Welcome Party

Just got up not too long ago ... very hung over , possibly still inebriated . Last night we welcomed all the teams visiting us here in Toronto for my Ghetto Classic Tournament which kicks off tonight . We have teams from Boston , Germany ( Europe ) and Slovakia ( nobody from this team showed up ! ) . It is always a painful process organizing events for any reason . At the least you hope that your own team shows up to help host and welcome teams coming here to play with us , but alas not 1 of mine showed up which leaves me thinking why do i even bother with these guys ?

The tournament was set up to help raise funds for my team but every year i think more and more that i am just doing all the work with no help at all ... why do i do this and then hand over the little money i earn to a bunch of guys that have utterly no respect ? Yeah guys that is how i feel right now ! Why wouldn't anyone come out to help me make them some money .... it doesn't make sense does it .

On the bright side the guys that did show up from the Jokers and Sgt. Rock were awesome and did a great job of being representatives for their teams ! We all had fun with a live band playing some great music at Brooklynn  ... have to thank the guys there for being so awesome to us , with multiple shots and amazingly cheap prices ... can't go wrong with a $4 pint of Heineken :)

I am sure that most organizers have dealt with the pains of being left standing around wondering why these things happen .... i am just not going to stand for this shit .... tonight hopefully the guys on my team come out or else it is very clear that they don't give a fuck . yeah i am kinda pissed off hung over and cranky , so i better shut it down eat some food and clean myself up .

These are the pains for most people that are hockey organizers , if you are reading this and you agree with me then do your best to help your team organizer out .... we really appreciate help , even if you just attend events or have beers after games :) its the little things that make me smile !
