We've all driven through weather we'd rather not to get to minor hockey games. And we know all leagues have policies and protocols for cancelling games due to road conditions. But this house league select situation in North York (Toronto) seems odd and harsh.
As the Toronto Star reports the Ted Reeve team failed to to make it to the first game of a best-of-three playoff series during last Wednesday's snowstorm - the same storm which cause big delays at Pearson International Airport and left my wife without a connecting flight home, but I digress.
The league's harsh answer wasn't to reschedule the game. It wasn't to count the game as a forfeit. It was to deem the Ted Reeve kids as forfeiting the entire series.
Which begs the question: Is minor hockey for kids?
