Re: Oh Canada!
Road hockey's common here—two on two, three on three, moving the nets whenever a car comes thru—or boot hockey at an outdoor rink. Both of those were the extent of my hockey participation.101Walterton wrote: ↑10 Jan 2018, 2:45pmThat is what we played except we had the added dimension of playing on ice in trainers.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑10 Jan 2018, 2:42pmI don't remember anyone playing field hockey in Saskatchewan—which is odd, actually, given how big ice hockey is—but floor hockey was big in school.

The other winter sport was Dodgems.
After the hockey was finished we would ride our bikes on the hockey rink and try and avoid each other but the last one to fall off was the winner.

Burn this country down. Regardless of whether our hired thugs stopped an alien invasion in the 50s, burn it down.

I enjoyed this exchange on the Toronto subreddit. Subways were delayed and overcrowded, apparently because some people were taken ill. 905'ers refers to suburbanites.

Ha! That's great. I always liked Lloyd. Far more than Mansbridge or Nash.
