I went to see a match Redmen this week, the hockey team at McGill University. Without wishing to offend the infrastructure the school and team organization, but it's not hard you League of OAU! (Ontario University Athletics) is far from the U.S. college hockey or Major Junior ...
Findings
- I have re-inflate my tires out of the game ... The parking is Garnotte then y ' at least 15 potholes (ostrich nests) that separates the cabin toll and the arena.
- The arena is so poorly ventilated that whenever a player was ditched, I had a draft stock of hockey which I passed under the nose
- Mascot is so old it looks like she has spent the last five years in a hockey bag
The level of play: I'm not saying the college players are bad hockey, but game of Midget AAA and Junior is more interesting to watch ... The passes are rarely on the pallet, guys shambles on the ice and they are not able to create a game, be it offensively or defensively. And that's not to mention the goalkeeper of the opposing team ... I can even call it the butterfly style; Y'avait more like a squashed skunk on the edge of the 20 minutes he was so often on his stomach into his net. When it made the Goaler clears the puck the blue line (it's not jokes Y'avait if not his pads the ref would have taken him for a third def would then wedged punishment for too many men on ice !). In addition, since the guys have no right to fight, it retracts into short-lived band then it will load fields at every turn. Oh and guys are ben ben good for making slap shot, but once two puck ended up in the stands.
Conclusion of my evening at the arena McConnell: I do not know what's their secret ... but cursed their popcorn is good!
* Sorry for the many anglicisms and terms in English ... But admit it gives me credibility, eh? hehe
* Mea culpa to all college players in this league, my goal is not to discredit your talent, but only stress that this is not a league where the best of you to make to your full potential!
