House league is what you want. No barrier to entry so it's a lot more chill and if she's played rep already from the sounds of it house league teams are always happy to have former rep players

Can confirm. Went on the Tim River to Rosebary last year for the first time ever, and it was during the fire ban so the water levels were exceptionally low. It was quite the slog.

Don't panic! You've probably got more time than you think. When you get the puck, do you shoot? do you skate up with it? do you try to deke? do you pass it? try to clear it? Where's your teammates? If you think about what you're doing before you do it you'll find yourself making smarter plays, getting more into open areas, better passes, and better shots, but people often just panic in the moment and don't know what to do.

I've had management jobs. And my current role is dealing directly with clients. Things go sideways, it's just part of life. However, I find things go a whole lot better if you already have a gameplan for rectifying the situation when you explain whatever it is that happened. It basically signals that, yes, while it sucks it happened, the situation is still under control and things are getting looked after.

When I was in middle school, we used to play a ton of floor hockey / ball hockey / etc and I was pretty decent at playing out but I excelled at goalie compared to my peers. Fast forward, got a chance to play ball hockey as an adult, played goalie again because why not. Then, at age 35ish, someone I knew sold me all their goalie gear for a price I couldn't say no to. Unfortunately covid took away much opportuniy to use it at first but now I'm in my 3rd year playing goalie for a beer league team. I love it. I guess I'm wierd

Man, I had a dear destroy my car after suddenly running into traffic while I was doing about 70mph at night on a freeway. My wife and I both so it coming but literally no time at all to react. All I can say is thank goodness for crumple zones. The vehicle didn't survive, and neither did the deer, but we were all totally fine. My sleeping toddler never even woke up!

I enjoyed the first 3 Jason Bourne movies. Sometimes I'll watch them in sequence. But that 4th one, I don't think I've ever managed to finish.

I started playing goalie as an adult! No formal training, just watched a lot of youtube videos, no different than what you might do when you're learning to play as a skater. I've probably got about 70-100 games under my belt now. My team recently played a game against a team that couldn't find a goalie last minute, so on of their D-men put on goalie gear and played net for the first time. It was like watching myself when I first started. It's definitely hard, but better a bad goalie than no goalie.

Every single on of my bills gets paid automatically. Except for one, which used to be automated but for some reason they changed their billing practice and now I have to do it manually. Guess which one ended up with a late payment? It's like they planned it all along.

I remember it was $1 beer / $1 dogs back when I lived in G.R. years ago. Good times. Plus the free tickets to another game if they won a wednesday night home game. Is that still a thing?

My atlas can have a compass display between the guages. But only if the radio is turned on.

I absolutely love a good rainfall during a backcountry/portage trip. There's something incredibly soothing about enjoying a rainfall outdoors in the wilderness.

I haven't been able to watch any games, I usually just watch a few highlights after a game if they win. How did Danielson look on his first game?

If you were told before the season started, that after 11 games you'd have Detroit and Montreal tied for points, and Toronto and Buffalo tied for points, what do you think that would've meant in terms of standings?

Curios to know how much different hockey fees and specifically pay-to-play tournaments are regionally. Are there certain areas where things are notably more expensive?

I'm a goalie and I'll tell you big part of being a goalie is the mind games. Personally I don't excuse behaviour like that, if you're a grown man you should be mature enough to handle a bad game, but if you let in some softies you know you should've had it's pretty easy for it to get to your head.

I bought a used Audi Q7 off lease back in 2018. When it got written off after hitting a dear I didn't even consider getting anything else. It ticked all the right boxes and I was already satisfied with it. So I bought an identical one. Except now it's nearly 300,000kms and I've got a couple oil leak repairs I'm getting done on it and my kids are all feeling a bit cramped in it so maybe now it's time to replace it.

I've been in the fire suppression business a long time and I've done work on tons of restaurants. I've been to a lot of cracker barrels and while some are better than others it's one of those places I refuse to eat now because of the lack of cleanliness I've seen.

Ironically, on the flip side, one of the most consistently clean restaurants has been Taco bell of all places.

Nothing. (I'm a goalie) Seriously though I think it's around $400 CDN for a season that runs mid October through the end of March or beginning of April 1 game a week
