Hey Hockeypuck,
This is exactlly what I'm talking about. The poor ice conditions, for several years in a row, are going to take a toll on the derby entries in the future. Older guys like me, are finding it too much of a hassle. Then you have the younger kids, the future of our sport. It certainly wasn't much fun for them. It was more work, than fun, just getting and staying on the ice. Are they going to want to go next year, or will they opt to sit in front of the computer, playing games?
I certainly don't have all the answers, I'm just trying to open up some discussion about moving the date. I wrote to Rotary before the derby began, and write to them again this coming week. If they don't hear from us, they might just think that everything is good to go!!!!
C'mon derby entrants, lets hear some of your stories, both good and bad!!
