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.

What team is this?

if parents plan together to leave, wtf is the league going to do, say NO?

How about not approving the roster on the other end. Then holding the coaches of both teams accountable bet that starts to at least curb this shit from happening so much.

TRT to Leaside

Isn't that what open borders in the G is all about. If you don't like where you are you can leave? What's the tampering in that? Also nothing wrong with agreeing with your friends and going together? Not sure what the problem is in that at all? Not going to lie with your post I can see why they'd want a fresh start away from the whiners....

Stop whining here, you are not helping your team to attract talent posting shit like this - everyone knows the team you are talking about.

Roll up the sleeves, help org find a good coach and go hunt for a good talent - there are enough kids looking for the new teams. Help create a program that will attract good talent instead of scaring them off here. CM leaving your team is a good thing, use it to build something better than before.

Open boarders is not pouching entire teams and staff mid season. Kids are released in April, all coaching cards are 2 years, look it up

Turning blind eye no accident. System working to support a heap of mediocre “coaches”. Lots of the coaches didn’t either have skill and/or hockey IQ to make it to Jr A/OHL Congrats - they coach your kids. Irony: These “coaches” will never coach higher level hockey for same reason. You can fool the parents but not the GMS higher up. They are salesmen period. Recruiters. Many on the take. Bravo.

I’ve never met such group of self-important incompetent ego-centric buffoons anywhere.

My apologizes to the very few exceptions.

Hence the decline in Ontario hockey.

98% of hockey coaches are a joke. the this is the only way they can make money. Most have highschool diploma. there are a few really
top tier coaches that do it because they want to be the best coach, not make the most money

Hate to say it but the G is a business. A big business. Hockey Canada is making bank, the G is making money and the coaches and organizations are getting rich as well. Unfortunately, these are the people who can fix the problem but won't because it feeds their families. I moved my older kid to the OMHA 2 seasons ago because of this. The coaching is great, his team has stayed together and improved year over year. Because of the geographic boarders it removes the under the table payments and motivates coaches to improve the players through development as opposed to wholesale changes. It's a much better system.

Congrats you got lucky. If you think all OMHA teams are like this well you are very naive.

Good and bad coaches, just like good and bad parents. Claiming most are in it for money is so ridiculous and this attitude is a big reason we are losing good coaches, same as why so many don't want to ref. Reality is most coaches are volunteers, some don't know enough about coaching or hockey, sure. Many are great teachers of hockey, provide/create a fantastic and fun experience for your kid, do it for ZERO dollars and devote TONS of time to it. Be grateful and help to make the whole system better by volunteering to do something for the team rather than whingeing on a message board.

Just because someone didn't make Jr. hockey doesn't make them a bad coach, this is a major reason why we are lacking better coaches. You need good coaches, not simply ex hockey players. The good associations and programs are the ones that seek these out, not simply hand out coaching spots because someone played 2 years of Jr A hockey. You need to be a student of the game and a teacher, how many ex NHL'r dads made great AAA coaches? If you know, you would know not many.

Respectfully:
Sorry the level of incompetence is disgraceful for “Canada’s sport”.

Also I’m sorry but we’re mixing a lot of different levels of intellect together. We’re talking the bottom third of a high school graduating (if) class. I’ve had the displeasure of interacting with some of the dumbest F’ s on this planet. They actually walk around like we do t know. LOL

Many of these guys hated studying and learning as minor hockey players. Nothing changed. They are not in the least students/masters of the game. I don’t know how some passed their driver’s test.

Many are bullies - too chicken to hear from a parent or confront one. They prefer the modified Cunuck-Caesar form of assassination: blacklist the kid.

Oh and for those who criticize this board - most of you are whipping it up in the arenas in your cozy little groups - a virtual board so to speak - backstabbing in our dirtiest Canadian way.
You’d like nothing better than your corrupt bought coaches and leagues not be exposed. Transparency is your enemy - secrecy your power.

It’s a cozy cult - same tactics - same results.

Exactly. Full respect for the 2%.
