    I'm in no way blaming the construction co. Just saying that I think the court is regulation and that they had to cut the goal platform to fit. The area behind the base line was to short so they had to make modification to the goals. The size of the floor was ok. It's just that the goals they plan to put in was to big........

    I didn't mean to imply that you did. Probably should have quoted Turbines post instead. I think there are plenty of reasons to give Descant a hard time just not in this case.

    Like most arena's these days the goals sit on the wood floor.

    The playing area is regulation but they built the building smaller than the size of the wood floor and had to shorten the floor so now it has less buffer zone.

    My point is if you get used to practicing there -with the wall so close- you shouldn't have a problem diving into crowds during a real game.
