I think it would be safe to say now that most of the hockey in Australia has ended for the season but in some cases it hasn’t. I am not sure why, but the rink that I play at continues to have a Summer Season. And while this is good to have during the summer and get out of the hot weather, why is there not an off-season?? Off-seasons are a place to relax, workout, get stronger, better, faster ready for next season, right? Well, here not many people believe that off-ice training is worth it, nor do they have to do it to get better, they just assume that because they play ice hockey, they are really good at it when really, they don’t even watch the NHL so they don’t know what good is.
While it is good to keep playing the sport that I love during the summer and some of the blue tongues do come and play which is even better, but we all need a break sometimes.
It is good that during our “off-season” the NHL starts back up and when the winter season starts the AIHL starts also. So its hockey ALL year round which is exactly the way I like it.
