THE START OF THE SEASON, TAKE TWO !!
/Hi guys,
Following unprecedented cancellations in the history of the LFA last weekend due to what I understand beeing good weather and family pressure, the games played will not count in the rankings of the season. So it is this coming weekend that the season will starts for real in our central division! .......... I hope !!
While everyone seemed to be enjoying the good weather I had to find 31 replacements including two goalies to ensure that those who wanted to play hockey could. With the help of some players who agreed to play two consecutive games, I managed to complete the alignment of our eight formations in our Saturday's divi. Luckily I had only five replacements to find for our Satellite Division. Let's say this is the kind of league record I hope not to have to beat again.
RAYMOND RIFFON PART OF THE TOP 10 PLAYS OF THE WEEK ON LIVE BARN!
The LFA is proud to point out that a play of one of our players is part of the top 10 plays of the week on Live Barn. Indeed Raymond Riffon of the Simwell Torpedeos illustrated part of his talent during our championship game in late August with this play. https://youtu.be/lm6LN40Dmnw We invite all our members to submit the plays they consider worthy of mention to Live Barn and we remind you to use your LFA promo code when you subscribe to save some “moula”.
LIQUIDATION SALE OF X1
Many asked me why we no longer have X1 (100% Quebec made Gatoraide) for our games. The reason is simple, Pro Circuit no longer supports the league because our members who use training products did not encourage them in return preferring to buy their stock at Popeye or similar stores. The league is liquidating the balance of our X1 inventory for those who would like to prepare the magic potion for their games. Swing by the office while we still have some!
TO PLAY OR NOT TO PLAY
Here are some wise words from one of the leagues oldest members. Wise words from Michael wees on to play or not to play. "I think if I take this game off, it will allow me to recover and be good for next week and beyond. That's always the hard decision: live for the moment and play through the pain, but fuck yourself up more, or rest and regret not playing, but be ready for the future...! " So next time you are on the fence about playing, look at the big picture and think of what Mike wrote. The man knows........
THE LARGEST THREAT FOR MEN IS ...
Those who follow the chronicles on this site since its beginnings know what I think of the condition of man in this matriarchal society. My positions are neither macho nor misogynist but rather reflect the reality in which men live in today’s society. Having been a hockey organiser since the late 90's and sports “activities” of all kinds since early childhood, I have seen guys ask their mother for permission to play outside, to finally be free for a couple years as teens before finding themselves in the same place but this time by asking their girlfriend or wife permission to do something with their buddys. By the end of this hockey project I promise to write a text on "The man who is no more" but in the meantime, here is a very interesting article that Larry "posted" on my FB account a few months ago with this preface. "This is a scientific explanation for what" Ogie " has been trying to make boys (and girls) understand for years !!!! Read it, share it and have your girl friends, and wifes read it as well” »http://www.bostonglobe.com/magazine/2017/03/09/the-biggest-threat-facing-middle-age-men-isn -smoking-obesity-loneliness / k6saC9FnnHQCUbf5mJ8okL / story.html? event = event25
Running a league for years as put me at the forfront of what guys are really living at home and it's not pretty as the reason why they can't (or are not allowed) do this or that. It's your life boys, do not let anyone else dictate how to live it, not even your tender half indoctrinated by today’s society where men no longer have their place. Keep a space for yourself and do not lose sight of your friends and who you are if you do not want to lose your mind one day, let alone your balls.
Later
