Sorry fellas, beg to differ on this one. I could care less about how I 'look' in these games, money not the object. I do think that these games are (1) a good training ground for learning to use judgement on calls, and (2)an opportunity to get in rhythym for the upcoming season. All of us don't have the opportunity to work games in the summer, and I don't want my first HS game of the season to be my first game of the season as well.
