Crappy beer league experience is frustrating. I played on a team a long time ago where I was the old guy at age 28. we had a bunch of 18-20 year olds, the maturity level was tough to deal with. I ended up leaving at the end of the season after almost getting into a fight with one of our own players over his unsportsmanlike BS.
We had a 3-2 lead late in the final game of the playoffs, this kid gets a stupid penalty, then fires the puck and almost hits the ref. I still can't believe he didn't get another penalty. He's still chirping, I had to physically push the guy to the box, all the while he's threatening "to kick my old ass".
We ended up winning, everyone is happy but me. This clown comes over to me in the dressing room and says "no hard feeling, right?" I told him to get bent.
Found a decent team a decade ago, great ice times, affordable to play, and just good guys to play with, makes all the difference in the world.
Good luck!!
