ND is a very respected Coach! Stop the trash talk and see how this plays out!

I don’t doubt that ND is a good coach one bit. It’s just confusing when another coach that applied and has coaching experience as much or more and has a AAA son already. Passing on him as a coach is confusing.

Who else applied that you are talking about?

Give him a shot or go to Elgin, I hear they are calling around begging for players

Come to EMC if you think this isn’t a great choice! Currently looking/calling for 2 goalies, 2-3 D and 2 F.

EMC tampering? This is a bad look to post what they are looking for while kids are still playing the current season

Don’t be naive. This open borders decision was to promote recruiting!!

How are we going to make a thread about LJK and then make it about EMC again.. I guess everyone needs someone to hate lol

Should be an eye opener, organization is as toxic as it gets

Well what if they had no other legitimate options, what do you do then?

In fairness not every paying parent is qualified to coach. But those same parents are still qualified enough to recognize a questionable decision. The answer isn’t always: “should’ve applied to coach”. Parents should trust a responsible board to make decisions with logic based on defined criteria.

Pick the team/coach that best aligns with your values and do that. The real winners will be the kids who come out of hockey with connections, leadership, and life skills that will carry them throughout adulthood.

If everyone is so unhappy, maybe they should have applied to Coach! ND will be just fine!
