When the Jr.Gaels step on the ice for the 2024/25 season, they will be putting forward an exciting mix of youth and talent at the younger levels. It's always nice to see the excitement of the kids and parents at these younger age groups until Daddy's get involved with the executive. Unfortunately it's looking like another long winter again in Kingston for our U16 & 18 levels, a lot like last year. It will also be along season for the U13 & U 14 teams. Lots of potential at the younger developing years but as we know, it always turns sour when parents get involved with the executive.
A little history lesson of prior teams. 02 was manipulated by the god of hockey in Kingston at the younger levels, who also happened to be the Hockey Ops Daddy. He finally took his ball and was sent packing. 03 was controlled by the now former President Daddy, ask around how this team got along on and off the ice. Can you believe he is now the Hockey Dev guy? 04 was controlled by the Hockey Dev Daddy snake and the parents. 05 coach becomes the Hockey Ops Daddy and only lasts for a short stint! Now a 07 Daddy takes over the Hockey Ops position. 06 was controlled by the VP Daddy and that team had a lot good young talent but under achieves.07 Hockey Ops Daddy & Hockey Dev Daddy snake take over. 08 what can be said? What an absolute disgrace! 09 Again what else can be said? T-shirt coach is/was in way over his head. Now he is off to destroy the development of the U14 group.10 Daddy coach with a ton of hockey experience. Won red hats at AA last year but there is a lot of question marks there also. 11 now we have Mr.T-shirt and it's going to be along cold winter for our group. Didn't two kids leave us? Why? 12 HL guru coach who needs to be mentored and is also in way over his head. Heard lots of kids went to play AA? Why? 13 VP Daddy, Coach packs it in before the season even starts. Why?
Interesting enough wasn't the (04, 06 & 08) to have teams with a lot of potential & talent at the younger levels? Should be noted that the same Head Coach coached all three of these teams at the U16 level.
Coaching? Parent Involvement? Executive controlled by parental influence? Common theme? Hopefully the new Hockey Ops guy can convince more experienced and respectable coaches to coach in our organization? The pinnacle of any AAA organization is the U16 year, many kids strive to play at this age group but over the last few years kids have left because of a variety reasons. Again, Why? Is it the coaching? Is it the Daddy executive making poor decisions? Is it the parents controlling the executive? Common theme again, year after year? Is a non parent executive the answer?
When/if/hopefully will our organization be taken over by another local association and put on the right path to success? It will only benefit all minor hockey in this city with the potential to be successful. This city deserves so much better from the top team in this city all the way down to minor hockey.
Good Luck to all teams and enjoy the long weekend. Parents, enjoy watching your kids grow and develop because it goes by very fast!
What is this?? Wow. Nobody can read this it’s so long. Do you really think anyone will read this entire post. After reading the first paragraph and noticing the novel afterward who can be expected to read your humble feelings. Dude it’s not your Facebook page

Team having a hard time to get anyone to AP
Team is not having a hard time getting AP’s. I am guessing you were not asked. Sucks for you but the U18’s will keeping improving and pushing forward. Probably 3rd or 4th from the bottom at years end. Just ahead of QRD, PP, maybe COW or NCP
The U18’s short staffed and with Ap’s proved they will be rising up once they get a full team. Don’t sleep on GK U18!

I read it. Our family has lived it. It’s the most accurate post I’ve read about this association. If you’re a young family and have a chance to jump ship, do it. Don’t feel bad. The cycle will never end.

There’s no way that this U18 team finishes ahead of QRD PP NCP or COW. This is a sub par team. Tryouts were a joke. Promises made to kids before tryouts were absolutely hilarious. How is DK the captain? Best player on the team is NP
