8am Olympic Gold Medal game.
9am 8 year old game.
Kids at the (closed) rink bar pregame.
Parents streaming the Olympic game and cheering the kids on from the stands.
Kids make it off the ice for OT. Both teams watching together.
Truly no better way to watch! 🥇🏒

For the folks against cross ice hockey, I’m curious… would you put an 8 year old on a big league baseball diamond too?

[KC @kcash22]

First weekend of hockey, rink manager said two coaches were tossed yesterday.

Tonight, minor misconducts for:
Hit from behind
Hitting after the whistle
Head contact

All in one game.

It’s truly a shame there’s not more coaches out there trying to do it the right way.

[KC @kcash22]

Can’t wait to get out on the ice to referee the first weekend of youth hockey tomorrow!! I’m sure that will be a completely reasonable experience as well!!!

🙃😑🫠

If you’re wondering just how unhinged youth sports are…

No umpires at the field today. I was asked to call the game. 10u ball.

Tough weather day, rainy and storm warnings. Walk towards our dugout and two parents from my team are coming for me about lightning that no one saw.

[KC @kcash22]

It’s local town little league fall baseball.

My real issue here is that usually this level will use youth umpires and the sad reality is they wouldn’t have treated a 13 year old umpire any differently.

I’ll never understand why anyone thinks it’s okay to model that behavior.

[KC @kcash22]

Eye daggers coming my way, get together with all the coaches. And I guess they were then laying into the other coach.

I haven’t umpired a game since I was 12 and my kid is out here too. I’m just a parent and an AC. I’m not here arguing about lighting but NO ONE ELSE SAW IT.

Marketing Emails and Ads:
“Missed tryouts? No problem!”

No… that’s EXACTLY the problem.

Club programs watering themselves down in the name of profit at the expense of children has ruined youth hockey around here.

[KC @kcash22]

Overheard today during a full ice mites game…

“If you’re just going to be silly and distract everyone on the bench then you’re not going to play”

One of the more unhinged things I’ve heard a coach say.

Being silly and have fun is exactly what 8U hockey players should do.

@Jlounsbury11 I can’t stop laughing every time I see this referred to as mating season. It’s so perfect 🤣

[Jon Lounsbury @Jlounsbury11]

I find this appropriate during youth hockey mating season.

Your child doesn’t get a contract,
Sidney Crosby gets a contract.

Your child gets an agreement to pay the club money for said child to play for the program.

Be proud of your kids accomplishments but let’s give the game back to the kids.

Inadvertently stole a drink at Starbucks this morning. Now my anxiety will consume me in this moment for the next 3-7 years and I’ll have to resort to drive thru only for at least 8 months.

Seriously who did not vote for Ichiro. Unveil yourself immediately

I just saw an advertisement begging for 2018 goalies. Six. Specializing in a specific position. 🤯

I just had to show my ID to buy a lighter. At least I got to make some people laugh by saying I was born in the 1900s, I can buy anything I want.

“I wish there were no guns at all because when kids ‘get died’ because of a gun that’s too sad for their families and they shouldn’t have to be sad like that”

Things my seven year old shouldn’t ever have to think about.
