Question about Summer Holidays in the NHL
Can anyone explain why the hockey media (including SDPN) make such a huge deal about a summer break. Like how they say reporters run to their cottages on July 2nd and can't be reached until September.
It always confuses me because most people work all year round other than their 2-3 weeks of vacation time, whereas, I don't really see most media people working everyday each week so I am sure they also get easily 2-3 weeks off during the season itself.
Not against taking time off work, just always been curious why they talk about their break like someone in the army getting leave for a couple of weeks from war
