#AsktheBouch: Novice league

With the current meta in the VHL being that of no passing I was wondering what the games actually must look like from a fans perspective. Okay, Much like what I think I am about to compare the VHL games too; I am sure that we must only have our own family in the stands like at a Novice hockey game. You know what I am talking about?

 

If not let me explain; I think majority of us have gone to a novice hockey game where everyone is standing up shouting at player be it your son, your brother or anyone on the team that you are cheering for to simple pass the puck due to another player being further a head or open in the slot. The VHL sadly gives me this feeling currently with the no passing meta. All the fans (parents) standing up yelling; “Pass the puck Tom!! Pass the puck!!” Then when Dominic scores everyone looks at each other then goes; “Well, That worked!! LOL!! Do it again Tom!!”

 

 

Okay, So if you cannot visualize a novice game then how about a game of rugby or the Mighty Ducks movie; where the player with the best shot (Russ Tyler - Knuckle Puck) has everyone clear the way using the flying V so that he has the time and space to shot the puck and score as the goalies dive out of the way.

 

Rugby would be more the player with the puck comes out of the ruck like a Hooker and skates the puck as fast as he can in a straight line at the goaltender either driving himself and the puck into the net or at least clearing the goaltender out of the crease so that his team mates can pot the rebound into the now empty net. Yeah, an assist is given for taking out the tender.
