The Day and life of a Peterborough Realtor and Selwyn family man. Journal 4

Snow day means 2nd cup of coffee day. We stated the day at 7:00am at hockey practice. Needed the 4x4 to get there this morning. We got home and decided everyone should bunker down for the morning. I worked at my home office for the morning keeping my eye on the weather. I tried to time it from snow to rain. I was able to get my driveway done and loaded the snowblower in the truck to look after Mom and Dads drive.

My 3 leg squirl was busy at the bird feeder today. Susan thought he lost weight. I was wondering did he go from 50 pounds to 45 pounds the robust rodent?

Today is Susan and I 15 year anniversary. Every year I go to McKnights to buy roses for her. This year was no different. I have a good streak going here!

They have the nicest roses.

.

After picking up the roses I stopped by 1411 McAuliffe Lane to flip signs. My favourate part of the job. SOLD!

FAIL of HMHA, OMHA, OFH and Hockey Canada. The letters sent.

Over the weekend I was able to get my hands on the emails that Hespeler Minor Hockey sent to the parents of the suspended 6 and 7 year olds. You can find these letters below.

Here is a few points I want to make. These letters should be professional and they were anything but professional. The letters started nicely, “Hi Chris!” The letter then quickly went bad from there. 

Keep in mind these are extremely heavy suspensions laid on these kids. You could spit in someone’s face, line brawl, head check and never be suspended for a full year, but this was the punishment laid upon 6 and 7 year olds for their actions. Their actions of playing hockey

It was not so much what was in the letter that had me bothered but what was not. Hespeler Minor Hockey who sent this email to the suspended kids parents never quoted what rule was broken, where to find that rule or what section or subsection,  what the rights of the kids are, who made this decision, what proof of the crime other then someone "seen" the child playing and how the punishment was rendered

There is so many wrong things happening here in this story. It all starts off from the Executive at Hespeler Minor Hockey Association, to OMHA to OHF then to Hockey Canada. These organizations better look into this situation now and explain to their membership, which I am part of, what the heck is going on. 

Here is the fails in mission statements in the hockey organizations:

Remember Hockey Canada your mandate: In a positive hockey experience for all participants, in a safe, sportsmanlike environment. In the development of life skills which will benefit participants throughout their lives. In the values of fair play and sportsmanship, including the development of respect for all people by all participants.

Remember Ontario Minor Hockey Accociation: Leaders om Community Sport-Creating better people and stronger communities

The Day and life of a Peterborough Realtor and Selwyn family man. Journal 3

On Friday after work Susan and I decided to go to the cottage for the weekend even though we would not be there much! We arrived and got the heat on which was not a bad thing since the temps were falling quickly this weekend. We settled in for the night and had a few drinks watching the hockey game. This was good and relaxing. Kids even played quietly. I would need it as Saturday I knew was going to be nuts.

Saturday we were up and gone early in the morning. My son had one game in Ennismore and my oldest daughter had a game at Northcrest and a practice in Lakefield. I was also able to squeeze showings in the blanks between ice times. it made for a full day that is for sure.

One of my stops on Saturday morning was at Tim Hortons in Bridgenorth. I could not believe that the parking lot and drive through was practically empty. That said 25 cars pulled in behind me so it did not last long.

After a long day of running all over the place we stopped at the house to check on things before we went to the cottage. We did see some birds around the feeder and a little Dove pressed against the window looking for some warmth.

On Sunday we were back up early in the morning as my daughter had a hockey game back in Ennismore. It snowed over night and I took this shot of Eels Creek before we left Apsley. After the hockey game in Ennismore I ran back to Norwood area for a showing. No shortage of miles!

During Sunday afternoon I worked on two offers on 2 listings that I had in Peterborough. It was nice to have both listings conditionally sold. Congratulations to my sellers!

I went home to referee 3 kids who decided to fight all afternoon. Once I got all that sorted out we had dinner and I watched a terrible Leaf game. Go Leafs Go!
