How to know if hockey has taken over your life

You base the purchase of your new vehicle on how

many kids, sticks, and hockey bags it will hold.

You feel lost when you have a free weekend.

The words “state of emergency” or “travel ban” just mean

less traffic on the way to the rink.

You ground your kids for a week

(except for hockey practice).

You rationalize spending $150 on a

hockey stick for a 10 year old but won't

spend $5 on a birthday card for your spouse.

When someone asks how old your child is,

you respond "I have an 03”.

Practices make up a very large part of your social life.

You buy gloves according to how

loud you can clap in them.

You miss the parents of your child's

teammates during off season.

You refuse to make any plans with your friends until

you check your kid's hockey schedule.

Your computer passwords begin with hockey or

contains your child's hockey number.

The playlist on your phone or ipod is filled

with pre-game music

Each shootout will be five (5) on five (5). If after the first round of five (5) shooters there is a tie, a second round of five (5) shooters shall be used. If after two rounds there is still a tie, then additional rounds of (5) shooters each shall be used until the tie is broken.
