1trailmaker Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 This is my buddies kids - he has a mini rink, boards, nets, in his basement - tons of fun drinking games - the metal target has a great sound BARRIE -- Nine-year-old Owen Magill and his 11-year-old brother, Simon, spend all their free time either at the rink playing hockey or in their basement shooting pucks. Last year, the hockey-crazy kids came up with an even crazier idea that has since turned into a very successful family business. "We're like, we should make a metal target because these foam ones are horrible, and the plastic rim around them will always break," explained Simon. The two boys took their idea to their dad, Pat. "The boys said to me, 'dad, why don't they make targets like this?'" The simple idea then became a family project. They transformed their two-door garage into a small workshop and got to work designing the 'Boomer Targets.' The Magill's hockey targets are metal and weigh about one-pound each with one-eighth aircraft cables, making each strong enough to take a pounding without breaking. "These targets have seen about 5,000 pucks with no wear or tear. Just some nice puck marks on them," Pat said. One year later, the boys have sold about 150 sets. They have a website and have seen some success in getting their product on the shelves of some local retailers. For Owen and Simon's parents, the experience has been about more than just the game. Pat said the sport his family loves is paying off in so many ways, including teaching his boys about the world of business. "You know, it's a fast-paced market, online, they're building a product, they're helping market it, they're selling the product." The Magill's plan to continue working out of their garage, creating more than just the Boomer Targets, Pat said they are also creating family memories. https://barrie.ctvnews.ca/two-hockey-loving-innisfil-boys-turn-simple-idea-into-empire-1.4749040?fbclid=IwAR2yO1lnlOfX6k17Cf5VGXS7Huo66ybrpFttsI85t1oNmA_QAWb7CpNEJ5c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poncho Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share Posted January 19, 2020 The boys may not make the playoffs. Not looking good. Apparently just ain’t the coach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poncho Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share Posted January 19, 2020 And for the record the new style coach may need to call out one of the special kid millionaires......maybe he can ask politely that they actually do what they are paid millions for. Play hockey. Pathetic effort by these kids. But heaven forbid we offend one of them, the coach might end up in prison. We need a major trade and change......again. Sad place we are in 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1trailmaker Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 They will be welcoming two former teammates of Jake Muzzin’s from the Los Angeles Kings, goaltender Jack Campbell and left-winger Kyle Clifford. I hope a new goalie gives the spark needed, make the saves needed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poncho Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 Sidney is killing the Leafs again....as are every other team. Worst thing that could happen to the Leafs is they make the playoffs. Dumass is next on the list to go....old Babcock is laughing all the way to the bank... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
