Re: Before the Politics
by Armi31 on Friday, March 30, 2007 This brought bak some memories to, This season was a rollercoaster, we started off top team in the league then the gm brought in some new guys from jra and sent down a couple of the guys, we slipped down to 5th in the div. Then the captains had a meeting with the coaches and got those boys bak. By the trade deadline we had made it bak to 1st, and then the gm brings in two shitshows from out of town(paid to get on) and it was down hill again, lost second round to a team we swept in the season.

Re: Before the Politics
by GORDIE4LIFE on Sunday, April 03, 2005 definitely alll true...ive witnessed the bull-shit political game first-hand too many times. but this year, i was blessed to play on a travel team that had absolutely none of that shit. half the team had known each other since the beginer/initiation days. we had 2 awesome coaches that knew how to motivate each one of us individually and as a team. put that all together with some new talent and parents that trusted the coaches decisions, we were a solid family ( i would compare it to the 1980 US olympic team from MiRACLE). we ended up second in our league (behind a team that went on to a state championship and a decent run to nationals) and were knoked out of the state tourny from a group of hometown refs (the other team had 6 powerplay goals en route to a 8-6 win/heartbreaker) we had no super-stars, just a group of blue-collar brothers playing "Old-Time HOckey". On the ice and off the ice we were always together. The end of the year was sad, because next year we are not gonna be together as a team like we assumed we would. but our coaches didnt get the team we would have to play for and players are scattering to probably 3 different organizations next season and one goalie goin to juniors. im expecting the political bull-shit next year, its almost inevitible. but i will always remeber these guys and all the things that made us a family. i could only hope for a team that is half as much of a family as we were ever again. until then i will play old time hockey and hold true to what it meant to be part of that team. hopefully every one of you could be as lucky as me to be part of something so great and true to the game that became our first love. GORDIE!!!--always remember

by jsgongér35 on Wednesday, March 30, 2005 great article man, I finished up in juniors last year, sounds like a similar boat, but all the shit about the old days definetely brought back some memories.
by toner on Thursday, March 31, 2005 thanks a lot man :D, this past few months has been a gonger and a half for me (losing by atleast 6 goals every game isn't fun) and remembering the years as a little kid reminded me how much fun the game can be, just wanted to spread the message to everyone incase they needed it by bigbert44 on Thursday, March 31, 2005 Solid article and it's all so true. Sometimes you forget that it's really just about having fun and thinking about those times when you were younger definately make you remember the simpler times. Good job, dude. |
