I am always blown away at how rec hockey players blame refs for results they were clearly responsible for themselves. Last time I checked there aren't any scouts in the stands is there? 
Either way my team is in and we look forward to it. The guys are pumped about the $500 we get at the bar, the pre-season party at the casino down south (we have a shot at $3000 off next season's fees!), the boxing at NSD, the ice skating treadmill thing, and the ice times posted on the site for Fish Creek and Cardel are wicked good already......we get all that for the SAME fees the other guys are taking. New or not, thats F@#$ing great!
See you guys on the ice, cause our team will be in the WHHL this coming season! |
So you obviously work for this new league or are Garnett yourself because thats the only way you would defend a guy like him.
I've played in almost every league in the city, and we've only had a problem with one guy. It has nothing to do with how you treat the refs or the other team, hes out there to feel important. He power trips all the time, for no apparent reason. If it was just me saying this its one thing, but since I posted that other guys who I've never met or played with are agreeing, so obviously its not an isolated incident.
The fact that you say this makes you sound like the losers that run HNA and NCHL, defending terrible rules and refs by saying its how you treat them. In every other league we've played in, we are always near the bottom in PIMS every year.
