It's true that when we were kids almost everyone playing hockey had a dad who also played. The growth of the sport in Pittsburgh has made that a thing of the past. That's got some bad aspects to it, but it largely a very good thing. Keep in mind that the next generation of players will have the current generation as their parents. The explosive expansion of ice hockey in our region has made that impossible in the short run and inevitable in the long run. It's amazing to me that people think they don't ever have to be polite in grocery stores, on the internet, or at their kids' sporting events. Three tips for parents: The ref isn't going to give you calls just because you act like a jerk. If you're going to yell at least be right. Your kids HATE it when they can hear you yelling like a fool from the stands. It's embarrassing to them.

Locked because we’re not going to have every thread on this site turn into COVID talk. Take it to Facebook.

Well I guess I can unfollow this thread now... All useful info has been presented and the pie fight is about to start. LOL

Oh boy here we go, this thread took an odd turn and now we have a large plate of fresh red meat. Commence feeding.

I'll let you know if the same fate befalls me.

And don't forget all of the superspreader events that were held there. Oh, wait. That didn't actually happen. Welcome to America, Jack. Enjoy your newfound freedoms. For now.

don't worry... daddy has all Tommy's clips ready to send out!

Bikeable? I'm having a good time imagining everyone throwing your gear on your bike and pedaling on over. Whoever wrote this must be from the south where there is no snow.

Once the Crosby/Malkin train pulls out of the station, and Pittsburgh ends it reign of virtually having the greatest player/players in the world on their team since 1984, we'll see how popular the game of hockey is in this town.

You think?? The CC Hockey President is also the Pens President.
