Hockey@lemmy.ca•Would Canadian hockey be better off with its own national league?
6·14 days agoAm Canadian, and absolutely not. As much as I hate murica, having the NHL be in both Canadian and murican cities is better for the game. Even Canadians that aren’t into hockey are at least kind of aware of the big games and big names, same can’t be said for murica. The more people that play the game and have a chance at making the big leagues, the better IMO.
That being said, I have a huge list of grievances with the NHL and I often see the sentiment of “best sport, worst league” among hockey fans and I agree with that completely. Refs are complete and utter trash, so is the department of player safety. The league is, IMO, quite corrupt and needs a top down reform to expel the old boys club from the top echelons of the league.
Hockey Canada itself as an organization is also extremely toxic and relies far too much on the old boys club as well. Just look at the sad state of Canadian goalies lately, we went from Price, Brodeur, Fleury, Luongo, Roy, etc to now having Binnington and Thompson as the Olympics goalies for Canada. Don’t get me wrong they aren’t bad, but it’s a far cry from the prime days of Canada pumping out extremely high quality goalies consistently. Now were average at best, and other countries, including the US (🤮) having much better goalies than us.
There’s also the whole cost thing, hockey has become a rich persons sport. You don’t stand a chance of making it to the big leagues unless you’re either a generational talent like McDavid or Price, or you spend tens of thousands over the years on professional 1 on 1 coaching. I’m 32 and I had to quit playing organized hockey at 14 cause my parents couldn’t afford to pay for the goalie gear and team fees etc and that was back in the mid 2000s. Shits only gotten worse since then.
If Canada wants to retain it’s position as the dominant hockey nation, then there are a lot of hard changes that need to be made. How many future Price’s, Crosby’s and McDavid’s have simply been priced out of the game and will never get the chance to be what they could’ve been?

cats@lemmy.world•Do any of you actually call your cats by their names?
4·22 days agoMy cats name is Chanelle, but I rarely call her that. Her nickname is kitty cat ribs the 2nd, but I usually call her either kitty or ribs. Back story behind the nickname is my best friend had a cat when we were kids, and when he’d annoy him he’d threaten to cook him up like a rack of baby back ribs, so we started calling him kitty cat ribs.
When I was a kid, my best friend had a cat and whenever he annoyed him, he’d threaten to cook him up like a rack of baby back ribs, so his nickname became kitty cat ribs. I have a cat now and her nickname is kitty cat ribs the 2nd, or just ribs for short.
Not sure but it can’t have been more than a few years right?
Right?!?

True story, she got herself tangled up in the bag without anyone’s help cause she’s a little dumbass. Luckily she’s an adorable little dumbass.
I don’t have any pictures of him doing that unfortunately. I take maybe 5 pictures a year at most, really need to start using it more.
I have a dog that was raised with cats and he copies some of the things they do. He licks his paws and cleans his fur the same way a cat does and sometimes when he lays down, he’ll enter dog loaf mode and tuck his little paws underneath him.

Edit: Cat tax since this is a cat comm - Chanelle

If you’re expecting any kind of critical thinking or even the slightest bit of intelligence, then you won’t find it in that sub lmao
It would’ve cost you nothing to keep this to yourself. Sometimes ignorance is bliss, y’know?



Late reply, but thank you! That honestly helps a lot.
