It's a pretty big ask. 5 years of garbage until they play a real game. I'm on year 3 with my youngest. It's painful. We'll lose kids to unsanctioned leagues because of it. Mine included, if warranted. It's not a hill I'd die on. On one hand it shouldn't matter who wins at 8. Oh the other, it's insulting because they can all count by that time. Who are they protecting?

Albatrosss Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Its a liberal “progressive” bullshit where everyone’s a winner and everyone gets a prize. It breeded Millennials and now breeding Gen Z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you're a hockey minnow like Canada, it's best to copy places like Finland, and maybe we'll win something, someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I coached Mites every kid on the team would have a different score at the end of the game or in the locker room. "We killed them 7-3!" "uh-uh it was more like 9-2" "No you are wrong! It was 11-1" Real score 3-3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have this rule in soccer, too, and I don't ask other kids but mine knows the score of the game, and who on his team scored how many goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunny Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I just drop my 13 yo off now, and peace out for a coffee. 6 year old dresses himself and just needs his skates done. One thing I've figured out is the early morning oractices are better than the late night ones, or even mid afternoon. Not even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
