I love the idea. LOVE IT!!

We can still have an 7-8 month "summer season" just as it is now in reverse.
Start in March/April and end in October.

Have Nov,Dec, Jan, and Feb to "stay in shape" take vacations to warm places etc...
We already take off most of December and January as it stands now.

And you can still have no games on long weekends.
As there are at least 3 to 5 games in the winter that is postponed cause of weather.
WE can have 3-4 preset weekends (long weekends) that there are no games.
So you can still have your summer get aways. etc...
Or just set up an exhibtion that weekend if the players are around.
Or a club party/fundraiser
Or an intersquad/club game with a big fundraiser party after.

At least you will know in advance when games will not be played, and can plan life/club events.

Not like now, as its week to week, and then most teams are still idle for 3 weeks waiting for others to finish the season before Provincial Cup games start. There is no flow or consistency in the season.

Also, there would be no excuse of missing all your University/College players in the first 3 months of the season when you get in 12 games..... (over half the season)

Also... (LOVE IT)
We actually might get some more fan support as it won't be 3 degrees, pissing rain sideways!

Imagine the friends and fam that will come out on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, or Friday night game.

It will definately help promote the game in so many ways.. and support from folks is one we don't even think of much.

I am totally infatuated with this idea.
Take your vacation in November or January. When you actually want to get away from the wonderful winter weather.

LION for LOVING it.
