Bits And Pieces From Our Readers
What a lovely spread on Wonderfun, thank you!
Yes, one of the very positive things, as you relay, about the organization is that it gets back to the basics: Kids having fun and learning new skills. There is no pressure because the team encourages participation of players in all levels of skill. There is no tolerance for lack of acceptance, but frankly, I have never seen a problem within the league; which is wonderful!
There was one little girl, for example, who began at the start of the season holding on to the sides of the rink boards and by game season end, you would not have been able to distinguish her from the team-mates!
There are a few rules for players to abide by, such as, those who are particularly skillful can score up to 4 goals, but after that, they must pass the puck to allow peers opportunity to be successful. Kudos to all the coaches and parents who give freely of their time each year to make this a success for the kids. : )

Thanks Oren, that means a lot coming from you. (Oren and I worked together in the newspaper industry for many years going all the way back to the mid 1960s.)

I am happy to report that I am the 250,100th viewer of your blog! I was trying to hit the quarter million mark right on the nose but I missed. Congratulations for putting out such an entertaining site. I enjoy reading it even though I live in London, Ontario. Keep up the good work and all the best!

Hey Sinc,
Congratulations on the 250,000th hit on the website. Who'da thunk it when you came up with this idea that it would be such a success. It's how I start almost every morning, when I miss a day I catch up the next. Keep up the great work.
