I think thats a good comment. Just look at some of the "hockey dads" on this site when the Flames lose. Of all the critics, how many here actually still play in an organized league? Competitive league? Again, I'm not saying teams shouldn't have scoreless games or standings, I just think an alternative "pickup" would be pretty advantages. I played organized soccer when I was young until I turned 14, but dropped out because people were getting too serious and it wasn't fun anymore. Honestly, the most fun I had was playing at recess, when I could be Kristen Huselius instead of Rene Bourque. I got back into it when I was 18 and still play now (at 26) and I play 2x's a week in pickup and 1x's a week in a competitive league... I honestly have more fun in pickup.
