There has been a culture shift in society, with the most talked about topics being entitlement and woke. I can't imagine what it would be like to deal with a parent who files a formal complaint, alleging "abuse" because a player missed a couple of shifts. I can't imagine what they would say to their kid in car and the attitude the kid brings to the rink.

Oakman said the GTHL has submitted 85 cases to the independent third party this season, though the overall number involving the league is likely much higher since complaints can also be submitted directly to the third party.... “They’re getting complaints where a kid missed two shifts and that’s being filed with the independent third party as abuse,” Oakman said.
The core values and spirit of minor hasn't changed. It's the core values and expectations of the people that have changed and turned minor hockey into what another thread on MHT refers to as a "cesspool". What was once an environment of team, trust and enjoyable sport for everyone has turned into one of selfishness, deception and cut-throat because of growing group of parents trying to get ahead in the fantasy arms race of getting their kid into the NHL.
The orgs haven't ruined minor hockey...the mob has.
If its two shifts every period, every game, for an entire season - it's abusive.
^^^and here they are...the millennial hockey parent!
Well, when you roll off the barstool and stop telling people how you could have been a player, maybe you'll realize its kids sport and everyone who pays to play, deserves to play. No amount of A's changes that.
You sir are wrong. You put your kid in a level they don’t belong and that’s on you. Too many dads put their kids in a level they don’t belong and wonder why they don’t get ice time. The goal of the gsme is to win not be fair
No the goal is developing kids. Full stop. Developing their confidence and their abilities. You pick em you coach them. It's a fallacy that kids' sport is about winning. If that's the goal we're setting up 99.9 percent to fail. So it has to be about more than winning.
Finally someone who gets it!!
