I can't believe people would defend this. If it happened to you your position would be different. Pathetic. Pulling the "the kids just wanted to play hockey" card. Losers.

He's an 06 playing in an 05 game. Gimme a break. He made a few plays and your team lost big deal now let it go. If it was an infraction there would have been a suspension by today. It's not a big deal now get over it people. These guys are just trying to develop as many kids as possible. You should have a little more respect for them and what they do. At the end of the day it's not about winning and losing or whi scored the goal. It's about the kids play a competitive sport and having fun, playing with their peers under the direction of a great coach.

Another idiot on the Dboard. They Broke the clearly stated rules. they should be punished. i would agree maybe not to the extreme the rules state but some form of punishment was needed. And it was a parity round so winning does matter in this case. I doubt they were in the locker room before these games this weekend with the coaches telling the kids to "work on your passing and not worry so much about winning"

^^^^Agree with this post. Not that big of a deal in grand scheme of things. Kid just wants to play hockey so let him play. No need for suspensions.
^^ are you actively trying to be stupid? Tampering with the outcome of games in parity can change the division a team gets placed in. I would completely agree if they were short players and they found some players to fill in that fit right in with everyone else and had little to no impact on the game either way. From what I am reading one kid had seven or eight goals in two games - not exactly blending in by my definition. An entire team could end up playing in the wrong division all year because of this tampering. It seems crazy to kick kids and coaches and teams out of the league over it. I think a fair consequence would be that they forfeit those games. The teams they did this to shouldn't have to suffer by taking a loss in parity and they shouldn't be rewarded for their choice with wins in parity. Maybe put the coaches and players on probation as well - let them stay but the next incident is zero tolerance. I can't imagine that the BA kids or their parents thought it through - chalk it up as a bad choice, slap on the wrist, lesson learned.

I think his point was these teams already missed the boat on E9. Not much of s difference between American and National. The Giants would have pulled through if the whole team had made the game so not a big deal.

I would agree here... Not much of a difference at the 05 level. Both American or National will be fine for either team placement. Just enjoy the ride parents it's over before you know it. Not worth bickering over this stuff as it's not important in your child's development.
Jerkoffs are missing the point. Good luck cheaters.
It's a 10 year old who just wanted to play hockey and help out some of his friends. I think you people are over reacting.
If he wanted to help them out he would have passed them the puck.
It's very early in the season, kids will pass more and gel more overtime. If a player over looks a pass here and there at this point it's not really a big deal so I wouldn't worry about it. If it's happening in January then you have a problem. Gotta let the kids play. A lot of these little things work themselves out over time.

He cant pass them the puck. he isnt on that team anymore.
Gallant would near let his teams pull this crap. If they did he would stand up and take the punishment. That is why the E9/Bhl will never compete with the Efed.
Let's see if KP and TL are solid guys and take the punishment. Oh and there is no loophole.
no skin in the game but guys come on its 10-11 year old hockey.
I believe the exact situation happened 2-3 years ago at the 2003 level with the Cyclones. Brought in some ringers, qualified for the E9, and then the ringers were never seen again.
IIRC, the league came down hard on the coach. I believe he was even banned. Maybe somebody closer to that situation has more details.
And when you all accept that this has nothing to do with fairness or player development, and EVERYTHING to do with the money being made by a select few people - this will all become very clear. But then, the D-Board won't be nearly as fun!
