Hey all, I hope everyone is staying safe and your families are healthy. Here's a link to another article regarding the unique challenges hockey poses in regards to the spread of Covid. It has some quotes from Osterholm as well where he explains why hockey is more risky than other indoor sports. http...

Mine were proven true 12 years ago. This year has reinforced those.

Hey Elliott...another chance for me to engage in long-winded posts that drive people crazy?... Just kidding guys.

Much appreciated Elliot and Westy. Wife is pretty bummed as her dad passed away when she was 13 and this particular uncle only lived a mile away and became the de facto dad for her and her 4 siblings.

JG/WOM - We had a 3 + month pause already , now 1 month pause , almost guaranteed to be a following month pause , that’s 5 months out of 10 months from mid March to mid January , and possibility more after that I guess what upsets a lot of people is we don’t seem to see a level of public discussion...

Wise Many points we find ourselves in agreement again , and always respect your opinions where different Lots kids also lost a lot of ice time April-June ( and now ) , with private clinic operators/leagues also , in addition to MH Elite program and AAA I agree with you , again partially based on th...

WOM... I actually doubt that we’re too far apart in our thinking regarding the actual virus, but I we’ll have to agree to disagree on the guidance/actions taken by our State government. You never acknowledge the capacity issue? I did read the articles that you posted and most of them specifically p...

Kids play organized sports almost 52 weeks a year, and we're worried a four week pause is going to affect their physical and mental health? That's not worth responding to. If anything, kids are over-programmed in the modern world. I'll listen when these same parents file lawsuits (like the #letthem...

Mandatory bubble mask with Bauer insert (or other similar brand) and 11 person rosters. I have seen smaller communities play with rosters like this for years (as a bonus nobody complains about ice time). 5 people on the bench at a time should provide adequate spacing and the face shields should hav...

WOM - my point was that we can't point you to a study or data that says hockey is safe during a pandemic. No study has been conducted. So instead, I ask for decisions to be made based on relative danger compared to other activities in society. And certainly relative to the dangers that a shut-down ...

You must have only read one of your posts instead of all 3 in succession! Keep bashing the same topics/points in each of your replies, it really makes people want to read each and every one! Face...actually, yes, the 5 minutes I referenced was only in relation to the most recent post. Isn’t that ho...

The problem is, none of those on the “it’s no big deal”/“just open it up”/“kids hardly ever have bad outcomes or die from this” side of the debate ever acknowledge or are willing/able to provide real facts from legitimate experts to support their positions/opinions. I’ve said a number of times now ...

I will 2nd that motion, no more WOM novels. First, I didn’t realize that five paragraphs constituted a “novel”. :roll: Next, I usually reread my posts before I hit send and the last one literally took me 5 minutes to read. And no, I’m not a speed reader. So, if spending 5 minutes to read something ...

When I was 8, my friends at school told me there was no such thing as Santa Claus My parents told me they were just lying The Facts were: I saw him at the mall and on Christmas day there were a bunch of presents lying around the fireplace So there must be a Santa Claus right? For the love of god ca...

Here’s a follow on post to the last one from the same thread in the same forum. Just throwing out some more facts regarding where we are at in the upper Midwest/northern plains regarding Covid spread/deaths (since so many are only worried about deaths), along with some saying it’s “just a bad flu” l...

Here’s another post from a different forum about the difference in deaths between flu and COVID in South Dakota.... Originally posted by Swansong View Post The CDC lumps flu and pneumonia together and those hover in the upper 100s/lower 200s. However, the state DPH itemizes: https://doh.sd.gov/docum...

WOM, IN DETAIL, for every single article you refer to, there are articles from medical experts that counter every detail! Your not worth my time. In fact, I quit reading all your "government knows whats best for you" rants months ago. You, single handedly, are the reason I rarely visit th...

While any death is tragic, the fact is 80% of deaths are occurring in those that are older than the average life expectancy in MN. This is an average!!!! For those that don't understand averages, to get an average life expectancy of 77 in MN,for evey person that dies at the age of 89, someone at th...

WOM - I agree with the statement that you’ve made once again... “the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one...” The problem is, that’s not what is happening. The needs of the vast majority of people are being ignored (e.g., the need to earn a living in order to support their fa...

7Times...I'm not stating that the college kids are making any better decisions than the high school kids. You're exactly right. There's a DI team in our state that in the last two weeks had 12-15 kids positive. The difference is, they are tested literally three times every week. So, we know when the...
