How disappointed you must be in your son - I mean, not punching a coach in the face.... Well, it seems that you are doing a fine job helping him understand how the world really works. Get angry, punch people in the face and always actively pray for misfortune to befall others. Great job sir, And we wonder why this great sport is in the shape it is.
I have to agree with the guy, If more people did this earlier in life then arrogant guys like MA wouldn’t exist. You’re right, regardless of being lied to and treated like $hit he should have smiled and said thank you, how are you people so soft? Get a sack and stand up to people who do you wrong, there is nothing wrong with having a spine. I always hear “let your kids fight their own fights” but what you really mean is to make sure your kid complies no matter the situation.
You are right. only 2 options exist. Punch people in the face OR be spineless and totally compliant. The reactions of a child!
I’m always looking to better myself so give me other options? How do you handle these type of situations? What’s the 3rd or 4th option.
You teach your kid to do what grown ups do, what you and I do in our lives/jobs. You ask for direct and specific feedback, make adjustments, work hard to make improvements. If that doesn't work or the situation is toxic you make a move/ look for another job. These kids work really hard at this level, my grandson certainly does. We try and explain you don't always get what you want but you never point fingers. You have to be responsible for you. That being said, you stand up for yourself by improving your situation, even if that means you find another team /coach to play for. Just my opinion.
Dear God,
Please let Mike Anderson lose every game his team plays. May it be chaos and the worst hockey experience for him, his team, and his family. I am not a praying human but I do believe in karma, and this little mani****tive man deserves the same treatment he has dished out to young aspiring hockey players over the past few years. He hides after games because he’s a weasel he has no integrity and it’s about time karma is served. No man is allowed to destroy young people’s confidence and live a happy life.
Amen
Who’s Mike Anderson?
Embarrassingly I did not know who this man is but after a quick search he is he GM and Head Coach of the Jr Bruins and Head Coach of the Minutemen Flames Pee Wee team. After searching this board for him also seems to be the most hated man/coach in MA. Is he really this much of an azz? Lots of posts going back a few years of him treating kids bad, at least the Jr kids. From what I can gather from the USPHL roster pages, he takes 50-60 kids each year for his team and cuts 20 to 30 of them, seems like a Dick move or is that just common in MA Jr Hockey?
Eagles lose to Pittsburgh Penguins 6-3
MFF lose Adirondack Wings 8-1
Islanders lose to Philadelphia Flyers 6-2
Flames lose to Detroit Redwings 4-1
NE prospects lose to NS winter club 6-2
Eagles have the look of a team that can make a run. Good goaltending, depth, well coached. It’s a crapshoot up there because basically, after round 1, u lose and ur done
How do you waste a year in youth hockey? Did your child not attend practices or was he not allowed to play in games?
I would think that simply by showing up to both your kid was developing on some level. You do hear of Dad coach stories where they're only focused on their own child. Is that the case here? If the coaches are actively involved with the kids and the team then how is it a waste?
South shore didn't qualify for the q; at least not in the aaa division.
