I've found they're quite "pullable" (is that a word?); I've dragged one to the middle of Cook's Bay. The trick is to have a long rope so the pull is as horizontal as possible (and you thought high school physics wasn't relevant-lol).
maybe I'm just lucky with the boots I have or all those years of hockey gave me some balance but I've never had a need for cleats. Reasonably soft soles seem to grip just fine.
hmmm...wonder if it's time for another team in S. Ont..maybe a little competition for the market would smarten the Loafs up...and give us true hockey fans the chance to perhaps get our hands on an affordable ticket?
