Ball hockey UK southeast conference playoff final between the London Jets and the London Czechoslovakians A can be viewed on facebook - https://www.facebook.com/bhuksec/videos ... 049159506/
your man is number 18 white, notable moments in recording:

- 4:45ish, off-screen with the ball in the opposite corner we get called for too many men by one of the hapless referees who I'm sure get paid nothing and have never played or maybe watched hockey but this was an absolutely insane call, I was like 4 feet from the bench when the other guy stepped on the floor. in the semi-final this psychopath called Poki on London Czechoslovakians B was taking Sam Bennett runs at me late in the game like laying full on hits and these refs were too chickenshit to call anything because I guess they understand that a lot of these Slovak guys are psychopaths? but anyway the fact that they will get the ruler out for too many men penalties and whistle down faceoff violations but let targeted violence go is frustrating and also consistent with how the game is refereed at the highest levels. so maybe they do watch hockey.

- 13:40ish, my nemesis, number 24 white, slovak guy called Maros, changes for the first time in the game. I avoided every gameday this season where he was playing except this one because we only had 6 players and I figured he would at least get tired but if you care to watch a few minutes you will recognise that he just kind freestyles and sulks and looks for one-time passes. without any hesitation I can call him the worst teammate I have ever played with. I was losing my shit with him and people on my team were telling me to let it go, nothing you can do about it, I kept thinking like there are absolutely things I can do about this gigantic asshole spitting in my face including just repeatedly challenging him to change. there are two teams composed of Slovaks and I assume that he is welcome on neither of them and somehow he now plays on 'my' team and brings his buddies and never leaves the playing surface.

- 14:05ish, good look for yours truly in the slot, coincidence surely that it came after our superstar took his first break. it's hard to follow a shot of this velocity on this quality of stream but the goalie got an arm on it. somehow.

- 20:25, me doing all the work on the goal scored by deplorable teammate but it should have been called offside by the 'floating blueline' which I thought I'd crossed with the ball but didn't.

- 22:50 London Czech GWG on some weird dzone coverage, no minus for me.

Within seconds of the opening faceoff I realized that I do not understand the rules or strategy of ball hockey whatsoever

[practice]

the 'bluelines' are treated as ice hockey bluelines until you cross them with or behind the puck and then they disappear and the red/halfway line is the 'blueline' until the ball gets cleared past it.
