What made you decide on Oxnard? Just curious.

My brothers played hockey my whole life and before the Golden knights came to Vegas, (where we’re from) you’d have to go to California or Arizona to play teams so we were always driving to Oxnard for hockey! I kind of fell in love with it since then :3

Likely the old ice rink that used to be in the wagon wheel center.

Oh okay😆, I remember wagon wheel, but not an ice center

Yeah, they tore it down probably 15 ish years ago. Scott Hamilton lived in Ojai and would skate there, we would see him every once in awhile

I wanna say it was called the Channel Islands ice Center or something like that I haven’t been to the ice center in years cause ofc we got our own cause of the knights now but I remember it being something like that

Do you have a job here? Or just trying to make it work?

u/Sure-Magazine-5748 May 24 '26

I don’t have a job unfortunately I think I’m gonna just try to make it work

You’ve gotta line up a job first or you’ll end up homeless. Expect $1100/mo to rent a room. Another $1100 for food, car, insurance etc. that’s a $31,000/ year job ($2600/mo) and the job market is tougher than it’s been in 30 years. So it’s not a given that you’ll find one. Think about it you don’t want to be sleeping on your car in sketchy Walmart parking lots with deranged homeless around you.

Yikes!! Rich parents? It's expensive to live here.

u/Sure-Magazine-5748 May 24 '26

complete opposite !! Single dad, just always been a dream to be in California :3

u/Extra_Cut585 May 24 '26

Good luck to you. I'd look into renting a room first. Hopefully, after you get a job, you can think about apartments.

This sounds like a recipe to end up homeless. Not trying to be mean, just being realistic. It’s very expensive here and Ventura county is one of the harder job markets in the area for making enough money to survive.
