MM coaches don’t care it appears. Poor kids. Heartless coaches. Kids deserve better treatment.

It’s disheartening to see this unfold. While this team may not have been the most talented, let’s remember these are 10-year-old hockey players—children still mastering the basics of the game and life itself. The bigger question isn’t about their talent but the lessons they’re being taught. What message has been sent this season? Have the players lost faith in their coach, or has the team’s culture eroded so badly that they no longer feel motivated to show up?
ML claims to be a mental performance coach, but that title deserves scrutiny. From an outsider’s perspective, it’s worth seriously reconsidering before committing to this program. After all, actions speak louder than titles, and the results here raise more questions than answers.

Considering MM, now seriously thinking can’t have my kid go through this sh*t

From the looks of it HC Markus Leikkari doesn't have a program or even know what the f*ck he' doing. Serious question though, do "coaches or instructors" from Blyth actually know what they're doing?

Blyth is like the MM of schools. Low quality everything at an upper echelon private school price. Coaches can barely skate, school is a dungeon and it’s just a con!

Yet 4 Blyth peeps are HCs of 2014 teams

4 HC’s and 1 trw parent that controls from the stands to make sure his little Johnny plays AAA rather A like he should be playing

Played them today ML was on the bench but not the AC’s. Team looked terrible not the team we played earlier in the season. Something really wrong there

Can’t be kids fault? MM have weak kids and so Reps and NYR but clearly MM kids did not develop.

Reps/NYR/MM/TRW/Rebels
When trying to decide which is the better team, its like asking what's better chicken sh!t or human sh!t or bull sh!t
Get where I'm going..

MM have a parent culture issue. “Little Johnny is a star” as seen by crazy best player dad on this thread. Kids can’t take or make a pass. MM will be fine. New team next year. Likely little to no kids returning and most probably won’t even make another AAA team.

Sounds like the KS AA dad coming in and acting like money can buy talent.

LOL came mid-season, can't be that bad. Bench is the common denominator for 2 failed seasons back to back.

You all need to get your facts straight. ML came in for U10 with a team already picked - he inherited it, and couldn't make any changes after the coach who picked them all up and left on a dime last minute. Good group of kids, but couldn't compete at AAA. Not their fault.

So - ML tried to rebuild the team that he didn't pick for U11, when most kids were moving and committing early - took what he could and knew where they would stand. Team went from 2-29-2 in U10 to 6-27-0 in U11. 4 more wins is a small step in the right direction. Plus, didn't account for the fact that some of the parents are insane losers. 2 nutcase goalie dads and a bunch of parents who think their kids should play for VK but 'politics' is the reason they arent.

ML knew what he was working with, and is making changes again to move forward in U12. Stop the nonesense.

MM no have best player. All MM player no good!

MM kids were abandoned by their coaches. Heard MM 2015 coach had to help out. Oh boy, not a good sign for OMHA kids whose planning to join MM.

JRC123........4......5 ZIP.
OUCH.
Was FM missing...

FM carries that team.. without him they are a slightly better version of TT

Did FM play tonight against the VK

he did, but you cant pin this on him.
The rest of the forwards did nothing as usual and the D are overrated.
Goalie got outplayed by HS as usual.

Let’s not forget he is actually one of the few educated coaches in the league. I rather have my kid with an educated professional than an uncivilized idiot who is only after money!
