because one team didn't show up (it rarely happens in this league). Only one actual game seemed to happen. Should be interesting to see how the rest of this season finishes out.

ASHL 4 on 4 is... interesting. It's not bad, feels and plays a bit faster. Scoring was mostly on breakaways in the game I was in, and skaters were dead towards the end.

I would almost be okay with three on three - spacing would easier and I feel like you'd be able to pace it a little better instead of killing yourself. I miss hockey

We signed up for a tournament in PA a few months ago. We played in the same tournament last year and had a great time. Unfortunately, they canceled the tournament today and now I'm sad. We haven't heard from our rink yet about our next year season.

I walked into a pure hockey yesterday on my quest to find new rollerblades after my 21 year old blades broke the other day and it just made me want to play so badly again. But then again, I’d like to not have a breathing tube so I’ll still wait. Maybe some sort of outdoor roller hockey league will pop up near me but even that may be too risky.

Yeah, not having the break of whistles and lining up for a faceoff is pretty big. Every change is done on the fly. It's pretty much constant skating for 40 minutes.

But Im pretty certain they're wearing Bauer or shock doctor.

After handing out lifetime/1-year bans for doing CC chargebacks for our season that hadn't started when Covid hit, our rink just sent out an email saying they will start issuing refunds. But will be keeping 25% as an "administrative fee." Apparently 25% of $650 per player is required to put a roster into a computer and click go on the schedule maker software. There's ~60 teams in beer league, which is about $660k income per season. For some reason, I don't think it costs $165k to "set up" a season.
