Happy Monday everyone. I hope you are all enjoying the season so far. Well I mean I hope all of you who made good team choices this year are enjoying the season! For those of you who just called me an asshole for writing that….you got no one to blame but yourselves and your choices!
So yeah, I have been getting a lot of emails with some awesome stories lately. I thought I would share a few from the Tier III shit show files.
It’s not junior hockey when you show up on game night knowing you are a healthy scratch and see your jersey for sale at the ticket table. When asking the ticket merchandise lady who doesn’t know who you are why it was there she tells you that coach said the player was cut and try to sell it. Yep, way to find out you are cut as a fifth goalie.
Its not junior hockey when you play for the Gibbons Pioneers in the GMHL. This years version of bank robbery taking place in Canada. Yep 0 and 10 with 95 goals against and zero points for the season. A cash grab from kids on the reservation. Insane how the GMHL continues to get away with this across Canada, and Canadians continue to fall for this.
Its not junior hockey when your coach is talking to players about how he is banging one of the billet moms while her husband is at work. It becomes a real problem when the billet mom is your high school classmate and life long friend.
Its not junior hockey when you have 5 goalies on your team. That’s called a cash grab.
Its not junior hockey when the parents out number the actual paying fans in the stands.
Its not junior hockey when you have to drive yourself to a game that is three hours away. Looks like the owner cant pay the bus bill.
And last but not least……
Its not junior hockey when you have been waiting two months for team bags to arrive and when they do, you are given a team gym bag. Not only is it a gym bag and not an equipment bag, but the zipper is broken and the logo stitching is already coming apart.
And yes, all this has actually happened in the last week. Stick around, I have a feeling we got a death notice coming soon from another super awesome development program!
