As in La Balle Hockey which is a no-no in Dollard-des-Ormeaux, a West Island suburb of Montreal.
CJAD reports that "Earlier this month, David Sasson was fined $75 for taking playing road hockey with his seven-year-old son and his young friends. Evidently, a neighbour found the sight and sounds of kids playing street hockey offensive. Instead of turning the other cheek, that person called the city to complain about the noise and the traffic disruption."
Dollard-des-Ormeaux director general Jack Benzaquen says the municipality had to respond to the complaint because, well, the law is the law. “The patroller was caught in a situation where he was damned if does something, damned if he doesn’t do something," Mr. Benzaquen said. Meanwhile, the district’s worrywart councillor, Mickey Guttman, says the bylaw is there for security reasons. “God forbid an accident happens.” Guttman says.
I think he knows my mom.
"God forbid an accident happens."
Mr. Sasson says that he is going to fight the ticket in court.
Say it loud and say it proud: “My Canada includes street hockey."
