Is there a way how not to play with some players. Because banning and reporting isn't a big game dealer. If the player aren't vocally doing nothing bad, but on the ice is doing penalties,intentional ...

Unfortunately, there isn't a way to avoid those players. The best thing you can do is play drop-in club games instead of the full random, outdoor rink games. Clubs typically play a lot better.

can't agree here more! it's interesting to see the dynamic between the mentality of my opponents (and teammates) in an outdoor rink game vs an indoor club game. They actually use team-play skills as opposed to one-man-army approach of the outdoor rinks.

And I firmly believe that we need a low-stakes option to play pickup games that don't hurt our club records, but allow us to try out new techniques or builds against competition. But i think the 'outdoor rink' will often make people lean towards 'hold my beer' approach which can be frustrating, especially for people who just can't find a club. would it ever be possible to get a Winter Classic outdoor game we can play in drop-in or even club?? i'm sure this has been asked thousands of times, apologies if it's been answered!

to those reading this who've played for years and just can't find quality people, i promise they're out there. join a discord server or lookup subreddits. find community/casual games and you'll hopefully find people you vibe with to club-up!!

Hi there. I don't see this happening with the official Winter Classic. That's licensing we don't have the rights to. I'll pass on the feedback though for a fictional, WoC version of it. Thanks!
