There are coaches in the league who were great with development, I agree not tons of them but they are out there. Most coaches, and parents prioritize winning over development. They chase spots on the top teams, those teams stay strong regardless of how good or not the coach is. Way it is.

Anyway, tampering? It's inevitable with the system we have, but don't fool yourself. Most coaches do not reach out to players. It's parents talking, or a parent contacting a team.

We’re not talking about “I just finding a better environment for my kid” they’re taking the top half of the team with them. And one of the coaches already did this to another AA team they were with last year.

This is the shit the GTHL needs to crack down on.

Sounds like you're angry your little guy wasn't asked to join the group. Nothing the league can do. Happens all the time. It's only minor hockey, take a breather.
