Thursday strip (or Friday or whenever CG doesn't conk out) will be last strip of Game Misconduct: Season 2. Almost 11 months finally reached to it. Mis-timed everything and execution was poor. As for season 3 I have no idea when tenative date for it. Need to get everything organized on what's on horizon for next season. Might expect a few clutter of offseason strips along with junk commentary.
Meanwhile I need go watch some baseball and recharge.

Y'know what? I don't hate this, and I've never played Hockey IN MY LIFE or even watched it on TV.
I think one of your strengths is NOT your artistic skill (which has evolved from pencil to MSPAINT
) but from the energy and passion your put into your sport and your comic.(I do my research.) I note the energy and enthusiasm in which you write can often sound just like a sports commentator or like the bravado of Mighty Ducks, which works in your favour. On that part, you inspire me.

Hooo-wah!
On the downsides. Your art isn't immediately appealing. It's your writing, which is a pro/con at the same time. I'm loath to start lecturing on art, as you have your style firmly in check and will progress BUT!
I'm not sure if you're able to get the fast-pace of the sport conveyed well. It does feel a little static or like ping pong in this example:

Try splitting a scene and have each panal with a person PREPARING to hit a puck or just after they've got it? You've done it before with your "roster training" comics. Then ping pong-panal placement instead!
(I know I'm going to be forced to draw that).
Also, your site doesn't really scream "cool" when I visit. The background hockey rink tiles at 1024*768 resolution and higher, which is ugly as hell. Also, you haven't got a previous button, as well, as your logo looks really ugly! It just has to be said I'm afraid. None the less, minmalism works on the ice, so at least you're working on a theme subconsciously.
It starts fluffy, but gets really good once you dive in. Looking forward to the season 3 recap!
(Yes I know you're on 2).
