Minor Hockey Talks - Hockey Forum

After playing against VP and MR this season MR has the clear advantage in the goaltending in having Doyle between the pipes. If he’s starting MR will win this series and the championship. He's always in position and even if he's not he's has the athleticism and speed to keep the puck out. I’m not trying to glaze the guy or anything but I gotta give credit where credit is due and in my eyes having played against every goalie he’s the best in the league.

What’s done is done. Inside information says nothing the Rattlers try will change the decision of the GTHL. They are pretty much wasting their time, unless they find it therapeutic to continue with their current campaign, but ultimately it’s all for nothing.

Agreed. The GTHL is infamous for showing zero leniency with its punishments. You might shave a few games off a coach suspension but that's it. But the GTHL needs to review its rules annually and I would hope they would review the penalties for clerical errors and adjust them to better suit the crime. A hefty monetary fine to the offending association is reasonable. A couple of games suspension for team officials perhaps. but remove the punishment on the players. It's beyond stupid and unjust. And while they are at it, they need to review the penalties for first-time offenses for players using verboten words. A first-time offender using the 'p' word getting 7 games? When a first time checking to the head offense gets you two games. Yeah, that really sends the right message to players about what the league is more concerned about - your feelings not your health. There should be an escalating penalty model that parallels the penalties for dangerous play infractions.

The GTHL is run by suits and lawyers, just like Disney, another Mickey Mouse business.

Totally agree…it just doesn’t make sense. How does a player get more games for saying something than for physically injuring another kid? It just goes to show how woke the GTHL has become. Everything’s being labeled as offensive or hateful these days, and it feels like common sense has gone out the window. Intent and context should matter, player safety should always come first.

LETS GO HVS. LETS GO HVS. LETS GO HVS
Everyone should go to the game on Sunday and show your support for HVS. Stupid Rattler parents.

The big question .. who is the RAT behind exposing Rattlers? Once we find the RAT, we can all go out and show support for whatever team they are playing against. Bottom line, we need to find the RAT and make an example out of him/her.

Omg just stfu please. Everyone already knows who reported them. You know who reported them. We all know. And guess what, if the Rattlers org had their shit together then there would have been nothing to report. Take care of your own business and you don't end up in this situation. Nobody cares who reported them anymore, we just are tired of all the whining and crying from the Rattlers so just drop it already!

OMG you are a Moron. You clearly don't understand the purpose behind Minor Hockey. The Gs mission is to provide hockey experiences that are inclusive, empowering, and promote growth and excellence. RATTING a team out is not inclusive .. giving them a heads up that best to have manager get their 'credential'. Ripping away 14 wins from the hard work the team has put in is not Empowering. Rewarding a RAT with 14 losses to its competitors is not Excellence but Repulsive. The whole theatre behind a innocent mistake is so far from Excellence but in fact Incompetence. This entire last two weeks is a massive dark cloud placed on the G, the 2009 Division, the organization and the team. All caused by a RAT. Disgraceful.

What is really disgraceful is not knowing and fixing the mistake after what 16 games? more if you include tournaments?
Direct your anger to the MR club that is where all the blame belongs.

The G rulebook actually states that if a coach on a bench knows there is an ineligible player or coach/trainer on the opposing bench, they are required to flag it. It was added a few years ago under "Failure to Report" -- look it up. Blame a rat all you want it's literally no one else's fault but your group.

Have you been following along? First time here? Their literal point is that they didn't know. The organization messed up the registration with the help of the GTHL and their flawed instructions. The guy had all the qualifications, submitted them, and has the OHF checkmark screenshot (look at their website; it's all there out in the open). You losers with the 'rules are rules' chants just want to see the kids suffer. Mistakes happen; no crime was committed. Good for the MR parents for fighting for their kids. Now... go ahead and call me an MR parent because I know that's what's next. Guess what? I'm an HVS parent and disgusted with the way PC not only made a small thing into a federal crime, but called other clubs to try and get them to do the same. Even our GM was disgusted, because it's wrong and the GTHL not investigating or following their own rules is wrong.

Yes but their "literally point is that they didn't know" is just a complete lie and that's why everyone has turned against MR now because you're being full of shit. They absolutely knew. Because they literally signed off on the game sheets for 3 months, knowing full well that the trainer on their bench was not the same name as the trainer on the game sheet. So of course they knew. You mean to tell me that some mom from another team could figure out their game sheet was incorrect, but they didn't know??? You guys are embarrassing yourself now with this story. Just own it already.

We all know a mistake happened but why RAT it out. Some worthless piece of garbage is snooping around other peoples game sheets to find a flaw. I wonder whether this person from another team realized that your RATTING will hurt kids. This is not about punishing a bench staff but you are hurting kids .. as outlined above that is the real evil that has been played out. You disgusting RAT for reporting this ! Shame on you!

This is getting real annoying in a hurry. MR take your punishment and move on. Stop blaming others for your error weither it was intentional or not. You still have a great chance to make it into the playoffs and do some damage. Make the best of it. Stop complaining already.

You are all forgetting that this is a draft year. I get it not many have a chance to go to the OHL but many still have chances to work there final years into a Div 1 or US Scholarship. Especially those on a first place team. I agree with the assessment of Rat. You should not damage in any way a kids dream. The person who reported this should rot in hell.

You’re full of crap and spreading lies. If you are you claim to be why not make yourself known at the next team event?
The absolute amount of misinformation, lies and trolling is astounding.

Totally agree, this is a huge year for a lot of these kids. Whether it’s the OHL, a D1 school, or another opportunity, you don’t mess with a kid’s dream, especially over something off the ice that they had no control over. It’s just wrong to punish the players for something they didn’t do. People need to think about the long term impact before making decisions that could affect these kids’ futures.
