Yeah right. Well you fail for not remaining an impartial observer. I'm sure that project will be completely unbiased and a great piece of journalism.

Either that or you are a mom with a kid that hasn't signed yet.

Why a mom? Don't think there are crazy dads out there?

When is my contract coming?? Do I ask the coach or the GM of the organization? Can parents sign multi-year deals? I bet that's coming soon.... Add that to your research project--multi-year youth hockey contracts-- Which will be the first organization to do that one????

not us...

Thats because the I-LAN-DUH's implode every year!

Islanders don't implode...they just get rid of the kids who can't keep up...in this case sounds like your kid

Is it the kids that can't keep up or the parents...

I would say you have drank the Kool-Aid but then it occurred to me that probably is not the drink of choice for an I-LAN-DUH. My guess is it would the Pirate's Grog. Drink it up but be careful. The more Grog you drink the worse the eyesight until that scurvy ridden pirate sneaks up behind you and cuts your kid from the I-LAN-DUH's with his rusty old Cutless...ARRRR Matey

Maybe I will just coach that way my kid doesn't get cut.

LOL - yes, in fact if most of the kids who play didn't have daddy as a coach they would have been cut a long time ago.

FACT!

Look at the EHF. See how many coaches each team has. That's how many spots should be available!

Thats alot of spots! Imagine how much better the hockey would be without all those benders throwing sand in the gears!
