What's up with the locked post?

A Grand Rapids fan makes a post pointing out some very questionable calls and non-calls in last night's game and he's immediately locked?????

Are these the same monitors that let the Heist at Braemer post go on for 5 pages or was there a shift change?

Can public schools also raise significant money from donors? Sure So we are in agreement that public schools have more avenues of revenue generation available to them? And are the only ones that can do so from unwilling people? Cool. As I said before, I agree that public schools can raise more mone...

Re: USAH Mandating Half-Ice for Mites next year?

I've heard from several people recently that USAH is forcing all Mite Games to be half-ice next year. Does anyone know if this is true and also what are your thoughts on it?

He moves up to Squirts next year so we need clarification on the Participation Rule. His parents were divorced after he started playing h...
