Over the past decade or so I've noticed that parents have a need to put anything their kids does hockey-wise on social media - goals, passes, skating ability, wins, look at me I got player of the game. It's more than just being proud, for some parents and teams it feels like a put down to other kids and teams that lost. I am not particularly enjoying much of this.

It’s always been like this. The reason why it’s surprising to you is because you were never involved in it as a kid and were to busy making paper airplane’s. You are soft and deserve to be kicked in the nuts for your comment.

lol u serious? Doesn’t take much these days to offend people

So you don't find all the social media posts of the same teams winning and same kids getting appreciated (by their parents) clogging up your news feed? It's funny no one does this for school. I never see anyone brag when their kid makes the honor roll, but score a goal or win a tournament they want the whole world to know. Maybe their kids suck at school. There's just no reason to be posting about hockey every single weekend, but I see it over and over. How people don't realize how obnoxious and pompous they are is beyond me.

lol...well they got nobody at tryouts...TM, like all teams, had their roster filled long before tryouts.

They lost two of their best forwards. They picked up a forward from the Red Wings. Dumped a couple pieces that didn't get any ice time last year.

They'll be very good of course...but they def didn't get better and there are other teams that are closing the gap with the improvements they made.
