OT: Vancouver realtor facing criminal charges and life time ban from beer league for kicking an opponent on the face with his skates

Forge a signature 3 months, drink some milk suspended indefinitely. What a world.

Is the milk drinking realtor suspended indefinitely? I suspect that the actual suspension will be short.

No - I hooked up with a Kiwi girl in Canada and we went back there together as she still needed to finish university. I was under 30 at the time so I got an open visa for the first year and then partner visas through her for the next couple years.

Did you use a lot of "rubber" in NZ?

Wait you're actually defending a grown man drinking milk out of the carton of someone else's fridge?

The anger issues on display in beer league hockey, even at the lower tier levels, is pretty astounding.

It's worse at lower tiers. In my experience, the better players you have the more chill they are.

Shit, the worst I ever had for that was my own teammate. He once high sticked me three times in the same freaking game because he had no idea how to control his stick. I pride myself on being even keeled, but I threatened to shove the stick somewhere uncomfortable if he didn’t get a handle on it.

Never understood the stigma against guys wearing cages, or neck guards for that matter. My wife was always adamant I wear a neck guard and I always did. Didn’t stop the chirps. “Who do you think you are, Tomas Plekanec?”

That Plekanec lines is pretty good though!

There shouldn't be stigma for wearing a cage. But I commonly see guys with cages initiating altercations. They (some not all) are just a little braver than they need to be.
I've played with and without a cage even recently. I just can't get used to the cage. Now I just wear a visor.
When I play goal I'll wear a neck guard. As a 15 year old at my first junior tryout a veteran wired a puck from the hashmarks that hit me in the neck. Scared the crap out of me. I've worn a neck guard ever since.

I wore a dangler all through minor and still got hit in the throat twice.

Agreed. The better players don’t feel the need to overcompensate to prove something. They know they’re good, but they also know they’re not NHL good.

I embarrass a lot of guys in rec league, and I'm extremely handsome. two reasons I will continue to wear a cage.

Be honest; you wear the cage to protect your modesty.
