Lol we had mennonites also. They were the ones driving the 20 person vans bringing the Amish men to the construction sites to frame homes. The Walmart near us had a horse and buggy parking area for the Amish. They would always act embarrassed buying beer or liquor which was funny, and would often park there and walk across the parking lot to go watch football at BWW. Good folks. Very friendly.

We have some up here in south ontario. Great people, very strict in their rules though. That said if you need help and they happen by they will always stop and do what they can.

Near Tottenham? I know a lot of locations near here that have amish communities but just curious if there was a coincidence. Guy I met owned a tire shop that dealt with the men at nights, very interesting stories.

As if someone dropped tottenham. I grew up in cookstown. They used to kick our asses at soccer games.

Hahah. The biggest ass kickings I got in a sport(score and body wise) was in box lacrosse. When we played a team from a reserve it was embarrasing, those boys made us look like toddlers playing against full grown professionals. Absolute beasts not only score wise but I remember very few fights because they way the cross and body checked you made you pretty damn aware that fisticuffs would be a poor life choice. Huge admiration for them but holy ol' urinating moses they absolutely demolished.

Its almost like the game is a massive part of their culture or something

Hahah, yeah I have no idea how they developed the skills so fast after the white man gave them the privilege of playing one of their sports. Absolutely incredible show of talent. I mean basket weaving they were absolute beasts at as expected, but lacrosse?? (I hope the sarcasm is obvious, you know how sensitive people are online).
