Mississauga has observed the ban since 1979. It was amended in 2010 to also include the prohibition of sporting equipment, like hockey and basketball nets, on the roadway.

They rejected a removal of the ban. Carbrains have banned it 40 years ago.

Yeah, that is the wildest part to me. There's now adults with the ability to vote, who've had their childhood affected by this ban. And somehow, they still didn't throw it out with a huge majority.

Many of them may have never even experienced playing street hockey or a similar activity so they genuinely don't know what was taken away from them.
