It absolutely amazes me the illogical practices and plain stupidity I see on a daily basis. How this world works is sheer luck, I just cannot believe it somedays.
@ReviewOfHockey AEJHL folded, one team joined the USPHL, and won the league championship.
CAJHL folded.
NJHL and USPHL Premier are still around.
Those are both Junior age leages not HC affiliated.
@ESPNRefNHL I make the decision a bit before the dots…if you start making your decision at the dots you are prone to a late whistle or late wave impacting player safety. Make the call by the dots yes…but don’t start your decision then.
@kbieksa3 the extension like a sprinter is irrelevant though, it’s skates, always has been. Not sure why players lean their stick out front or bend over to extend, just skate hard and through the dot “line” across the ice.
@BLuchanski@JesseGranger_@ScoutingTheRefs You’re not wrong. No straight line up ice, player angled to where the puck would end up not trying to get to the puck in the most direct manner, gliding vs. skating, also reaching out with a stick is irrelevant in every league w/hybrid icing, not sure why any player does this.
EXCLUSIVE: Humboldt Father Speaks Out, Exposes Why Sidhu Still Avoids Deportation: “He Only Cares About Himself"
(WARNING: The contents of this story may be extremely upsetting or distressing to some viewers.)
On April 6, 2018, a double-trailer semi-truck driven by Jaskirat Singh Sidhu blew through a stop sign at a rural intersection in Saskatchewan, Canada, and collided with a bus carrying the Humboldt Broncos players and staff, injuring 13 people and killing 16, most of them teenagers, including Chris Joseph’s son, Jaxon.
After pleading guilty and serving roughly four years in prison, Sidhu has been on full parole since 2023. However, he has continued to dominate headlines, fighting tooth and nail not to be deported back to India.
Jaxon’s father, Chris Joseph — a former NHL player and firefighter — says Sidhu is not the remorseful man the media portrays him to be, but a "selfish" one who affected his life “in the worst way possible,” and who continues to do so by seeking an exemption from the law after having destroyed 29 families.
“The last time I ran my fingers through my son’s hair was in a morgue. He was cold, and he was beat up,” says Joseph, responding to the truck driver whose reckless driving resulted in the death of Joseph’s son Jaxon, along with 15 others, yet who continues to fight against deportation to India on the grounds that he does not want to be separated from his own son.
While most Canadians agree with his deportation order, some columnists and politicians argue that he should be forgiven and not be separated from his family.
“You tell me which child of yours you want to give up, and I will be the keyboard warrior hoping for forgiveness. It’s not about vindication — it’s about what’s right and what’s wrong, and the future of our country,” says Joseph, arguing that giving Sidhu an exemption from the law would set the wrong precedent for other unqualified drivers and signal that Canadian lives do not matter.
“Everybody has told him he should be deported — the judge, the CBSA, the Immigration and Refugee Board, the Federal Court of Appeal — and he still keeps trying, because he is looking out for himself and he really doesn’t care about anybody else,” says Joseph, urging politicians not to interfere with the judicial process and to allow him to be deported as he is supposed to be.
In this exclusive interview with @MediaBezirgan, Chris Joseph addresses those who advocate against Sidhu's deportation, discusses the corruption within the trucking industry, and explains why he no longer trusts the mainstream media when it comes to this story.
Former Edmonton Oiler & Team Canada player calls out CBC for twisting the narrative.
Watch and share. Help @cjoseph23 make sure the truth about the Humboldt Broncos bus crash — the tragedy that killed his son and 15 others — is heard.

@Morgan_C_Ross Interesting question on whether they’d still be allowed in National Parks, that’s akin to asking if a Slovenian is allowed to visit Croatia. Non-Canadian citizens visit National Parks every year. Banking, AB has the ATB currently operating outside a national bank scope. 🤷🏻♂️
