The Death Pool – Special Report – Top Ten Signs Your Team May Fold

Hey kids, hockey season is officially here!  Oh hell yeah, who’s excited for those first USA Hockey protected lists to come out?!  I know I am and so are a lot of other people.  Who’s not excited?  Ummmmmm yeah the coaches who don’t have full rosters and they know who they are.

But hey, as you kids head off to main training camp and get ready for the regular season, I thought I would share with you the top ten signs your team may in danger of folding;

10.  You arrive at your team arena and the coach asks if you brought any extra practice jerseys because the team jerseys haven’t arrived yet;

9.  You arrive at your team arena and its not an ice arena its actually a roller rink;

8.  You arrive in town and go to check in and you find out you have a new coach because the one who recruited you resigned the night before;

7.  You walk into the dressing room and you see twelve sets of goalie pads and that’s it;

6.  You are told games are being “rescheduled” due to circumstances beyond the teams control;

5.  You are waiting at the airport for your ride, and no one shows up;

4.  You ask who the top line of forwards are and the coach says Captain Crunch, Count Chocula, and Boo Berry;

3.  You land at the airport and while you are waiting at the arrival gate for your ride, you see your coach walking into the departure gate with all his bags;

2.  Your team hasn’t announced any player signings in ohhhhhhh a month or two;

1.  The night before camp opens you see your coaches number on caller ID and you answer and he asks if your 16 year old sister has committed anywhere for the season;

That’s right kids, its about to get real stupid.  When you see only 3 on 3 drills at a camp, or a total of 12 players at a camp, and a team still insists they will play, you might just be dealing with a group of morons.  But hey, get those check books out and don’t forget to sign those contracts.
