That Aud Smell Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 ^ Re-reading the article, it's clear that the arrest was based on the victim being struck with a hockey stick. Which makes it weird. The DA probably won't charge the case. As you say above, the police report also talks about how the person being charged "continued to harass" the injured man and tried to fight him on the way to the locker room. I mean, what on earth. "Sad tough guys," as you put it. The saddest, in this case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_sauve28 Posted January 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 My guess: the one guy was taking a shot and the over aggressive jerk swung his stick in a wild manner trying to make it look like he was going for puck but really going for the guys face.

This is Zamboni in Fairport which I think is similar theme but more simple. The beginner Zamboni group is extremely welcoming and a good mix of brand new players and a few with experience but not necessarily interested in glory / just out for the laughs and exercise. I hear ya re demoralizing. The guy that runs Zamboni (Luke) is fantastic in terms of setting the tone and keeping it cool. Day-um. Luke still runs that? Thought he retired after Paul sold the rink a few years back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No refs, no scoresheet. "Coach" takes us through drills for 15-20 minutes first, then game on. Coach blows whistles for icing and off-sides, drops puck for face-offs, calls the occasional penalty (penalty shot). Other than that it's mostly fun and laughs and the progression as an adult learner is so addictive if you are that type. I’ve been trying to find a league that would be a good fit for me. I haven’t played in 20 years, so I can’t just join a league with guys that have been actively playing, but I’m also overqualified for the “never ever” league. I will have to look into this, it might be what I’ve been looking for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to come back after my knee replacements and I joined what was supposed to be a novice league and found myself boat raced at every game.
