POLL: Hybrid Youth Hockey Thoughts

[Youth Hockey Info]

The first weekend is in the books. 



Thoughts, how'd it go? Are you a fan, or not? Are there any complaints?

I feel bad for the coach for having to decide who plays forst.

My son is a U16 at the Kings. Played hybrid game last night at Power Play. All went very well, moved along quickly. The referees new exactly what the format was, our game even went into overtime, 5:00 3v3. The switching of players was easy, 2 minutes between periods. The rink staff did a great job getting the kids staged to go on the ice. If you have good rink staff and good referees it makes all the difference.

The craziness of the rink owners is out of control. Twin Ponds won't even let the kids get dressed inside the rink.

My husband coaches 16 and 18U- he hated it. Stressing about kids in locker room, one coach on bench was too hard, kid got hurt- can’t check on him, confused about who got what playing time, kids exhausted playing with hardly any subs and our players thought it sucked too!!!

[Guest]

This is not hockey. Losing out on the "locker room" experience is just as important as the actual on ice activity. Maybe even more. Someone needs to have the balls to stand up to the over reaching executive powers these governors have. Its unchecked and never ending.

When politics interfered with soda size and straw material, nobody thought it was such a big deal.

Now, politics has crept into every aspect of life, and now we feel it more deeply than ever - as the politicians are deciding what our kids can and can not do.

By decree of the King:
Go walk around Walmart, yes, good. 
Sit home and play computer games, yes, good.
Play hockey? no, bad.
Based on what?

What's next?

[Guest]

I haven’t been to a rink all summer where the players didn’t get dressed outside.

[Guest]

My player is 16U, so far haven't had to deal with hybrid or changing outside yet. Of course our DVHL season doesn't start for another 2 wks... 🤞🤞

Has Wolf spoke out specifically to the hockey community explaining his thought process behind this? If not than he needs to respond.  The hockey community needs to understand why the limit is on 25 for such a large hockey rink area when the numbers are higher for much smaller areas like pubs.  A mass email or statement from the hockey community needs to be sent where he is forced to respond. I see several people posting in letter format directed towards Wolf in FB groups and Wolf will never see them.  Something needs to be done where he is required to make a public announcement stating his unbalanced logic behind this 25 number and why it can't be 50,75,100, etc...  If he has made this statement would someone please share!
