Played in NCHL for several years. Brutal ice times (lots of 10:45, 11:15 etc) and loads of out of town games in Chestermere, Airdrie, Okotoks etc. Not getting to sleep until 2 and 3 am on a work night isn't much fun. Often there's no scorekeepers and only one ref turns up etc. Then some of the reffing is terrible. It's not good, everyone moans about it, but for some reason we keep going back!
