2025 NHL UFA/Trade Thread

Wrong and extremely elitist as only the well off could play, even the house league you played

the health of youth is important and should be funded by government, certainly more than funding lesbian studies in Ethiopia or whatever other shit our governments fund overseas.
Hockey Canada doesn't do fuck all to make the sport affordable. And kids can get exercise that doesn't involve $1K worth of hockey equipment. Its not the only sport out there.

If taxpayers are going to pay the cost of minor hockey then Hockey Canada has to be transparent and subject to both government oversight and regulation. Lots of it.
 
Provincial and regional associations deal with the affordability issue.

It may be a case of divvying up responsibilities.

HC deals with international stuff, which is legit.
 
Why would you deny a child the right to play hockey, grow the game. Shame
There is no "right" to play hockey or any other sport but if the government wants to fund it so that underprivileged kids can play, Im happy for them to do that. But anything on which taxpayer money is spent needs to be scrutinized and regulated.

What good has Hockey Canada done? They didn't stop Graham James from being a coach, and they didnt stop 15 separate incidents of sexual assault from occurring between 1989 and 2018. We dont need them.
 
I fully expected them to get off after the mistrial and switch from a jury to a judge. Absent a corroborating witness, rape cases are nearly impossible to prosecute at the best of times. But I know enough about hockey culture (more than this "honorable justice" does) to know rhat they were guilty as fuck. And anyone else familiar with the culture knows they did it too.
 
Never understood the love for them in the hockey community.
Hockey culture is objectively awful in many ways. Just read the comments on any post related to the verdict in this case. Full of mouth breathing idiots who couldn't get laid if rape and prostitution didn't exist.
