All these No names haters make me sick. He never intended to coach AA but stepped up as a favour because he knows his child would actually prefer playing in a lower tier. He’s making significant sacrifices for this.
LMFAO sure keep telling yourself that. You're so disillusioned. Is it a favour the way he keeps treating his #2 goalie?? Was it a favour when he showed the entire dressing a video of kids playing pond hockey on a snow day and called them selfish, and benched those kids?... a video by the way he had no business taking of other peoples children. Was it a favour when he ridiculed ONE player after a silver stick silver medal to the point that child wanted to quit hockey? Was it a favour when he left a child crying on the bench, and wouldn't allow another coach to console him?? DO THOSE SOUND LIKE FAVOURS TO YOU? The man is control freak and treats children like pawns and their parents worse.
The only favour he cares about is the one he does for his son.

He's really not doing his son any favours. He could excel at a lower level

Lots of talk around hosting a U15 elite tournament, the level of Marlboros Christmas event or The Brick in Edmonton. Aurora going to build of OHFs into a tournament destination. You hearing that ?
ZERO chance!!! FYI elite tournaments only happen in the off season and are geared to the best AAA kids, the Marlies Christmas classic is a very good tournament especially at the U16 level but is in no way considered "elite"
Where could Aurora / AMHA fit in around 'Elite' tournaments?
There's no reason, with some work and excellent volunteers, that the AMHA couldn't host an excellent tournament. It wont be anywhere near the brick, but we could put on something great. Some of our arena's need work though. ACC1 is terrible, tiny dressing rooms, no real concessions, sub par seating. AFLC is fit for practices only, it's impossible to watch a game there. SARC and ACC2 could work, with added things like maybe food trucks, or another way to sell real food. Get someone like Brady films or another hockey influencer to show up..just spit balling.

Please refer to the latest JB tourny hosted by AMHA...... very pitiful, as far as an elite tourny or even a AAA tourny that would be on YSE to get set up, AMHA will have no involvement in that, again please refer to the latest event.....embarrassing to say the least.

I'm convinced that this MM guy is brought in strictly to distract from the disfunction of the rest of the age groups in Aurora.

I think what AMHA is trying to put on is an elite level AA tournament. Really the top AA teams from Ontario at the U14/U15 level come to Aurura. These teams/players can showcase themselves for potential AAA spots the next year up. It will be a springboard to get to AAA and ultimately maybe drafted or college the following couple of years. The point with this elite AA tournament it can help market itself as an elite level AA organization. It will become a top AA players choice, especially being apart of a showcase that AMHA will host.

The board knows he is controversial and will draw so much attention to himself that it will divert focus away from them, which works in their favour since they aren’t doing much good.

Was the JB tournament that bad? I didn't attend, but haven't heard a word about at all, neither in a positive or negative respect. It's almost like it didn't happen at all.

The board quite frankly cannot do any good as long as CS is at the helm.

The JB tournament was successful. The Aurora teams did well. The Earlybird Aurora tournament is a bit more successful in drawing teams. The issue is that Aurora is not attracting the elite AA teams to either tournament. Thus, AMHA thinking making the Earlybird only A/BB tournament divisions. However, the second tournament for U14/U15 would be an elite tournament to showcase the top AA teams in the province. It would be a full notch above the Silver Stick.
