I haven’t seen a rats parent threaten someone’s life, the odd glass banging, maybe. Picking a fight in front of everyone is an absolute embarrassment. And then to even call it out in the locker room in front of your team is even worse. What kind of a role model are you showing as a leader. The kids you cut made better teams. No game blow outs there.

Coach has done a great job with the rats. Took a bunch of players who couldn’t make the gtc cut and taught them how to play hockey. 90% of that team was taken out of desperation. This year Rosie wont have that problem and all your little stars will be on the move to the next tire fire team (back to the caps maybe).
Rosie watch out they’ll try to beat you’re a$$ next.

Came here to get a feel on Rosie as my kid went out to his birthday skate last Saturday. I heard good things about him so reached out. Didn’t get a good first impression so wanted to do my own research. What’s everyone’s opinions?

My kid was there as well. Talked to some of the parents, nothing but good things regarding Rosie. Some folks on here definitely had an axe to grind with him in the fall but I don't see anyone who played on that team complaining about the season or the results. Way above expectations.

Great coach, only have had good experience with him in the past. Your kid will improve with him.

Was at a GTC skate and heard different story from a top Rat players parent. People are probably too scared to say anything because the way he talks to his players. Finally we’re back on the Rat’s chat, I thought Rosie was going to get away with being a douche.

First of all no Rats kid (cut or not cut) would ever show their face at a GTC skate. That's plain out embarrassing and if you want to talk about the worst coaching in the biz, then GTC is your game. Pure and simple douche bag at large. Parents walk into arenas with their head down because they know others are plain out calling them losers.
As for Rosie, no doubt if your not doing all the extra's your not on his top line. He was a failure in previous years and puts on a great show. That's about it.
Someone on the tread last year had it right. Something like Rosie = crap = Rats. Cant remember how it went.

I was at the Caps skate too. It was actually pretty good and there were a bunch of rats in the building. Didn’t speak with any parents but heard there’s some unhappiness there and they’re looking at options.

Funny, I was at the caps skate and the only ones there was a few last stragglers in streetsville, panthers A, westmall, I think I seen a wolverine, some GPR, less than a handful of caps.
Clearly the caps coach trying to pump some tires here. Will be last place next year with a rebuild like that

Thanks for the good laugh. Another underwear going right to the garbage for laughing so hard. Who ever is pumping up caps here has a couple of fries short of a happy meal. Eighter your on the team and your having a "were screwed" moment, or your the caps coach and your in a deep panic thinking you'll be worse than the panthers next year.

The caps has sailed and faded into the sunset. There is no way a decent player or parent would ever consider that team. Unless you don't love your kid

When it comes to hockey we sometimes make foolish decisions

Agreed. If you've taken the time to find and scroll through a coach's Facebook profile it's time to log off and get some perspective.
