Re: TG — IHC

Mind to elaborate? I don’t think you’re talking about this season. I expect him to join IHC next season and stay with TG till the end of this season.
Seems like a responsible thing to do to let TG know now that he is not coming back next season.
And I’m surprised IHC ‘14 is taking them - I don’t think they’ll mesh with character of that group well.

Nope he took his toys and went home. Useless as a coach so no big loss there. But to not bring his kid back and essentially having him quit on his team because he didn’t get his way tells you all you need to know about his character. The organization couldn’t have been anymore clear that they wanted his kid to stay. Good luck to IHC - no idea with all they have why they would want to take a chance with this guy.

Re: TG — IHC

Seems like this all has ZERO to do with the kids and EVERYTHING to do with the PARENTS! It’s pathetic really! All these kids moving around to this program that program! It’s a joke! Kids no longer make these teams based off of ability etc it’s all done “behind the scenes” and it’s a “who you know who you blow” type deal. Good luck! Just remember just because something seems better doesn’t mean it is and best of luck burning all these bridges for your kid!!!!

Couldn’t be more right on how teams are built around here.

Re: TG — IHC

What I've noticed is that all the talent seems to end up on the same teams. Parents see teams winning I guess and are like that's it we're moving over there. Seems to happen across all birth years.

Re: TG — IHC

Let’s not forget when his son got suspended for 3 games for shooting a puck at the ref he didn’t even bring him to the games he had to sit out to support his team…

Anonymously calling out a team of 8 year olds seems dirty to me. Feel free to give examples. But, keep in mind that the same accusations could be brought against at least a few players on almost every team. As an adult with a smidge of integrity, I’ll keep those small samples of player misconduct to myself. But I can’t guarantee that the other anonymous posters here will be as kind.

If you are implying that the coaches or parents are encouraging dirty play, then by all means tell us all what you’ve witnessed. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

Re: TG — IHC

Parents are 100% able to make choices on where they spend their money. These club team coaches and organizations have zero loyalty and nor should they. So, in return parents shouldn't have any loyalty either. However, you do owe it to your team to finish the year out... From a coaching perspective, I am sure the organization pulled him off the bench, which btw ANY organization would do, so no fault to him nor TG. But to pull his kid from the team is just sad... I am sure the kid wants to finish the season with his team, and I am sure he could benefit from a few good life-lessons. Also, I wonder why as a coach, having I presume worked hard and developed relationships with 7/8/9-year-old kids and parents over the last few years, felt zero obligation to helping the team finish strong. What does this say about this guy? Sounds like someone who only cares about himself... No idea why IHC would want to add this narcissist to a great TEAM...why risk breaking something that's working so well?

Re: TG — IHC

I don't understand why IHC needed the kid either. He is good, but TG needed him more. This is the problem in the Fed. The teams at the top get better and the ones at the bottom get worse. So what exactly makes this league so great?

Re: TG — IHC

So then why would the IHC approve this? Are they cutting kids to make room for this kid and or Dad because let’s face it, it’s not like the 7/8/9 year old kid is saying I want or need to switch teams! It’s 100% the DAD! Who are they getting rid of to accommodate this kid? Are they cutting a current player who’s been loyal? It’s all just really pathetic and disheartening to kids who do put in the work and deserve spots like this. Don’t get me started on the fact that he left his team prior to the seasons end! 👏🏻 way to teach your kid what it’s like to be a teammate. Talk about ENTITLED! Well you just f@@@ed up and made an a@@ out of yourself !!! What a clown

I have heard that some of the kids on the '14 IHC team (can't imagine it's more than 2) will be playing up next year so they'll be gone. I know they have a '15 who won't be able to play up again next year also.

It's one thing to move over to that team next season but seems strange to leave the team now, it's February.

Nobody from ihc 2014 is playing up next year full-time as far as I know. Maybe top two or three kids will be alternates for ihc 2013, this is possible. With TG and Eagles losing their top players ehf is going to be really weak at 2014 outside of ihc. So I can imagine top ihc kids wanting to play up next year. But I haven’t heard from the 2013 folks about 2014s joining the team.

Re: TG — IHC

I don’t know why ihc2014 would bring in a kid who shoots pucks at refs and who is not better than the upper half of their roster.
TG 2014 is known for lack of discipline, and now the head coach is going to be a cancer inside ihc. Bad for ihc, but who cares.

Re: TG — IHC

The kid on Jr bruins nat' elite so he's pretty good. I'm thinking it's to backfill the '15 who won't be able to play next year and the kid(s) who might possibly be playing up with the '13s.

Either way you'd think the EHF might want to try and keep teams somewhat evenly distributed but I guess they really don't care.

There’s another one on nat elite that is staying and one that would easily make it if his parents put any stock in the brick. Both much better players. Several other players on the team that are better as well. Fancy skater. Massive liability without the puck. Maybe he left with his kid because the charade ran it’s course.

Right, I'd say he is a top player on that team for sure. If you think otherwise you're just bitter.

Re: TG — IHC

If rushing the puck end to end 10 times a game and turning it over 9 times makes him the best…then you are right. Remember this is hockey not the Ice Capades. Far from the best HOCKEY player on the team.

I guess there are people who disagree with your assessment seeing how he made the Nat' elite team and the IHC elite 1st place fed team. Sounds like you have issues with the parent.

No doubt he's flashy. But who picked that National Elite team? Hopefully it never get's back to dad what many of the IHC parents and players have been saying about him and his son. Ideally everyone lives happily ever after at Merrimack, but my gut tells me they'll double down before long.

The Masters?

One of the JB coaches is also the IHC coach. He had to have ok'ed this I would think.

Re: TG — IHC

Definitely some strange correlation with the two JB coaches, the national elite team makeup and player movement. This would make for a riveting docuseries. :popcorn:

Not really. The masters have the final say. The best kids get picked, don't worry. The nat elite this team is also not the same this year as it was last year. The two TG kids are new to it, also some new BJE kids.

True. IHC parents will are in for a rude awakening. I give until November 2023 before they figure it out though.

Re: TG — IHC

Are you sure the kid is even going to IHC this year ?

Re: TG — IHC

Wait?! So confused! “made” the ihc elite team. That a joke! The dad talked I’m sure to the coaches and made some deal obviously well before the seasons over. That’s a crap move! Also I didn’t think at the ehf you could go to another elite team before a certain date so how is this all confirmed now.

I guess the kid is talented enough for IHC coaches to not care about the baggage he and his dad are bringing with them to the team. I had higher opinion of ihc 2014 group, but it turns out all orgs are the same in this regard.
