He was also offered a couple different spots in the GTHL for this year (or atleast words were spoken to us to lead us to it … but we learned of this site and now I am on it watching and reading the crazy parents of the GTHL … read their group it’s comical and I don’t want anything to do with it for my kids sake) … we are happy where he is as long as he is happy where he is.

Anything else I can share? I don’t hide from anything if ya wanna know?

My son plays for Peterborough I was just curious if cow was having issues and that’s why you left.

We tried to get CW to play elsewhere that would be easier on us for driving … he wanted to go nowhere but back to NCP. So it may not be same for every kid but ours loved it.

Just got my head on straight. No matter where you go you will never be happy with your mindset. Just enjoy the ride … everyone thinks they know more than the next person. If you were the coach I can guarantee people wouldn’t like you either … nature of the position.

You don’t know how bad it is until you have it.

I am CW and my son is CW the goalie who joined last year after one of the 7 quit. I don’t do anonymous.

I find the coaching staff to be quite refreshing … for one reason being that they don’t give in to overbearing parents causing so many to quit when they disagreed with what coaches are doing.

Do I agree with every decision they make? Nope … but I am a goalie dad and not the coach so my opinion only matters to me. More parents need to understand that.

As for slagging on kids like the Barrie kids … lots of cuts happen for different reasons. My kid was cut last year from COW and again this year was granted release … and yet they can’t beat him … we are so thankful to have him back in NCP with this coaching staff, players and player families. Time will tell for all kid where there hockey journey will take them and let’s just enjoy the ride.
