Quite a few points you’re wrong about Here and There’ especially comparing round lakes impact to that of Ryan Smyth playing Allan Cup. If you actually knew what you were talking about’ you’d know Smyth’s team, Stoney Plain never made it out of provincials to play in the Allan Cup!

The Round Lake team is more like the Horse Lake Thunder from back in the day.
The idea of an open senior tournament in say like April sounds interesting. Would have to be hosted in Regina or Saskatoon.

Which tourney was it where he got the flying elbow, I could be wrong but I did tune into sr hockey at that moment in my life by from hearing the talks. |

Had to use good old Google they were on there way I see, back than I was working pipeline out that way so I was kinda half in the bag most of the time. But him playing sr was big and everyone tuned in was my point |

Smyth got hurt by the elbow in Alberta Allan Cup provincials. His team never made it to Allan Cup that year.

Honest Q, ive long wondered where these teams are getting all this money from. Hear rumors of guys writing checks for 10s of thousands of $$ for teams like Carlyle and moosomin and Balcarres. Where does teams like RL get the money to fly guys in on a private plane? Or Lumsden paying what has to be close to $4000 per game. That’s one arguement vs this all star team entering provincials, is I’ve always thought these teams rely on the big crowds come provincial time to help pay for the year. No way it can pay for this kind of payroll though. Any actual comments or just speculation chirps? Round lake have been in tournaments over the years. These tournaments are crazy amount for first place usually $20,000. They have been entering and winning or placing in these tournaments for numerous years. Example last year I looked back on which torment they entered and placed, I added it up and the total was $98,000. So they have built up their pot through out the years. I know this team wasn’t built this year, they have been around 6 years. It took some time (years) for them to make money but this year they wanted to make a run. I have never seen another team make a bigger impact on sr hockey since Ryan Smyth playing on a team in the Allan cup many years ago. But returning back to these tournaments I wouldn’t mind seen an open tournament in the future like these native $30,000 first place tournaments. Allowing say Carlyle, balcarres, rostern, Kyle, which ever to enter in. I believe that tournament well bigger than ever and money to be made by the organization that put it on, may need the Brandt Center or Sask place to host. Hopefully that’ll happen in our time, I know I’ll drive and get rooms spend money for an event like that. I know I would put a few hundred on a team in the betting corner. ok, so they've won quite a bit of money, but the unis, payroll, travel all that stuff isn't free... there are a ton of costs involved. guys like King, Campbell and other top end guys will be getting huge money + travel to play. |

So, if you are from a community that had notoriously bad water (I think Craik was on this list in the past) but your senior team was great and was able to pocket $100,000 would you expect the senior team fix the water problem?

How much do you think travel, meals, hotel rooms, and players themselves cost? Some of those teams take 25+ people. That math is not mathing. The idea that anyone other than players actually make money at Indian tournaments is laughable. |

We follow a little hockey but what should criteria be for hockey categories? Concepts: AAA- Wide open with Sask Registered players. AA-15 Imports. A-8 Imports. B-6 imports and population criteria. C-3 imports and population criteria. New: Other (Black Aces)- by Salary Cap. Notes: Concession players are not freebies upon playing 3 years import is import. Worst parity rule ever. Sask Hockey establishes Rankings per seeding. They should just keep A wide open, but bump B to 5 non league imports and 5 league imports, and C at 4 non league imports, and D at the same 3 and 3 |
