  1. This is a hockey board. People are upset that they can’t play regular hockey games, while many of us have seen or actively participated in other events, of near similar “risk” each way go on without problems. So when people voice these complaints, the justification shifts to, what can’t you do in your life crybaby etc. Let’s start with hockey, where some of us spend a great deal of our time whether it be in an official or unofficial capacity, as a hobby, as a player, as a spectator, as an opportunity to teach and grow the game, etc: 1. Numerous summer camps cancelled 2. Current practices limited numerical participation. 3. Vast uncertainty whether there will even be a season at any level. 4. The stress of trying to prepare for that as an organization, coach, player, parent etc. 5. Being offered a weak solution to comply with mandates. 6. Cancellation of numerous tournaments that were solid family time. 7. Incongruity between what’s allowed and not allowed eg Walmart with 100s of people inside vs an ice arena based on arbitrary numbers. 8. The potential serious impacts financially of arenas, organizations and instructors. 9. The lack of all involved to be able to participate in what they enjoy at whatever level they play at. 10. Another lost season for players getting close to the end of their playing days. 11. The lack of foresight, double-standards, and cavalier attitude by those who established these policies. Just a few things to mention. Not everything is quantifiable by what can you do and can’t you do in two columns. Personally I could care less if I ever set foot in a barroom again less interact with the general public. Just because hockey isn’t an important part of your life, doesn’t mean it isn’t for others.
  2. That’s the thing I don’t agree with. Mass punishment. If you have a rebellious rink or restaurant, shut them down. Don’t hammer the ones doing the right thing.
  3. From their website they are requesting only one parent per player for their general rules. I had thought I had seen on a flyer they were going to be full roster games but can’t find that right now. Was not USA hockey sanctioned from my understanding but must’ve gotten insurance elsewhere.
  4. True hardship? Don’t try to lecture me on true hardship. Just because you’ve never gotten out of your bubble doesn’t mean some of us haven’t done things that would only make you piss and shit yourself in fear. I’m sorry covid is your breaking point, you weak pathetic soul.
  5. Your ratio of big babies to people suffering is way way off, which i would expect nothing less coming from you.
  6. The only thing these people care about is staying in office. Remind them you’re a voter who has a lot of friends and family that you’ll make sure will not vote for them.
  7. Mid-Am updates their website once every couple years, whether it needs it or not. Really pathetic imho.
  8. It’s going to be too late by then I’m afraid. It takes a lot to get the wheels churning for a season. I hope not.
  9. I’m not taking a stand. I’d rather him play drop in and take lessons for $2k than travel 3 hours to play a few shifts.
  10. I can tolerate the 4v4. It’s playing one 16 minute half that is ridiculous. Even if ice time was perfectly divided and no penalty kill, you’re looking at maybe 6-8 minutes per game playing time. That might be ok if your driving to your local rink to play a game or a 4th liner clinging to a spot on a tier I or tier II team. But for the rest of people who’s kids aren’t playing on those levels, it’s a tough to justify going from Erie to Altoona or Morgantown to State College etc. Kids aren’t going to want to do that. Parents certainly aren’t going to want to do that.
  11. How Comrade? I’ve seen a lot of your posts and you’ve come up with very little substantive ideas as to how it will work. Almost all of it has been ridiculing other people’s ideas, desires and frustrations with a policy developed with arbitrary numbers that won’t be shared with the public.
  12. Interesting comments from someone who has a reason for why everything won’t work.
  13. The problem, much like the 6’ rule, is these are arbitrary numbers. If someone could publish a legitimate study on why 25 if the tipping point, then I’d be more willing to accept it. Unfortunately, when pressed, the decision makers refuse to share “granular” data on any of these decisions. What else are people left to do other than speculate there is something being hidden.
  14. I think they were shaken by the pahl talk of limited rosters for games. They’ll wait it out but unless something changes in the next two months I’m betting they will fold tents on this season.
  15. Pegula is as aggressively restrictive as I’ve seen in all of the local landscape.
  16. In case of many psycho parents living vicariously through their kids, yes.
  17. Plus the logistics/planning and execution nightmare for families and organizations. And add in 1/3 of the roster wants released for a variety of reasons. Not my idea but I know of people already working on heading elsewhere from PAHL.
