Ice is also like $20 per game compared to $7 to compete with bigger tryhards, lol. Plus the smaller team frankly means I get a better workout. I'll do ice next season, taking a break this time.


I find ice a lot more fun.
If tiering is done right it's a blast

No doubt it's more fun. My closest ice rink is the caps practice rink and everyone plays like they're trying out. Even in the novice leagues. Not gonna pay hundreds of dollars to play with strangers in a no contact league where everyone hits.

Next closest place is almost an hour away by car. Add to that I can join 2 ball hockey leagues, a bowling league, and a softball league for half the price of a single ice hockey league. And as I mentioned before, I think I need to replace most of my equipment. Shin guards, helmet and skates at very least. With all that stacking up it isn't worth it this year.

Honestly Idk which I find more fun, Ice or Ball hockey
Both are very different games and require different strategies and playstyles

Had a full line change but lost 9-1. I was +1... and we were switching up lines.

I'm so far from the guy who blames his team for a loss, especially when it would have helped to score more goals, but dear god. Man open in front 24/7 and I'm the one who has to sprint back to tie up the stick and stop him from banking in the empty net. My Jimmie are rustled.

Then 15 seconds after i hit the bench someone scores.

I know that feel. Last year it was the same for me. Spend the entire shift defending, get off, then they score.
