I played hockey right up to Junior level. Minor hockey has its own issues for sure but once you leave minor and go into junior where parents aren’t paying fees it was toxic as hell. There was some great guys I played hockey with, made some great friendships there, but there were some absolutely awful human beings as well and they are tolerated way more than in general society. It comes from an old school culture among coaches right up to the owners of the teams. (excluding the trainers. they were almost always respectful people)

I bought a Pentium 75 in 1995. It had a 1GB hdd and 16MB of ram with Windows 3.11 and 28.8k modem. It cost me $5000. In 1995 dollars that’s $9,977.92 which seems insane.

All I can do is act with ethics and integrity. The rest is their god-damned problem. I can’t say I have ever been harassed at the door though. Maybe this was just one security guard going overboard.
