The Stiffs

Just getting ready to go play some shinny with Dave McCarthy out in Burlington ....yeah abit of a drive , that is not the problem . Dave organized this skate for his family and friends that were all egging him on to organize ice time . Well he did , and was not considering Toronto folk or our teammates when booking way out there . The problem is that most of the people that were bugging him to organize this are not coming now ......this means 2 goalies and 5 skaters and i begged everyone i know to come , but it is far !

Most of you don't realize that when you ask someone to organize something and they do ,and you don't go that you are a stiff ! It is kinda like going to a restaurant ordering food , leaving before it arrives and having your friend pay for the uneaten meal . That would suck wouldn't it ? yeah it would so why stiff out on someone that is organizing something for you ? See i support the people i know ( as much as i can ) so when Dave told me it was only a few people i did not say , well you know maybe it is not worth it ....i said see you in the morning lets have fun ! Dave is learning a hard lesson in organizing anything to do with hockey .

If you are someone that has said you want to play for my team and bailed out without paying 1 month into the season or even if you did give me a bit of cash ( but not paid for your full spot ) and left , guess what ? You are a STIFF ! I can't even begin to talk about how much money i have lost in the last year due to these umm errr friends(?) , not too sure how someone lives with themselves knowing they have put their word on the line to get onto a team and in the end stiffed me . This happens all over the world , i experienced it in Europe, and in Asia .

To the no shows, the no reply guys, and the guys that quit teams without paying for their spots : you all suck ! Happy Holidays goes out to all the guys i know that organize hockey teams , i feel for you all and hope that you all don't lose much money in 2011 . yes much meaning we all lose money , it's a given ! LOL!
