  1. Things like the second US goal can't happen though. That was a massive brain fart at a terrible time.
  2. You probably have a waterpark or something.
  3. Hotels in Niagara are comically cheap at this time of year. Saw Holiday for $30/night
  4. Pelham yikes. Good strip clubs in Lundy's Lane.
  5. I got him confused with Sorokin... Is this guy on Russia's roster?
  6. Anyone remember Joby Messier? I talked to him on the phone this morning, he's a foreman for one of my contractors... Yikes.
  7. That's the only Canadian SS Finals spot I can think of. And it's a fucking dump.
  8. Just start doing something early and stick with it. Money takes care of itself.
  9. Low grades = massive savings on useless arts degree.
  10. Play through it? Any risk of further damage?
  11. And that's fine. I don't have my kid in hockey so he can have a career playing hockey or try to receive a free education. I just want him to experience competition, heartache and sheer joy playing hockey like I did. Be part of a team with a goal.
  12. The politics at age 4 and 5 have absolutely floored me, but the kids at that age have absolutely no clue so they're just out there doing their thing and building a good base to grow from without even knowing it. If you want your kid to play competitively at any level I think it's best to start early. Skating is everything, so that's really all you have to do. The rest at that age is kind of ridiculous. My kid spent his entire first year as a 4 YO playing Minecraft and Pokemon on the ice during practice. Pragmatically, it gets the kid out of the house. They're much easier and pleasant to deal with when they've burned off energy.
  13. Because we want to win. Our rural town versus all rural towns in Ontario. Pride and status are everything. Destroy Kincardine. Annihilate Walkerton. Getting to an All-Ontario final was only recent surpassed in my life events by the birth of my children and you don't get to that point by playing everyone equally. AAA kids think they're going somewhere, great, develop away, but down in BB you basically have 3 goals, win the WOAA, win your regional Silver Stick and win the fucking All-Ontarios, we aren't there to develop players for Junior 'C'.
  14. Here's my take: If you want to have fun, go play house league. Everyone plays equally. If you want to play Rep hockey, be prepared to sit in situations where I think you'll fail. You're representing my town and we're here to win. We didn't drive 2 hours in a snow storm to play everyone equally, we came to win. That being said, a normal league game doesn't really mean much so I wouldn't be to rigid in ice time but come playoffs or Silver Stick calibre tournaments I'm going to ride my horses whether they are 10 or 18 years old.
  15. At that age it's tough, but I would roll 2 lines and 3 D. :D
  16. I had Osgood's. It's weird. Doesn't bother you until something bumps below your kneecap and then agonizing pain. You grow out of it though.
  17. Totally agree. Way rather have a kid interacting and thinking rather than sitting and watching. Even if a few temper tantrums are involved.
  18. Me either tbh, but then I had a kid, and it's a billion times better than Bubble Guppies.
  19. Nintendo has the best titles for kids though. That's really not even debatable. Pokemon ffs. Pokemon!
