Chris12345 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) I always thought this was a funny story.... I made all the hot shot teams growing up, won the championships you name it but was always a benchwarmer. So by grade 10 I knew I was done. Continued to play though. I graduated high school and went on to university. The school at that time was just re starting their hockey program so I decided to try out. Big surprise to me...the team stunk. I was easily one of the better players and knew that was a massive problem so I quit right then and there. The school wouldn't stop calling my house. I was being recruited! Man did I feel like a big leaguer so what did I do? I hired an agent! My mom was representing me as my agent fielding calls from the school! I wasn't playing unless I received a full ride..... I never played for the school thankfully as they lost every game by massive margins and I was able to focus on my education which paid off big time. Every so often I remind my mom that she had to be my agent for a short period. Edited October 23, 2020 by Chris12345 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember Quinn Hancock quite well! He was actually the only junior player to have a clip in rock em' sock em' because he was hipchecked and did a complete flip. I remember Quinn having a TON of skill. Gary Toor, Scotty Meyer, Chara, Curt Tippler, Tyler Bouck, all names off the top of my head! ya he was on coaches corner for that hip check he took then he scored ot winner next shift.

canuckster19 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Played one season of "professional" roller hockey in Sweden... so about as far as everyone else. Team needed a back up goalie, whatever I thought, I just liked hanging out with my friends. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the amount of time you spend in the Trump thread calling him a racist and bigot, I thought you would know better... I guess not. Hockey Canada was smart enough to stop using that term... guess you play by your own rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your honesty, it pretty much proves what I already know, no one really gives a rats ass about what they say, they all have their own line in the sand and don't really give two flying flips about whether it's derogatory or not, I know where your line is now, about where I figured it would be.

I don't even know WTF you're talking about. Nor do I care. If you think you have some sort of case for me saying something "racist or bigoted" then report it.

For whatever reason, you don't like my stance on Donald Trump, so you're grasping at some sort of ridiculous straw here. You aren't honestly outraged at my use of a word that was being used at the time of the topic I was discussing with someone else. So again...if you think you have a case report me..

I've posted maybe twice in that thread the past few months, I don't even care anymore about it, I'm beyond sick of it, every morning, I live in Sweden, I have to hear Swedish news talking about this, Europe has more people a greater economy, and certainly a better quality of life than the USA, so no. I said I admire your position, I like that you stand up for what you believe in, I agree with most of what you say, I have no desire to report it, I'm not petty, I just want to know why you think that word is ok to use. I mean if you are not aware that it is a derogatory term, just say so. Edited October 24, 2020 by canuckster19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if Tim Pool or Steve Crowder have made videos denouncing the soy-boys who made the decision to restrict our speech, interfere with our traditions as they literally destroy our history. The word 'midget' was never meant to be derogatory at all, this is like a page out of 1984. Edited October 24, 2020 by Toews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
