Quite a few in the notekeu wouldn’t be paying anything out. A pretty local based league.

According to Tyson Scott and his Kijiji ads Craik doesn't pay.

But with that being said there are plenty of teams in the TRHL that don’t pay. some teams in the Notekeu and White mud also don’t pay. Probably some bottom Sask west, Sask prairie and wheat land teams that pay very very little or nothing at all. Also doubt many if any guys in the cross roads are getting paid. |

This is such a never ending conversation. Even when teams say they don’t pay anyone, they likely are. I’ve played on teams in the lower calibre leagues and those teams say they weren’t paying anyone but know for a fact some players were getting some cash. Senior hockey teams lie just as much as my wife.

Senior hockey teams lie just as much as my wife. I can confirm that senior teams lie just as much as your wife……………… and mine. Played on a very crappy team. The next season we had 4 top players from other teams around the league on our roster. myself and another guy were promised gas. We didn’t receive anything. Coach insisted no one was getting paid as the team wasn’t making any money yet, but did admit that him and the manager did get those 4 players jobs. The last game of the season, we were having a team party in the dressing room after the game. Myself and others saw the manager handing one of those four players a wad of cash. And shortly after giving the worst player on the team 50 for gas. They lost pretty much all of the locals the next season, including myself(was travelling from U of R to hometown to play). However they then went on to buy more players and win multiple championships in a row with their stacked team. |

Pay me my gas and I’ll tell you. |

This is something I've thought about a fair bit both as a local non elite player and now also as a community member of a town whose rink sits empty all winter.
As a player I never felt I warranted pay nor did I begrudge teammates we gave 'sticks and gas' to. I viewed it as a way to better our team, stay competitive and also a chance to play with some guys who played some good hockey. Us locals put the majority of the time and effort into the fundraising, but that's where we made our biggest contribution to the team. However, this was with 3/4 of the team being local, and 3 or 4 guys getting some incentive to come play with us. Had the ratio been flipped, I don't think i would have had the interest.
Now as a community member who runs a business here I don't think it would matter the ratio to me. If I was asked to throw a few thousand bucks towards 'advertising ' and support a team of 3/4 imports I would in a heart beat. No sr team sucks, and double bonus to having a business tax write off.
I'm not sure what my final point is here but I just think there's different perspectives to look at this and I don't think it should be looked down upon as much as it seems to be. Keep your sr teams whatever way possible. That's the most important, not who's on the roster.

Keep your sr teams whatever way possible. That's the most important, not who's on the roster. good post, but your obviously a team player... there are to many guys these days that could care less about "home town" and will either make their hometown pay them to play or go elsewhere to get paid to play. as someone who has played, been part of an exec and coached Sr. its a ton of work and the end goal is still to win. the thing that pisses me off the most are the guys that have no idea about what goes into running a team, the effort and community involvement to make things happen. if you get some good imports that recognize the effort and hard work that goes into it they are the ones that will likely take a little less to help a team out or be there at a fundraiser to support. the end goal is to have a team in the rink... and if you have a garbage team, well sorry but not many folks will come watch, and everyone gets tired of getting pounded.. and the team will eventually die. |

Truthfully the concept of paying locals didn't really even cross my mind. That's a whole new discussion really. Something we never did but we also never had anyone in a position that was good enough to demand that either.
