Yeah the hockey is suprisingly good here, some great ice outside of BAH. The bangkok tourny was a blast.
The duty rigs over here are much better than Canada. At least in GF 17 hour days aren't legal..there are a few 12 hour + ones, but overall the rosters are alot better that way. Takes some getting used to only 8 days off a month though...lot less than Canada, howver we get 2 months vacation here so it balances out. Also the flight time limits are lower, UAE is creeping up but still no one has 1200 hours/year yet here. It's really embarrassing to see just how bad the duty rules are in Canada once you see the EU stuff, with the exception of Italy of course.
