So then why are you involved in it and commenting on this? It's your comment going to cure the ails of a bigger "hockey cultural problem"?

Best to bury your head in the sand, pretend like nothing happens. It’s the oakville way.

I thought you weren't bothered by it or complaining about it? It's not your problem apparently so who cares, am I right?

Totally agree more people need to step up and action their complaints. However, the culture in Oakville (which starts at the top) is to silence the parents through the power of the coaches and the org to impact their child’s hockey career (whatever that ends up being beer league to the NHL). Everyone is afraid of the impact it will have on their kid so they say nothing. When things are said, there is an all out effort to shut those parents down cast them as outsiders or complainers with no real accountability. Oakville is a ‘coach and org centric’ place not a player and parent centric org. Even the extreme example that was summarized on the W5 episode….parents don’t speak up. There were so many examples of this last year even, stories of coaches being emotionally abusive to kids and nothing is done. This is the grass roots of hockey that needs to change. If you want to give your kid the best opportunity, leave Oakville as fast as you can. Good news for JV and friends is there is a line up of deep pocketed parents in Oakville so they can handle the departures and there are many of them.

100% correct. Get the f outta Oville. Don’t complain to anyone, just f’ing run.

So basically you still haven't explained anything other than vague references. So it didn't work out for you in Oakville is what I'm gathering? Wonder why it works out for so many others...hmmm

Worked out for so many others? Quite a vague reference. They don’t have a choice. Need to get rid of release requirements. Best programs, best coaches, get the best kids. Parents and kids decide not the coaches and JV and his pals. Why in such a deep hockey pool like Oakville should anyone require a release to go elsewhere.

were they at a team event? tournament? or just a get together with friends? because news flash for you - teenage boys have been known to do stupid things. if it was not a team event and had nothing to do with the league then why would anyone need to miss ice time? if the police get involved and things progress further then maybe have the conversation. but for now sounds like you are just stirring shit up

So it’s true, and known about. And check the Oakville News, police are involved.

According to the article, a group took a car (that didn’t belong to them), crashed into a house/fence and fled the crash. Sounds like something every teenage boy does in their free time.

Wow and the 2 comments defending this and making excuses prove every point on here about OR but also the parents! SMH normal things teenage boys do.
