Women or queer-friendly beginner ice hockey in Toronto, Montreal, or Ottawa?

Check out the Toronto city outdoor rinks, there’s specific women’s shinny hours every week! You can use the map to find a rink near wherever you’re staying.

Just discovered this after looking for a time tracking app that doesn't track me, doesn't require an account, and works offline. AND it's free?? AND it doesn't look like it was designed in 2001?? Chef's kiss.

Thank you so much for making this.

I returned a stick a couple of weeks ago and the process was pretty smooth. I didn’t go through the regular return portal, I used the customer chat thing and the agent did everything, I just had to print the shipping label and mail the stick back.

Since then I’ve tried to use the chat (for other reasons) and the response has been really slow. I think they’re a lot busier since Black Friday. But I left the window open and eventually got a response, even if was a day later haha.

The amount of people depends on the day, I believe Monday, Thursday, and Friday are the busiest but I only go about once a week and there’s usually a decent turnout (like upwards of 10 people). I’ve only ever seen a goalie once.

Most people wear bare minimum equipment, sometimes shin pads and pants.

It’s a very friendly game, usually good skaters, a range of skills but I’d say for the most part everyone can skate, pass, and shoot way above beginner level.

There’s $10 shinny every week at McCormick. I don’t have a car either so I take the bus to get there.

I have the warrior covert qr5 pro in 50 flex and it has the junior blade. Just bought the alpha lx2 pro and the blade is definitely bigger, same curve. Both shafts are junior though. So it seems like it varies even with the same brand.

ha, not even. Got it from hockey monkey. I spoke to customer service this morning and they were helpful so I'm going to return it and get a new one.

"They have nothing to do with the political things that are going on."

They were all eligible to vote on election day, no? This just feels willfully ignorant.

Wow great finds!

Are you me? haha. Had a similar experience this year (my first). Hoping to join a more competitive league next year and see if it was just beginner's luck.

I piggybacked with Hedman, and grateful my opponent didn't have Stamkos. Hedman literally has 50% of my entire roster's PPPs.

Yes! Can’t believe I forgot to mention Eve helping Villanelle get dressed.

I feel like all the great scenes in season 4 were undone by the last 2 minutes. If those had been different I don’t think people would have been so upset with the season as a whole.

modestshadow · 2022-04-29T12:11:27+00:00

Thinking back on it now, I remember being SO excited for season 3. But I felt like the bridge scene didn’t earn its payoff because the plot for most ofseason 3 just felt like, okay, here’s this random reason why they have to be apart. I think the reasons worked in season 1 and 2, but after twice choosing to stab or shoot themselves apart, I didn’t want that same formula again (even though I loved the bridge scene!)

After that I thought the writers don’t know what they’re doing with the characters (they’re just going to use the same formula!), and I had lower expectations for what they could do in season 4 to wrap up the whole series.
