a few of my friends have their kids on the local "Mite 8U Select Team" and they had their first travel tourney last weekend. I can't imagine a worse Hell.
well, maybe watching the Pens PP.......

One day during pickup last week someone who works at the rink in asked me to join their beer league team. I figured why not, I wouldn’t want to do it when the weather is warmer but I have nothing better to do in the winter
first game was this week at 1130pm which is the latest I’ve ever played hockey (never played after midnight before). Also I didn’t plan my dinner/alcohol intake beforehand well and felt like I had to throw up for most of the game
with 30 seconds left I got a breakaway with a chance to win the game and got denied. We lost in OT. Didn’t get into bed until 1:30 on a weeknight. Fuggggg

Did you sleep at the rink? How did you have an 11:30 start and get into bed at 1:30...?!?!

game ends at 12:30ish at the earliest. Doesn’t feel unreasonable considering I have to wind down in the locker room and then change, drive home (15-20 minutes), shower, get ready for bed, etcDid you sleep at the rink? How did you have an 11:30 start and get into bed at 1:30...?!?!

I try not to get too involved with extracurricular stuff because, at the end of the day, we all need to wake up for work tomorrow.
But damn if some dadholes don't make it difficult to avoid them.
Dek last night. I was not really close to the net. Old, short, and fat D man comes over and throws an open-handed punch/slap to try and move me. Odd strategy, not very effective. Anyway I hold my ground until he takes 2 more shots at me (this time with a closed fist). Again, I'm mostly bewildered by the choice, but now I'm kind of annoyed because it's not exactly accidental/a reasonable attempt at playing the position.
He goes into the corner to follow the play, which then goes up to the point. I see him coming for round 3 out of the corner of my eye, so I brace and stick my elbow out a bit. Not forcefully, but protecting myself in case he tries to run through my blindside.
He ran his sternum right into my elbow, and starts complaining to the ref. Spent the rest of the night trying to run me. 1st time I got him with a reverse hit. 2nd time avoided. 3rd time avoided and sprung my center for a breakaway because that dude ignored him to take a run at me (didn't score but it would've been glorious). Anyway, dude spends the rest of the game pissed off.
End of game handshake comes and he ducks me even though I'm there ready to fist bump and say good game, which pissed me off but we got at 3-0 win so I'm not losing sleep over it.
Just typical adult league starting **** and getting surprised when it gets dished back at you. Gotta love it.

Scheduling grievance:
Dude who schedules for our dek league is the worst. Before the season started, we gave him a list of our ice team's games since half our roster is on that ice team. He decided he was going to "schedule around" our ice schedule by literally just scheduling us the day before or the day after ice.
Starting this coming Friday, here's my 11 day schedule:
Friday: Dek
Saturday: Ice
Sunday: Off
Monday: Off
Tuesday: Off
Wednesday: Ice
Thursday: Dek
Friday: Dek
Saturday: Off
Sunday: Off
Monday: Dek
After the last dek game, we have TEN days off, and then once again play a back to back ice/dek.
I understand scheduling isn't easy, but holy ****, at least make it look like you aren't trying to kill us.

Love that schedule. My spring-early summer is monday-wednesday-thursday... both teams play pretty much weekly and we have a pickup skate from april-july. Best time of the year

As if it couldn't get any more hilarious, our ice team had a game rescheduled to the exact same time as our dek game on the 8th.
16 days between our already-scheduled ice games (4/3 and 4/19) and that just happens to be the only slot he has open lol.
Can't make this up.
