One or two of the coaches didn't receive their release from their previous organization.
Gthl thought it would be reasonable to punish the kids.
Gthl - always putting kids first.
Don't blame the G
The coaches knew the rules, they broke them
Why didn’t they just ask for their release?
I'm going to guess that were not granted a release. There is a year or two gap needed for coaches to prevent them from jumping teams and taking players with them

They were not granted a release by NT. They tried to form a team with another org and were denied a release, they knew they had to sit out a year. The kids can go where they want but the coaches are locked down for a year if they don't get a release. NYK then came up with a 'loophole' to try to get around the GTHL rules, it didn't work.
Shame the kids got caught in the middle but really not a big deal, they get to play some extra games as part of the play in. Not like they lost the league winners trophy.

Isn't this all a mute point...the team paid the consequences with the deduction of points in the regular season which dropped them down to the bottom of the standings - that being said that same team with those same talented kids still have the opportunity to compete in the playoffs? The playoffs is really a new season so regardless of the wins/losses that occurred in the regular season they have the opportunity to still make some noise and win some games with the hope they go as far as they can in the playoffs...

I think they could have been a little more creative with their punishment. The kids are 9 years old and wouldn't even understand what happened.
