| I have been compiling a collection of former players
and their post-hockey careers. I currently have well over
300 former players and their post-NHL occupations.

Exactly what players did Smith get...he got junk. How many midgets have hockey careers into their
thirties? Fleury is basically done...on the downside with an anchor. |

Its unfair to say theres a decline in Canadian hockey players --
Lemieux, Messier and Gretzky are rare players, who emerged at
the same time - you cant expect one to arrive every year.
There are cycles of development in hockey. Currently there are a lot of
promising young Canadian players in the CHL and NHL, who simply need time to
develop into good and great players. But we must not rush their development
just because of expansion. |
| On another point. I did Midget C playoffs yesterday. I knew I was in trouble
when I found out I was doing the bronze medal game. Speaking of absolutely
no motivation to play in the last game of 3/4s of these kids careers. Had 2
fights and had to toss a coach. This coach never seems to last through the
games when I ref. Maybe its because hes loud and thinks that if his team
s, its the refs fault. Oh well, after the game during the medal
presentations, the winning teams coach decided to tell the losing teams fans
through the P.A. how well the game was officiated. Loudest boos of the game.
Another great memory of house league hockey. |
