Minor Hockey Talks - Hockey Forum

Great players, very talented but he's the worst person in the league. Gets a penelty cries to the ref, wins a game screams at the other bench. Should be removed

There are posts about him. He is able to coach a good team and is successful but he will never get credit because he acts like a classless buffoon. I've seen him jeer and taunt kids after beating them - completely out of line. Wouldn't go and talk back to a grown man but does it to kids. No honor or sportsmanship. I think he must have been bullied as a kid because of his looks or weirdness and is psychologically trying to get even.

When evaluating players at this age, look at them away from the puck. Too many get caught up looking at how hard a AAA player shoots or well he toe drags but, doesn't note that 90% of the time the same kid is lost without the puck. The AA player who isn't as skilled (yet) but, is in right spots without the puck will eventually take that spot.

Close games between EastEnders and TR and NT and West Hill. Good to see the top teams battling.

It’s tight at the top. Any of those teams can beat/lose to each other.

It's nice to imagine that this is true.

I think the top 3 are closer to each other than last year. The next 4 teams are getting better but still behind the leading group- WH clearly the better team out of the 4. Then there's SYB.. not a good team but not terrible, they will finish 3rd last due to lack of talent. And then the bottom 2 teams who could be very good single A teams but for some reason are playing AA

a few rotten apples that spoil a batch and That is what's happened with NYK. Easy to say kids/parents entitled but it's no joke anymore. Kids are getting hurt on your own team and others. Could see it last year. They were taught to play rough, stick lift, and with grit. That is good but you have to teach them the limit and teach them sportsmanship and fair play first.

A very disappointing team. Last year they looked like they were headed to the top group but they have stagnated and talent development seems to be at zero

I just saw NYK play and seems like they've improved so much in 3-4 weeks compared to all the other team. So not sure what you're talking about

You beat SIR and a slumping West Hill. Congrats
