I voted Yes on conflict of interest. Simply trying to give an honest answer to an honest question. That said, Andy and Dave are two of the state's best coaches. They are very dedicated and extremely fair. CC hockey should be thanking their lucky stars to have them and have them for free. Developmen...

I think 15 skaters is the number. 3 groups of 5 skaters makes for the best practices and drills. You can't even run some drills with only 4 D never mind if one is sick or hurt. It's a long season and the job is to develop more players for the highest level. People suggesting 13 skaters aren't suppo...

I'm guessing every association could make a long list of possible and actual conflicts of interest in the tryout process. Its the job of the board to minimize these and have enough diverse opinions involved so one voice doesn't overpower the others. LilG, disagree with you though on two things you ...

If you are looking for fair, you are in the wrong sport. I have been dealing with similar situations since my playing days and now with my boys. In our association there is an influx of new players every year. 2nd year bantams can transfer in because they are changing school buildings in their old ...

As posted earlier, a COI exists. After reading more of your posts, I don't see any issues that cause me concern. You mention team selection - Everyone know who the top end players are, I would suspect those kids are taken on the top team no matter where they play or go to school. Next rung of playe...

I don't agree. But it's also not my own association, and I'm just one guy. You say the other parents fear "retaliation" if they speak up. What exactly does that mean? And will your son be retaliated against? Please explain. No worries. Open discussion. I see this as a major issue and needing to be ...

"allowed to profit" This tells me a lot. First of all its called the free enterprise system. Hopefully they are making a good profit. They are also taking a big risk and there are no guarantees on profits. The local associations benefit from BA being such a strong program with top instructors. Soun...

Yes, there is a conflict of interest. Many things in our society have a conflict of interest, just ask Eliot Spitzer! :lol: Financial Services, Medical field, politics just to name a few....

I know one thing, you definitely don't want qualified people involved in coaching and player development in your youth program. :roll: Have a few hockey dads volunteer instead. I'm sure they'll get similar results. SC- In regards to the CCHA. Believe me. They need all the experience they can get. I...
