A hockey game is not a field trip. What did they learn?
Did it affect you or your children? People will complain about everything won't they.

Skating rinks and pools are also considered field trips. I don't see the difference.

The children could go in the evening when the Warriors play regularly. This game was aimed at school children during school education time.

Schools often have field trips during the day. Maybe to promote the hockey academy.

Your supporting a business. Skating rinks and pools are very good field trips where they learn certain skills that they will use. Going to a hockey game just to fill seats and promote a business is wrong.

Really, so give all the elementary school children the day off to promote a hockey academy? Is the hockey academy a business also?

Schools have brought in TV for famous games - is that wrong too?

Why didn't they bring in a live feed from the arena then? What games are you talking about?

What difference does a live feed make if they can attend in person?

In my school days we watched the canadian womens team play. It was an awesome break in our day - we got to socialize and have fun. It was a couple hours out of our day. 1 day. You only live once, why should we keep our children from experiencing such things?

Might I add, the women's game was via television.

That wasn't a business being promoted and it was the Canadian national team playing via tv.

Well there you go, nothing new and maybe help promote fitness and get the kids involved in hockey at Mt. Boucherie.

You asked what games Fancy was talking about - I'm giving you an example.
Again, we only live once. Why not give these children an oppurtunity to cheer on LOCAL hero's who may not otherwise have a chance to ATTEND a Warrior's game. Let's not forget there are more than a few - less fortunate families out there who may not see a warrior's game a neccessity or appropriate way to spend their hard earned dollars when they're already having a difficult enough time putting food on the table.
It's about equal oppurtunity. Commradary.
Believe it or not - schools budget out days for 'out of school' activities or field trips. A number of classes head to the pool for a 'fun swims' - nothing more, nothing less. Just fun. Because children still deserve a chance to have fun.
