27 - Eastern Townships Hockey Association.
[email protected]
For some years I have been slightly involved with
the ETHA (Eastern Townships Hockey
Association). They run road hockey leagues around
here, and maybe twice over the years I was on one
of those tournament teams. And registered as sub a
bunch of times for teams that needed one. It
basically boils down to a well organized pickup
games at tennis courts, but with really good
scorekeeping and stats and all that. Which makes
it seem like a bigger deal than it is, but that's
kind of cool. The guy who runs it even posts
results and stuff on the inter net.

Because of the covid, I heard they're going to run
all-Olds games this winter, which isn't as wacky
as it might sound to some. Elfs in particular seem
really into hockey, and some always turned up to
watch and even sub on some games in the past. I
have seen them play on their own, and some of them
are getting really good at it. I never saw
centaurs play, but I don't see why they
couldn't. I don't know about dwarfs, they're kind
of short, but we'll see what happens. It's going
to be fun to watch. Although I am slightly worried
that maybe the Olds will take over the whole ETHA
from here on out, and kick out all us homo-saps
for good. Which would suck, although it seems to
be the way things are turning.
