A Men's recreational hockey league was whining about not getting good ice time as compared to Minor Hockey league(s). All the "old timer" men's hockey teams had interesting names, so I just imagined what mascots for such teams might look like.... and then I had them gang up on some little kid. I don't have anything against old timer hockey. In fact I played it for a few years. It was suggested I be a goalie since I couldn't skate too well. And before all the serious goalies out there get all upset, let's be honest... they really don't have to skate as well as the other players... but I'm sure many of them can skate way better than I can. Anyway, I stopped after a few years. I was worn out from all the breakaways and three on ones. There's no such thing as the trap in old timer hockey. What there is a lot of is guys leaning against the boards trying to get their breath and legs back while yet another wave of opposing attackers descends hungrily upon their poor goalie.
