The only kids that should be concerned about contact are those that skate with their head down. Plenty of those on almost every team.

And those kids will get smoked and hurt with clean checks and the kids that hits them with a clean hit will be suspended. I blame the parents for subjecting their kids to that.

You are blaming the parents for kids skating with their heads down?

ML did you get your little to wear his Toronto Elite gear at tryouts? Isn't it getting small on him? Got you it makes look bigger. Does that look help him look better at playing hockey? TR is in for a surprise.

Simple minded comment. Anyone who's been through this before knows that there is an adjustment period for all the kids. If kids are getting rocked on March/April because they are playing with their head down then you will have a fair comment but October? Nah, give them a pass. No matter how prepared you think your kid is, they arent.

The East loop is going to be weakened. I have been to West and East team skates and the West looks far superior. Even the West's weak teams are good. The new Avalanche would be 3rd or 4th in the East
LF
SYB
TR
FH
SIR
NT
EE
MI
NYK
The East is going to have 3 good teams that dominate, the 3 average teams and three really bad teams

No way SIR will be mid pack - they look way worse than this past season and not a good turnout at their first tryout.

Just remember Matt or Shannon ML didn't hide behind a screen. He said what everybody knew including you and you couldn't take it. So you created some excuse to ban him and tried to bully him and his kid online. We know the truth and you are lucky he isn't airing it. For the record he told me he hopes you guys have a great season and likes your pick ups. seems like a real asshole

Let’s be honest—ML frequently sat at his computer, using the this website as a platform to regularly criticize the coach, the team, and the manager.

Has Mr. "Stand-Up Hockey Dad" shared with you how he chose to express what he believed were the sentiments of everyone involved? During an out-of-town tournament, after consuming a significant amount of alcohol, he approached the coach and initiated a conversation that quickly escalated into an alcohol-fueled tirade about the coach’s abilities.

As we all know, ML was a coach many years ago, and he seems to believe that this gives him special insight into what the team needs. His outburst didn’t stop at the coach; it extended to the team manager and, shockingly, to his son’s teammates. He ended up yelling and shouting at 12-year-old boys—behavior that is completely unacceptable under any circumstance.
