Okay, but if that’s the case, wouldn’t you figure it out after one game? Like, you’re a grown adult, right? You don’t just keep messing it up for 14 straight games and then act shocked when there are consequences.

As a manager I remember when Agelix first got rolled out 3 years ago, and I was stressed trying to make sure I got everything right, that the roster was set up correctly, the players and staff, any suspend players. It was helpful that you could see everything on your computer at home before the game and get it set up. And when you got to the rink they also had the ipads where you could make changes. I remember one game I was having an issue and I was stressed and panicked about it. So I got in touch with my org immediately to get it clarified and they connected with the GTHL to make sure everything was in order, and it was all good within a day or two and working fine. That was my experience when it was brand new 3 years ago, and when I had an issue I wanted to make sure everything was fine so we addressed it immediately. We didn't wait 3 months for another team to identify our issue! and we didn't pretend like it was an impossible to resolve issue because the 3 year old agelix system and the 2 year old trainer at larger policy is so "new". Lmao this isn't even the first year for these things. You guys gotta be more responsible and take care of your own shit.

Kids had nothing to do with it therefore they will face no punishment as it is not just. Trainer will face consequences and so will the organization.

Guest wrote: ↑Tue Feb 18, 2025 1:21 pm The absolutely wild thing about this whole MR story is that the original punishment was 1 game forfeit and a suspension for the coach -- MR actually says that on their new website. Like openly admitting it. That was the G's attempt to let them off the hook -- why on green earth they didn't just take that and run is 100% on the coaches, manager and Rattlers organization. The appeal forced the G's hand because it prompts an investigation. It doesn't matter if it was a mistake or done without any ill will. It was a mistake repeated 16 times, by adults who all should have known better, who signed off on game sheets they knew were not accurate over and over again. Imagine the trouble the G will get itself into down the road if it sets a precedent of letting teams off the hook for having unregistered coaches or players on the bench because someone tries to play dumb or claim it was just a paperwork issue. Imagine if a liability or insurance issue came up and the G had to answer to that trainer not being carded. If the coaches had corrected the error after 5 games the G would have let it go. They tried to let it go and you pushed it! You're not teaching the players anything by crying unfairness and blaming rules and the league errors clearly made at the coaching/manager and org level. The real losers in this are the Panthers who will earn #1 and possibly have to play MR in the playoffs instead of getting a true seeded 8th place team.

If the Rattlers lose, get ready for the usual more excuses, more crying, and probably some dramatic statement about how the kids were “under too much stress to perform.” Can’t wait to see how this one plays out!
