Minor Hockey Talks - Hockey Forum

EMC will remain as intended for the development of Elgin-Middlesex hockey players.

That's the way it is so if you don't like it, get ready to make your move

Good luck
The End!

Funny considering how many f1 kids will take spots or “move” like the Chatham kid on the 09 team. Taking a page out of kb book.

Or the 3 LJK kids.

Could have had emc just as good as them.

Pls tell me how freedom of choice re open borders is having control? When closed borders limits choice. Why even have F1's then? If youre so sold on borders then why allow F1's? Which is just hoop jumping bs. You're afraid is why. Afraid of choices.

Ok parent problem
Volunteers protect their own kid- thats 1 spot. Highly Paid coaches in open borders recruit their 1st line then sell the rest - thats over 10 corrupt picks - don’t believe me - check the gthl. Your pi$$ed cuz you can afford one of the corrupt spoTs but your reputation has ruined your kids chances in your home org -

No borders just makes sense. If you as an org are as great as you think you are. Why would anyone leave? Then all your problems can just go play hockey elsewhere. Seems like an obvious win win.

Which part if this did you not understand

The organizations are run by volunteers from the community they are in. Aaa is not a corporate franchise that dispatches management teams where they want a team on their dime. Local aaa orgs are started and run by the community they are in. Why the eff would a community form and volunteer to run an organization at their own great expense and time commitment for other peoples kids???

The org is run mostly by parent volunteers. There will always be parents that will jump on the board and help volunteer. It doesn't matter if they live in the community or not - thier kid PLAYS in the org. A large reason EMC shot down the open borders, from a board member, was the need to "protect their own".

You say the people who want open borders are "problem parents". Maybe the people who want closed borders realize that their kid might not have a spot if more competition comes along or less teams/spots are available. Maybe they don't like strong competition...don't want to compete with the G teams. Open borders or not, there will always be shitty coaches/parents/boards.

You're nor very smart are you? Emc rolls up to alliance which rolls up to OHF which rolls up to HC. Do you want to re-think the grassroots comments dipshlt? Lol.

Do you really think parents involved are doing it for "other peoples kids"? Lol man. You are not smart. If you're lucky to get a non parent coach great. But how many grt run out when they make a decision against the norm? See 2019-20 09's. Ran him out. Oh but you have ole JW now. Nooooo. No bias there lol

Open borders holds associations accountable to this bs. No one is looking to pay coaches $30k. But the small group in EMC that wanta to hang onto control will have a hard time competing when the team and association down the road build a winning program.

Don't be afraid. Fear is such a turn off.

Sounding like a broken record. We get it, you love the history of the chiefs and don’t want it to evolve or improve. You can’t afford hockey and/or your kid likely wouldn’t make a team if the league was more competitive. You also only think that with open borders, people who live in the boundary will volunteer. No one who lives outside the boundary, with a kid playing for EMC will volunteer.

Go to the tryouts and evaluate the less than 30 kids. You tell us who would be just as good or better?

The history buff stuff is quite comical.

They should make one of those Canadian Minutes segments about it

If they keep RM they will lose games in the alliance and start to slide. That team is small, and some players have fallen off drastically. It’s time for a new coach to come in and make some changes. Where you’re getting the kids from, who knows. JW from the 09 team will be getting the team so no worries about PP.

This has to be a butt hurt LJK dad. Question is what one hates PP the most?

Better hurry and make changes to the 4th best team in Canada. I just looked and looks like they have lost no Alliance games this year. Are you OK?

PP & RM both stand up guys and have done alot for 2011 age group

There would be many teams throughout Ontario and beyond that would be jacked to have a RM or PP to lead their team!

Do tell then why PP isn't coaching in the G? RM could get a team because he has a track record of success. Where did LJK finish last season? Top 30? Yeah, the world of minor hockey is killing to get PP to coach. Overrated. Anyone can stand there and scream at players. That's easy. Relating to them is totally different. The best coaches are able to build rapport and motivate the players by making them feel like they matter.

You are likely a bottom end AAA parent having trouble understanding the game…or you just clearly have never had a clue about the game. Hopefully not a combined version of both. Why would an Alliance coach go to the toxic G? Your suggestion makes zero sense. Did you even play hockey yourself? Or just get lucky enough to have your little all star be okay enough at pee wee so that you can have an opinion Vicarious Dad! Good luck next season “coach”

The GTHL is the best league in the world. Toxic it might be, but still the best.

Success would come from the best coaching paired with solid AAA-caliber players. London has good AAA players. Why no championships? Beating sh*t teams like CK LJS WS CH means nothing. EMC can win because they have good coaching AND good players. There is a difference between coaching junior hockey where players already know how to play the game vs younger kids who need a good coach to teach them. Why is JRC so good? Just because they have good players? No. They have good coaching.

I have several friends that Coach in the GTHL and there are very few parents in the Alliance that would be willing to pay what their Coaches charge for their Seasons. For most of them Coaching is their full time job. They Coach and they run off season Clinics where people pay trying to get their kids on those teams. Very typical for a GTHL AAA Coach that does Clinics to make 175 - 250 G a year and a large portion of that Cash! Thats the reality! Alliance Coach outside of U16 maybe expenses and a couple Grand. Get what you pay for.

If you only get 30 kids then there is something wrong with your program. EMC should have a 100 kids on the ice. Want to know why you don't?

There's a lot of kids in the area, they avoid EMC at all costs and F1 elsewhere or just stick to Shamrock. They don't need or want your EMC crap. Bring a kid to a tryout and coaches won't even let the regular EMC kids skate against kids trying out that weren't there last year? Yeah that's a way to gauge talent! What are you all afraid of? I thought you're for the development of EM kids!
