Roller Hockey

[jerrytimes]

You guys need to man up to ice hockey

It's cheaper and a lot easier to find a team.

Roller is indeed cheaper, and that is certainly a legitimate reason for one to get into it. But, in my experience, it definitely isn't any easier to find a team than in ice hockey. And just a heads up, reffing is pretty lousy everywhere (outside of juniors, college, and the pros; although, even that can be debated).

I know, it's just really, really bad at this place.

It's really really bad at every place. Lazerskate hired a couple new refs and they worked my game last night and did a decent job. The only thing that they missed was once they were both watching the play instead of the back side ref watching away. Also one of my players had his helmet ripped off his head and got a small cut. He jumped up and wanted to beat the crap out of the guy who did it, and apparently the ref thought he took his own helmet off because he was going to get the only penalty. Fortunately one of the owners was watching the game and talked to the ref so they both got 2 for roughing.

Once we were playing and I got a high stick just above my eye. It was bleeding and there was no call, but the refs noticed it happen but didn't call a penalty because they said that I caused the other players stick to come up. I was also removed from the game because it wouldn't stop bleeding.

Nice. A couple games ago I got my feet taken out from under me right in front of the ref. When I asked why there wasn't a call he said I fell down. That's kind of what made it a trip. If I hadn't fallen it would have been a hook.

They are amazing, some of the things they say. I'd rather just hear them tell me they didn't see it. I really love the ones that are cocky and think they are never wrong.

Sean Baligian used to play during out back of work at Little Caesars back in the day,one guy as a joke took some gold spray paint and painted the tennis ball and awarded him the golden gretzky award.
