Sorry but invalid example due to masses of previous experience of BNL hockey and besides the fact that he's far from being a junior LOL sorry spud it was a tongue in cheek response to "greatest ever British player" Ah sorry, I didn't clock on to that one.

I'm not sure it's any different in England. But when I was 17 and wanted to sign up for hockey, I was told it's non-contact until ENL due to insurance reasons. But maybe I was fed a load of c*** by someone lol. I'm sure you were mate. The Conference finals in Hull have always been physical from 15s upwards (although the 13s that play up sometimes get a bit physical aswell) Fair enough. The closest i've come to a junior game was watching the Phoenix U10s have a little skate during period intermission lol.

Actually, last years Junior final I'd say the arena was about 80% full, biggest crowd i've seen at the "warm up" game for a long time. Of course, the season previous had been the "Hand Shake Cuddle Session" which may have helped Anyway, quicker you get to your seat, the quicker you can get to the beer vendors walking round ;D ;D

If it's anything like last year, the beer only stopped flowing sometime after 5am anyway so there was absolutely no chance in hell of being up, ready and sober for the junior finals lol.

It is fair to say I was a little bit fluffy by the end of Sunday, we opted to stay Sunday night too last time round, which was a blessing when the winners party kicked off in Crosby's lol.
What a night :-)

True that. My team are usually sat right above Crosby's bar though, so it's easier to run down to the bar during a break in play than it is to wait until period break and try to battle your way to a beer vendor.
