I agree. The Stanley Cup parade should end at the arena where the players go in an begin training camp.
Coming from someone who doesn't enjoy baseball (I have tried many times and just cannot get in to it).
I really miss football and hockey haha. We need shorter offseasons.

This is a great time to study and get ready for your drafts.. Grab a few cold one's, go out on the deck, or head to the park and start your rankings!!
Football is a few weeks away!!
Zorro says "vote for Dobber"
Angus is my best friend at dobberhockey..
Yeah - it feels like it's been a long, long, l-o-n-g time since we've had hockey... especially fantasy hockey.
Fortunately, down here in Atlanta... College Football is only two weekends away and it is HUGE!!!
Everybody gets together on Saturdays with their game day stuff.
It's a beautiful, beautiful bridge until hockey season.
This summer I got into the five Game of Thrones site... I can't even imagine how stir-crazy I'd be without those books & DobberHockey to visit.
ra - Our fantasy football league will probably draft in two weeks!
Somethin' to tide ya over!!

Personally I don't mind the break from football and hockey. I enjoy watching baseball (although the wife hates it) so the summer break is nice.
I do find that once September starts up, so does my hockey excitement.

Dog days of summer for a reason.
Hockey Pools? Too many to mention. Points only, salary cap and dynasty.
I have been in sports withdrawal ever since the Tour de France was over. If it wasn't for auto racing, I don't know what I'd watch on the weekends. Baseball does little for me and I am finding it hard to care about the NFL. I've gone through most of Netflix as well. The Premier League starts this weekend- maybe I'll see if I can get into that.
But yeah- I miss hockey A LOT.

I miss hockey too!
I'm not a big football fan.
Don't care for baseball too much.
Hate basketball.
Blashphemous!.....I actually like NFL football more than any sport, including hockey. Don't get me wrong, I'm Canadian and a hockey nut. But I love NFL football. its a 1-1A situation haha
Miss it too... but for me it all pans out.
Just as my Jays start to tank...ruining all hopes and dreams I have for reliving '92 and '93 ... Football kicks in. That takes my mind off my addiction to Hockey and related fantasy league for a couple weeks then BAM...Hockey starts. I get to watch my Saints dominate through to the playoffs... and really it's a crap shoot what happens in NFL playoffs... then when my Saints bow out... I still have my Leafs to pull me through the cold dreaded winter... until which time they find a NEW record (negative) to break shattering my heart... but what's that??? The snow is melting and buds are on the branches and so are my Blue Jays spreading their wings for another season.
and on... and on... and on...
Oy!
Next week is 3rd week of preseason. That's a great time to celebrate the locking down of our draft lists and draft seasons upcoming!
