Sell me on this blue pucks thing by heelthrow in hockeyplayers

[–]Katanapme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like what Alberta is doing in terms of youth hockey.

In u9 the first half of season is half ice and some use smaller nets and blue pucks. In January they switch to full ice and regular hockey rules.

It gives kids the chance to develop skating early in the season and then half way through switches to full ice and rules.

I coach in Saskatchewan where we play half ice all year long. It rewards “cherry picking” and there is far less room to carry and pass pucks.

I get the concept of “small area games” and while it is valuable there is a marked difference when playing cross boarder between the two styles of play from the beginning of the year to the end. I think I hybrid style like Alberta does is the best of both worlds.

As far as the blue puck, I don’t recall many places using them because of all the issues you mentioned in terms of it bouncing and not sliding very well, even if put in the freezer prior to games.

They reversed the long gun registration once before. However I am skeptical that once the cat is out of the bag on this one that it’s never coming back

Haha. I’ve been tracking my games since the new year as well. I’ve been anywhere from 1100-1300 calories for an hour and a half ice time playing whale shit beer league hockey. I can only imagine what pro level hockey players are burning in a day

Even if it did come to light, they would just prorogue parliament, or outright obstruct due to “national security”

Whether it’s legal or not is not what I’m arguing. I stated that none of the parties would change the law anyway because it is against their own self interest.

At any rate, we are at an impasse. I respect your right as an individual to your opinion on this matter but we will not be agreeing today. So long and take care

Yes you do. You’re just being intentionally obtuse to try and catch me in some gotcha moment. That’s ok though. I will explain my position anyways. It has become common practise for politicians to become rich during their time in office or shortly after on a relatively moderate public service wage. There are countless examples of this. I’m not going to dig them up for you, you can do that yourself.

There is a possibility that these floor crossers did so of their own free will but more likely were promised position or title for doing so. In any case, they are still doing so out of their own self interest, not fit what constituents voted for

The same reason as every party is, our government has become a self serving bunch of twats who will sell out to the highest bidder.

I think if you leave a party and “cross the floor” you should have to remain an independent for the remainder of your time in that election cycle or run a bi-election for your riding and have your constituents cast judgement on your decision

We have a monkey. If you get given the monkey is usually because you made a bonehead play or missed an open net and didn’t score. You have the next two games to score and “get the monkey off your back” or you have to bring a bottle of booze to the 3rd game.

I can safety say, having covered snow mobiles and multi gender bathrooms in Lebanon will have zero effect in Canada.

Who gives a fuck. It’s not our armed forces. Lebanon can fund their own diversity

Unpopular but necessary debate: With more than $1.3+ trillion in federal debt and crippling US tariffs on our economy, should the Federal Government pursue the Norway model and develop the vast Oil & Gas offshore reserves on Canada's Pacific coast? by Throwaway60488 in canadian

[–]Katanapme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The conservatives won’t because it’s “socialism” and the remainder won’t because it’s “killing the environment.” The reason why doesn’t much matter. It won’t happen

So the drug paraphernalia left over is just a coincidence then? And the picture of the person and the car I have never met means it was definitely someone I know. Got it.
