So apparently we're going to have a purse fight between DirecTV and Fox Sports Detroit (among others), effective November 1. Lovely. :rolleyes:

With Hunwick doing his "I'll punch anyone in my crease" and getting himself a game misconduct, I think I'm going to need to break into the hard liquor. I wish we had a backup goalie. No, wait, I wish we had one of the top goalies that we recruited the last two years so that Hunwick could be the backup goalie.

You might want to go look again, hon.

I've got one team 5-0. Let's hope the other team comes out of tomorrow night 1-0.

mmm.....shots.

I can only imagine how crazy that game was in person, considering how crazy it was following the score updates thread.

The background noise on the radio feed was pretty intense. I would have killed to be in that barn tonight. It's tempting to call in tomorrow and make the road trip.

Is it just your team itself that you miss, or is it the actual game? Have you given any thought to finding a club team or hitting up some drop in hockey?
I know I struggled a bit when I was finally done with the activity that centered my world for the better part of a decade (band). It was hard, and I missed it, but now I've put that energy and focus in to another hobby (running), and I think that seems to be working for me (hell, it even led to a job and a spot on a racing team). What I'm trying to say is that there is a world of sports, hobbies, and activities out there, and you never know what might come from trying something new.

I still go over my last Little League at-bat, and that was 30 years ago! (Cue the "We're Going Back In The Past 'Wavy Clouds'") I was the team's best hitter. It was the last inning of the city semi-finals. We were down by two, and the first two guys got on base. I come up, and the bench and the parents are going wild! With two strikes, the pitcher grooves one right down the middle . . . and I just watched it go by. Called strike three. My final Little League at bat. :mad::(:o


(Edited for paying attention to OP rather than blabbing about myself) Hang in there, Mav. Give it some time, and you'll find a way to keep the love alive.

I remember the feeling well. I hung it up after my sophmore year of hs I think (might have been Junior year) because I didn't like the group of kids I was with and didn't enjoy playing as much anymore as a result. I was always a solid house league player, but not quite good enough to crack our travel teams (side note, my age group had some solid players, our high school won the state championship the year after I graduated, and those were a lot of the kids who I was 'competing' with for travel team spaces). I decided to focus my attention on reffing hockey games as a way to stay around the rink and make some decent money too. I remember one December I reffed something like 25 games plus a weekly adult league of former juniors/college players from Canada who came over, so I ended up making close to $600 that month, which for a high school kid was ca$hmoney.

I still think about pulling the gear out once in a while and going to play pickup with my buddies, but haven't done it yet.

Morning Lodge.



Just don't do what Nate Hagemo did. When his hockey career was cut short due to injury, he turned to drugs. Eventually got it turned around and was a great youth coach in Edina last season, but it was tough on him. He had nothing going on outside of hockey and when he lost that, he was lost. Try and find the time to coach, even as an assistant in Kato youth association.

I mean this post in the most humble way possible..

I've thought of doing club hockey, and seriously considered playing junior hockey. I was the final player cut in my tryout with an NAHL team. That was really tough. For me, hockey has been more than a passion, I don't really know truly how to explain it. A lifestyle? I never drank during high school, I was always fully committed to the team and making myself better, I was the first at the rink, last to leave, etc. Think of it this way..as a twelve year old kid, I started posting on a college hockey forum, while my friends were playing xbox, etc.:p For fourteen years the guys I played with talked of making the State Tournament, and we worked hard it for years. It bugs me a lot that some guys just weren't fully committed. It takes more than just working hard in practice, it's the off ice workouts, the weights, the plyos, etc that set you above the rest of the pack. I understood that, but not enough people on the team did. I tried hard to be the best leader I could be, and felt I did a pretty good job, but there's a point that you can do no more.

I guess I'm just struggling with knowing I'm done, knowing I'll never wear that sweater again, that I don't have the chance to play for a Section title and a state tournament trip again. As a kid, honestly since four years old all I wanted to do was make that Tournament. I kind of feel like my dreams are just gone?

I am head coach of one of our Squirt B teams, and it has been an absolute blast thus far. It's fun to work with the kids and give back to the game anyway possible. This will also be my seventh year officiating USA Hockey.

I think about it everyday, but some days it's almost overwhelming.

Thanks for listening (reading) the other night, and for the advice. It's very nice to have some people to talk to, and who understand where I'm coming from.

Bit of a doosh moment from him. Clearly a Man Card Violation to leave your boy hanging like that.

I walked up to quite a few tech fans tonight. "Are you huskyfan" to which they would say "yes". Duh!

I am section u. My butt is in line with the blue line 3rd row from top. Meet in front of the beaver dam store before face off or even meet up for a bite to eat pre game?

Good game tonight. I don't think your chicken experiment paid off.
