SH quickly learned how immature DC and a couple other coaches were and chose to step away. Worst part is DC is there for one reason and it's not for the team. Keep that leash tight.

Playing with this team now for just a couple seasons and it's clear whose show it is sadly. Not the plan back at tryouts. Would have decided otherwise had we known someone was going to be bullied out.

Hopefully he can organize the pops better than a hockey team. He was used the last two years and probably didn't even realize it!

You all actually think CM has a say in what goes on. You must be as delusional as he is. Biggest pretender east side of Trenton.

So they have a delusional manager and a delusional coach. Another great hire by a former delusional Hockey Ops!

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!
