  1. We used to look after a rink at Johnston school Barrie.On school property.Always a different parent each evening on his own time shovel and flood the rink.This went on till maybe 5-6 years ago.Someone got hurt playing,the school got scared,guess what,liability scare but not one person complained.We always hurt ourselves,puck in the shin,bad trip up etc.

    Anyway you guessed it,shut down.I can't believe this is what our country has turned into.You want to play hockey,your on your own.Worked well for all of us over the years.

    totally get ya.

     

    in 20 years when our olympic team sucks there will be a huge push to build outdoor rinks and arenas lol

  2. Your house is much better prepaired then our Lew?

     

    Im still packing away boxes into storage, still have to move the couches around, and still have to hang more family pics and wrap another 10 or so presents?

  3. I'd crap on the neighbours door step for complaining....we hear kids all summer on the street outside my house on skate boards. We have never complained and never will. Most likely some old retired guy/girl with nothing better to do than ruin a good thing for the community. I hope they keep the boards up and I hope the kids continue to enjoy the hockey, most people can't afford to enrol the young ones in hockey these days. I would love to see 5 or 6 city workers show up and look at the faces on those 10 or 15 kids...

     

     

    MTBF

    I grew up in my grandpas house and on a street filled with eldery folks.

     

    my friends and I skateboarded all the time.

     

    sure it bothered a few people but we used to make apple pies with my grandpa and bring them to the neighborhood.

     

    guess what? you get to know these people through nice gestures and now your the nice kids on the block just having fun. no more complaints

     

    getting rid of a hockey rink is a horrible idea IMO

  5. you 's would be envious of my collection lol

     

    Ive got almost every valuable card imaginable except...

     

    no honus wagner haha

     

    my favorite sets though are the war era baseball cards

     

    only card ive ever sold over the years was on offer to good to resist on a michael jordan rookie card. payed a good chunk of my cousins wedding with that sale

  6. I love my stradics and they hold up awesome.

     

    But before I bought any high end gear I started with the cheapest walmart combos, moved to middle range, then to high end gear.

     

    To be honest, I prefer rods like the Clarus etc, $70-100 range.

     

    For reels I buy one gem I found 5 years ago and with a cleaning each season they hold up and are just awesome cheap reels. The Okuma Avenger in the 20 and 30 series. Very durable and great smooth drags. No ploblems even handling big stugeon. There on all my kids rods, a few of mine and all my ice rods. I own probably 10 of them and none have had an issue. Can't beat the $40 price tag either?
