Heh, and really, even over 12 it's irrelevant. Winning isn't shit if kids aren't developed. If they can only play in a "system" or in a certain style, they will not make it to the next level, and even if they do, they will not be successful. Develop players and you'll have success. Many coaches don't understand that...Quote:

I know it's obvious, but what they really needed were stickhandling skills etc. the exact opposite advice he was yelling.
We get our fair share of drunk race dads too. Always awesome when a couple brahs are hammered on the slopes by noon cheering on the kids. Even better when their little bumpkins get beaten and they throw a fit at the timers and race officials.
I'm not a coach but I help out our team a lot. I spend a lot of time herding other people's children and chasing them around at away races making sure they are ready, eat, go pee, get your bib, where are your race skis, find mommy and daddy, get to the course, etc. Zero appreciation from net parents for the guy rolling solo with a dozen Under 10s so coaches can work with older kids.
people suck huh?Quote:

We moved to a bigger organization with 8 teams and 4 levels within my son's age group. The talent level is divided really well due to all the available teams at different levels. I'm used to having stud kids on the same team that terrible kids are on....much easier when they're all the same ability.
My 4 yr old daughter just started playing too. I'm enjoying coaching those kids more than anything.
Taking a 5 yr old kid that's never stepped on the ice from his terrified parents, and having them standing up by the end of the practice is really as good as it gets.
I'll save the conversation about the moms for the padded room. For now I'll just say it's beyond ridiculous...grade AAA
My fifth year coaching youth soccer and I'm hating it this year!
I really don't care if the kid is any good, if they listen I'll be able to teach them something and if they just try then they'll have fun.
But for f#cks sake if the kid is only on the field for 4 x 5 mins in a game could they at least face the damn ball and pretend to care about whats going on!!

Now I like a few beers but it's 7-9 yr old hockey and at 12:30pm on a Sat...anyone else seen this? Can't we wait till, say, 4:00 to have a beer? No wonder asshole parents get in fights in the stands
Dude, some parents of my then 8 y/o daughters teammates snuck crown royal intoQuote:

Watch for the rigged inbetween card games. I remember having $200-$300 dollar pots in squirts and pee-wees 30 years ago. Rigged double and triple burns. Some guys were using their equipment as collateral. Oh the memories.
Sophomore quits the team early season due to lack of playing time? Kid didn't deserve to be on the team. Hope he watched the Predators tonight--some guys who haven't had a lot of ice time in the NHL stepping up when they got the chance.Quote:
