Road hockey brought the community together in my neighborhood. We'd have kids of all nationalities playing road hockey in my housing complex . It was so much fun in the early.90s
I'm 37..., I still have great memories of "winning the Stanley cup" on road hockey.... Take that away from kids is absolutely bs... Some of my favourite memories were ball hockey on the streets with the boys
Im also 37 and we had a god damn stanley cup made out of cardboard and tinfoil and i raised that thing many o times up and down the street. Fuck the new world just go play!
Well, Sean, you'll never see ball hockey banned in Alberta. What's up with Toronto these days. I know what it is. it's your new mayor, what a wacko. Let's not forget the pinko's in Toronto that keep voting in Trudeau, so what do you expect.
I’m here in Ontario and today’s youth just don’t play outside anymore anyways. The city built a beautiful park, splash pad and playground down the street and you rarely see it being used. Geez when I was a kid we played on construction materials and equipment if they left it on the street
This started happening in 2010 or so in Nova scotia . The ball hockey community here in Halifax has dwindling numbers for the last decade or more and the city almost seems to have a hate on for it after some pretty controversial closing of venues used for ball hockey indoors and outdoors.
This guy is a beauty. I've played street hockey in the 70s, my son played roller hockey on the streets in the early 2000s, often against a few of the dad's. The best of times. Street hockey needs a resurgence. F THE POLITICIANS.
It was banned in Hamilton in the 50's, then repealed in 2017. I played "illegally" for a good 25 years here and the HPS never gave me any hassles! Someone was charged back in the early 2000's but it was fought and the judge threw it out of court not wanting to set any Canadian precedent!!! There's an article titled "Game on! Road hockey charges dismissed" regarding this incident!
Yeah, it would be cool though. CBC likes losing money pushing their woke agenda. It’s sad, but that’s what happens when you elect that Nancy boy commie Justin
I was on the fence about subscribing and then Sean called Toronto city council communists. I then instantly hit the subscribe button. Preach Sean! Thank you for trying to stand up for the kids against the Marxist takeover of Canada.
Sean is carrying Don Cherry's torch, love it! It's a messed up time for entry level hockey. Kids are softer, moms are Harder, and Dads are stressed out to the max trying to deal with all the changes that are taking place. The kids on the street playing road hockey, or even tag, or hide and seek has been replace with homeless safe injection places and tents. Yes you can thank you Mayor and or council for brainstorming what best for our kids.
Less naturally born Canadians are taking seats in city halls, legislatures and parliament… they don’t have the same passion for hockey and the importance it has on Canadian culture
Omfg. This guy. Legendary status from this day forth. Section f'n eh. Everything he said is true. You haven't lived unless you've played road hockey. Get it together Toronto!!!
I can't even find one recent article claiming street hockey is banned. If it is (which it doesn't seem like it is), I assume it's one of the many unenforced laws to tick off liability when yuppies sue people (i.e. helmet at skatepark, toboggan in parks). Also worth noting I've never had a participation medal in my life, I'm convinced those are a myth.
For the few years of street hockey we had no goalie pads and used an orange baseball. made a goal out of 2x4's and a blanket. Learned a lot about myself and pain tolerance back then. After a while you forget how to cry.
Yes and I felt sorry for the kids on his team that didn’t understand WIN The prize was a pair of the new Reebok Pumps but when they won and had the prize they all understood WIN
Priceless! We would play on the street or on the school rink from like 9 am to like 4 pm with no break until you headed home for supper. Loved it. And nobody really got sick!
Yeah, Titans worked great for street hockey, the blade was pretty much plastic with a thin wood veneer, glided well. Either that or a screw on plastic blade….miss those days
Staple in Our Lives...from heating the plastic Mylec blades to taping up our twigs we used for ice...orange, blue & pink hockey balls fpr all seasons, didnt matter if it was hit and humid or rainy or snowing like Hell, we were out there year round. And in our 20's, graduated to actual competitive ball hockey leagues. Hey Toronto, Piss Off.
Played all my childhood growing up in south jersey near Philly. Best memories ever. Are they kidding??? Btw flyers fan here and always were a big fan of you Sean. Your fn hilarious and a treasure!
Longtime Red Wings fan ( over 50 years) , loved every minute you had a winged wheel on your chest, I still enjoyed your energy when you left Motown and still do. Love the content
I dont know if I have even noticed kids playing street hockey anymore. I grew up playing from sun up to sun down but I never see it anymore. I think due to cost kids are just not interested anymore. After a year of street kids want to play ice usually and it's beyond expensive and it's killing the game. Talk about that!
Damn right, buddy. This fuckin country has been pillaged and feels like people here aren't interested in standing up to it. Sad to see 🇨🇦 like this . We need so much change
Not that you even need street hockey in Toronto. There’s free outdoor rinks all over the place. Play winter on skates, summer on blades or shoes. Yet even still, what the living f*ck!!! Whether we need it or not is not the basis by which we need to judge this. This is f*ckin woke, and if there is one thing that need never rear its head within the haloed cultural institution of hockey in Canada, it is that. This! It’s on this we make a f*cking stand!
Fuck we played a lot on our dead end street but we also loved goong to school's with nicr parking lots . No one wants to playbonnbusy ass roads and shit lke most people find a pretty low traffic area so they can play without interruption
The children unify the neighborhoods, or at least used to. I rarely see kids running/riding bikes around the neighborhood. It not a class thing either. They have disappeared!!
Titan Turbo - Bossy blade. OMG, I could have made the Show if I didn’t break that stick. Dreams were broken along with it. It was magical for those two games. Everything went downhill after that. Discontinued. I couldn’t ever find another one…
"It's ball hockey" or "It's no big deal that the national anthem is being sung in a different language" - Slowly and surely our traditions and values are going to be thrown right out the window. If you can't see that.....May god bless you and I hope you reap what you sow.
Street hockey is too dangerous Sean. A stray shot could injure someone staying in one of the homeless encampments we’ve let take over our city. I preferred Rob Ford on crack to Olivia Chow.
First game in the show , your playing the rangers , wanna find out if Avery is a naughty or nice so you take a run at lunquist and meet shawn’s fist later dah dah dah dah da dahhhh
Toronto is in no way a hockey town. It's all new immigrants, all the fans are from the surrounding cities in Rural communities. It's way over priced now and everyone there in the crowd is more worried about there selfie pics. Yeah Grammer sucks but you get the point

