| Waterford Township's resolution to fixing the lights |
The inevitable of losing our precious hockey lights has occurred once again. But this time, the conflict of never playing under the Waterford Gardens lights is a grim reality.
As shown in the photo above, the Township went to the extent of constructing an elaborate sign, which explains their stance on the lights. To make matters worse the sign has been bolted in the place of the button, which turned the lighting fixture on.
Blame can be put on Mr. Magoo for being the idiot who unscrewed the button in the first place, but the Township is the real enemy here. Instead of fixing the problem, their answer is "Lets build a sign and send a message to those hockey punks we've taken the lights away"
Vandalism? We're the only ones who fix the rink, when other non-hockey people break the boards. When was the last time you saw a township worker fixing the rink? How can they put the blame on us for vandalism? If it wasn't for us playing hockey there, it would be a horrific sight at the Waterford park facility.
How many times, have I scene broken beer bottles, marijuana dime bags, trash, and other nonsense there. Their logic of taking away a positive structure in our society, and not doing a thing, is rather ignorant and nonsensical.
Would they take away the football lights if somebody vandalize the football field? Plus, the lights acted as security for the park at night. Now, anybody can go to the park at night time, and do illegal activities at their discretion.
In the past a few of us went to meetings to get our lights back on in 2008. It took us about a year and half to just get those lights back on. So the time has come again to fight and let our voices be heard. But as in the past we had very few willing to help the fight. I'm looking at you Coldplay

If anybody knows somebody on the township committee, forward me their email address or phone number. I'm going to try to contact somebody and write a letter about the situation.
At this moment we can only play during the daytime hours, so with the advent of Daylight Savings time today we can get back to our roots. The introductions of "After School Specials" at 4:30pm throughout the week will start this Tuesday.
Bring your hockey equipment with you to work or school and stop by the Waterford Gardens at 430pm on Tuesday. They might be able to take away our lights, but they can never take away our hockey!
