Minor Hockey Talks - Hockey Forum

Lurked a man named Scott, with power and might.
Commissioner of hockey, with a darkened soul,
He played dirty games, to reach his goal.

Underneath the ice, his schemes did thrive,
Corrupting the sport, to keep his drive alive.
He twisted rules, with a deceitful hand,
Leaving fairness and justice sinking in quicksand.

Players and coaches, they knew his game,
But dared not challenge, his tainted fame.
For Scott held the strings, of the hockey world's fate,
A puppeteer of chaos, sealing their fate.

But in the shadows, a whisper arose,
Of justice and truth, no longer in repose.
A rebellion brewed, against Scott's reign,
To cleanse the ice, from his foul stain.

With unity and courage, they took a stand,
To reclaim the honor, of their beloved land.
Farewell to Scott, the corrupt commissioner's blight,
For in the end, truth always wins the fight.

Spoken like a true lackey. Our team financials surpassed 190k this year without anything extra. 2 yrs ago, we were 100k. So my math shows that while the G fee dropped temporarily by what 50.00?, our team fees almost doubled. For coaches who are on the take, families buying letters and other shady dealings.
So the only direction the G is headed, is further down the toilet.
A full and complete independent audit with a board and exec overhaul is needed. This is not non profit hockey and it's time HC and CRA stepped in.

Hockey in the GTA needs a complete overhaul. Out with the old, in with the new.

Come on .. you are completely wrong with the G. A huge step under Oakman in getting costs down and corruption out of the league. Less private ownership and much more diverse boards across associations. This is leading to teams posting budgets on public websites .. yes, complete transparency. If you have a paid coach, fee right there on a public website. If you host a tournament, all revenues and expenses clearly identified. Yes, Hockey Canada drives some of the decisions .. however, the G is making sure their leagues are balanced, diverse and consistent experience across 'like' ability players and age groups. People on here don't have a balanced perspective.

He's been there for too long. They need to set a 4 year maximum term for his job. As well as an outside independent board member.