Avery- Beer league is getting too dangerous because people take it too serious.
Avery- Take street hockey serious, break your uncles ankle to win
😂
That's when I get up and cross check my nephew right in the teeth
Well, Sean, you'll never see ball hockey banned in Alberta. What's up with Toronto these days. I know what it is. it's your new mayor, what a wacko. Let's not forget the pinko's in Toronto that keep voting in Trudeau, so what do you expect.
Where is the source? I can’t find proof of this on Google??
The signs have been up for years....We never got any grief from the cops....

Keep it coming Sean! Love the commentary!!
DOOM ON THEM FOR EVEN THINKING ABOUT THIS! STREET HOCKEY IS FOREVER!
That may fly out there in liberal Toronto, but here out west where the real players are will never ban hockey of any kind
This guy is a beauty.
I've played street hockey in the 70s, my son played roller hockey on the streets in the early 2000s, often against a few of the dad's.
The best of times.
Street hockey needs a resurgence. F THE POLITICIANS.
Ball hockey was some of my favourite childhood memories..
That's an affront to Canadian culture.

You need to be on hockey night in Canada.
They would never hire him, he is not diverse enough for the new agenda.
Yeah, it would be cool though. CBC likes losing money pushing their woke agenda. It’s sad, but that’s what happens when you elect that Nancy boy commie Justin
He'd have to transition for that to ever happen.
HAHAHAHA "they want our kids addicted to fentanyl and be school shooters" is wild. no filter and i love it
I used to take balls off the nose and not in a suss way 😂. I used to have nose bleeds twice a week in the lane .
If Shoresy and Theo Von had a baby, it would be you😂
That is terrifyingly accurate
I immigrated to Toronto at 10 and played ball hockey all winter in the schoolyard for many years.
I was on the fence about subscribing and then Sean called Toronto city council communists. I then instantly hit the subscribe button. Preach Sean! Thank you for trying to stand up for the kids against the Marxist takeover of Canada.
Street hockey is the soul of the sport in Canada.
Canada is not a free country anymore. Rocket Richard is turning over in his grave.
Come to think of it neither are we. Damn we're fuk'd.
Sean is carrying Don Cherry's torch, love it! It's a messed up time for entry level hockey.

Less naturally born Canadians are taking seats in city halls, legislatures and parliament… they don’t have the same passion for hockey and the importance it has on Canadian culture
I grew up playing in street/ball hockey leagues because my family couldn’t afford the prices for the local ice hockey team. What about kids like me?
Omfg. This guy. Legendary status from this day forth. Section f'n eh. Everything he said is true. You haven't lived unless you've played road hockey. Get it together Toronto!!!
Every true red and white blooded Canadian can relate to this rant
God bless street hockey.
I cant find info in this. Any link to a resource?
I can't even find one recent article claiming street hockey is banned. If it is (which it doesn't seem like it is), I assume it's one of the many unenforced laws to tick off liability when yuppies sue people (i.e. helmet at skatepark, toboggan in parks).

