Re: CHA Thoughts and Prognostications: Year 11, The Finale...

At what wage, for how many hours a week, and with what hazards?
Then, what happens if there is someone more desperate than you who's willing to work for less $, work more hours, and risk more hazards??
Then, what happens if there is someone else who's even more desperate who's willing to work for even less $, work even more hours, and risk even more hazards???

and that's an example of a glib answer you might get from a Fox News Entertainment "personality" to a serious question

I'll guarantee you that if you're the most desperate person willing to work the most hours for the lowest wage risking the most hazards, you won't be "happy" and you might be killed or seriously injured.

I agree with that, but how's the pay holding up those signs? It's sure getting the BREC built isn't it?

Let's see here, the unions have kept American businesses competitive in the steel industry... oh wait; how about the textile industry... oh wait; how about the machine tool industry... nope; how about the auto industry... no again; and on and on... let's see how many jobs the unions have "saved or created"??? What was once necessary is now just an overbloated bureaucracy trying to save their own overpaid jobs. How can you possibly equate the skill required to throw a fender on a Ford to that of a college grad skill requirement with the associated costs of acquiring that education yet the fender thrower gets paid more. It certainly isn't because of his "value added" to the product. It's because they have certain businesses by the throat until they are finally moved off shore... besides, most of those people that would work in those extreme hazards you mentioned shouldn't even be here!!! I just couldn't resist... Now for the retort...

Here's a comment that our PA contingent may appreciate. While looking at Wikipedia, I saw that Cambria County War Memorial Arena still exists and that the Johnstown Chiefs still play there.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnstown_Chiefs
Has anyone here seen a game there? That would have been a great place for a CHA tournament!

J-town is actually my home turf. I grew up on Cresson Mountain, which basically splits the difference between the Flood City and Altoona.

The War Memorial is a pretty decent old barn. They renovated it a few years back, adding a 'party deck' at the Zamboni doors. They re-did the lighting and sound, which were in DESPARATE need of getting replaced.

Still has it quirks. Like the 'drop' to get on the ice from the locker room ramp.

Darn it TN, now I'm getting misty eyed from the memories. I'm going to have to go watch Slap Shot now, to fill in the old gaps in the memory.

Spydey, FYI - it was before your time but I used to watch the old predecessor Johnstown team (the Jets of the EHL) when they were on the road visiting our barn, the Clinton Arena. I got a chance to visit the Arena in November, first time I had been inside there since ... 1970? It had not changed much except that they actually had permanent seats and glass. When I used to go there, the seating was either just the concrete in the end zones or wooden chairs on the sides (which on occasion ended up on the ice when a fight would break out). And there was no glass along the sides, and only wire screen in the end zones. Those were the days!

The place actually looked pretty good. And it smelled great - like a hockey rink should!

I'm gonna start neg-repping people here in a minute.

The only union worth discussing here is the NHLPA. Discuss.

GO BIG BLUE! Finally home hockey again. I'm wearing my Wyatt Russell jersey today.
