DKM Presents: Pond Hockey 2013

Well, it's been a while since there's been an official DKM post.  Tom over at DBJ has robbed the most handsome, skillful, and brightest of contributors here at DKM.  Content Director John Kemp has been in and out of rehab to treat his addiction to network television shows stored on his DVR - which pretty much means he's been unable to contribute here.  But luckily, the arrival of winter brings something magical.  Something special.  And that something is Pond Hockey.  For the past 4 or 5 years a core group of us have been making a trek out-of-state for a weekend of racous pond hockey action. 

Sure we all have our backyard rinks, but the wives, kids, and neighbors peer through windows with judgmental eyes.  We travel north, far away from the three-balled oppression of Ohio to a place where hockey is woven into the fabric of the people and their culture.  While there, we play games of 2-on-2 shinny, hockey puck curling, and the ever inspired games of W-H-O-R-E-S (it's like a game of HORSE or PIG, just more inappropriate and played on the ice.)

Since the likelihood of there being any NHL hockey this year slips with each passing day, we at Distinct Kicking Motion will be providing an all access pass to that magical weekend's festivities.  There will be Podcasts, special guests, and copious amounts of libations.  DKM will have you covered bringing you all the beer soaked action in the comfort of your living room.   What are these weekends like? Well, see for yourself.  Enjoy and stay tuned...

 

Hockey Haiku Tuesday

The long forgotten DKM favorite returns just in time for election season here in the US.

Lockout coming soon
Owners have learned nothing new
Players make too much

As clever as we may seem to be, we at DKM would never make a comparison to the Toronto Maple Leafs being the NHL's "One Percenters."  How dare we assume that since they make so much money that they should share it with the less fortunate teams in the league.  It's also worth noting while those in the hockey world poke fun at the Blue Jacket's naming origins, ask a Leaf's fan why it's not spelled "Leaves."  Clearly, obscure military references aren't singular to the Blue Jackets.

Someone in Washington hopes you don't understand corporate tax, capital gains, and the current NHL revenue sharing program.