Well said! Merry Christmas
“In it to win it like Yzermam!!” Nice Kid Rock reference Avs!! Very slick!!
Playing street hockey is full of life lessons. Teamwork,friendship,manners,and being a good bloody sport win or lose. Tell Toronto council to piss off
For the few years of street hockey we had no goalie pads and used an orange baseball. made a goal out of 2x4's and a blanket. Learned a lot about myself and pain tolerance back then. After a while you forget how to cry.
Avery was a back to back road hockey champion in kitchener.won the Roadbreakers tournament in 91 and repeated in 92😮
Yes and I felt sorry for the kids on his team that didn’t understand WIN The prize was a pair of the new Reebok Pumps but when they won and had the prize they all understood WIN
sweet shoes
Am I missing something, this is old news from 2016? All im seeing are 2016 articles and that the city overturned it lol
it was overturned
I played against you from 96-98 and wasn’t such a fan then….but I’m with you now! 😂😂😂
fitness under attack
Every single cop that enforces this will be held accountable and responsible. I’m DONE with the boomer slogan “I’m just doing my job”
Priceless! We would play on the street or on the school rink from like 9 am to like 4 pm with no break until you headed home for supper. Loved it. And nobody really got sick!
Only played one season of ice hockey but i played a full hockey career out on the streets
Bring back street hockey .
I’m starting a spring league in Scarborough, Ontario
Literally LOL’d! Couldn’t have said it better. 🤣
Yeah, Titans worked great for street hockey, the blade was pretty much plastic with a thin wood veneer, glided well. Either that or a screw on plastic blade….miss those days
We use to shovel the road just to play road hockey. Way before the plow came.
Staple in Our Lives...from heating the plastic Mylec blades to taping up our twigs we used for ice...orange, blue & pink hockey balls fpr all seasons, didnt matter if it was hit and humid or rainy or snowing like Hell, we were out there year round. And in our 20's, graduated to actual competitive ball hockey leagues. Hey Toronto, Piss Off.
Street hockey was our jam in the early 90's so cal. It was the first thing I ever loved!
That was my childhood, outside with my white roller skates and kings jersey pretending i was in the show.
Ball Hockey, so many fond memories form childhood. This new rule is nuts.
if you can't destroy your friends into a snowbank, is it even worth being a kid in canada
Played all my childhood growing up in south jersey near Philly. Best memories ever. Are they kidding???
Btw flyers fan here and always were a big fan of you Sean. Your fn hilarious and a treasure!

You just keep getting better and better 😎
Toronto is a 15 Minute City. This is just the start.
Avery always looking thru that smoke
Dude made my ass almost emotinal ,get them sean !
Sean Avery...ultimate GOOF!
Remove city councillors who even look at tabling this garbage
Lol Avery is hilarious

This! It’s on this we make a f*cking stand!
When we were'nt eating or sleeping we were playing street hockey. Everyday, everyday. Yes Sean Santa is coming to town and he ain't happy.
Dude. Spot on.
Yup....he is dead on...what a joke...where did our country go???
It was stolen in broad daylight while most Canadians were watching Sportsball...
Let the kids play!!
Born and raised in Toronto straight after school we played street/ ball hockey. Sadly our city of Toronto has turned in to a left wing woke society.
everyone start playing street hockey!!! now that's a protest LFG
Fuck we played a lot on our dead end street but we also loved goong to school's with nicr parking lots . No one wants to playbonnbusy ass roads and shit lke most people find a pretty low traffic area so they can play without interruption
These laws that erode traditional culture happen in left-leaning cities.
Did Avery just say to play by a Code?
The children unify the neighborhoods, or at least used to. I rarely see kids running/riding bikes around the neighborhood. It not a class thing either. They have disappeared!!
more rambling i see..
creative.
Pretending to b Felix potvin was the best
Preach!!! 🙌
Titan Turbo - Bossy blade. OMG, I could have made the Show if I didn’t break that stick. Dreams were broken along with it. It was magical for those two games. Everything went downhill after that.
Discontinued. I couldn’t ever find another one…
Frozen tennis ball off the ankle…
I'll give you 400k reasons (people) why this is happening. By 2024 it's gonna be almost 1 million extra people in Canada
"It's ball hockey" or "It's no big deal that the national anthem is being sung in a different language" - Slowly and surely our traditions and values are going to be thrown right out the window. If you can't see that.....May god bless you and I hope you reap what you sow.
Damm right. Next goal wins!!
Insane.
Great opportunity for some Boston kids to rise up.
Shout out Billings field tennis courts!
Conmect those dots!
You can openly do drugs in the street but dont you dare play hockey
That open boarder is getting to us all I see your dressing like a cholo 😂
They haven’t banned street hockey?
Legend!
Bud Canada’s national game is lacrosse
Not sure why anyone would wanna live in Canada. Even the Canadian players drafted hope they land in the U.S.
nobody these days lives by a code
Holdup. This was in 2016 and the law never passed !? Avery where you getting your news lol
Craziness. Makes me want to go play hockey in that shithole Toronto
Toronto is banning street hockey? Why? Is this a chow law?
Street hockey is too dangerous Sean. A stray shot could injure someone staying in one of the homeless encampments we’ve let take over our city. I preferred Rob Ford on crack to Olivia Chow.
Chow has been in office 6 months. There have been homeless people for all 35 years I've lived here, so stfu
Amen brother!!!! Koho 221!!
First game in the show , your playing the rangers , wanna find out if Avery is a naughty or nice so you take a run at lunquist and meet shawn’s fist later dah dah dah dah da dahhhh
So let's get this straight, pro Palestinian rallies and eco marches blocking traffic are ok, but kids playing is verboten. Typical.
They play cricket in the streets now. Get with the times bigot, this is the new Canada
Yup!!!
Toronto is in no way a hockey town. It's all new immigrants, all the fans are from the surrounding cities in Rural communities. It's way over priced now and everyone there in the crowd is more worried about there selfie pics. Yeah Grammer sucks but you get the point
