I wonder whether Mrs. Obama looked at the previous 43 presidents and came to some conclusion about her son's chances to be in the White House.

Point: poor example

I'm new to this forum, but after reading some of the posts in this thread I felt like I needed to join the fray.

That is a crappy phrase, with all due respect.

You, coach Jaques, seem to think one should apply the same coaching strategies at the A squirt level that the A bantam coach applies in the state tournament. Most of us see that as silly thinking.

Go Wild.

hsticks - you are missing a big point. You said, " The topic of the thread is fair play at the "A" level" - wrong, the poster was talking about SQUIRTs. That is the difference. The experienced coaches recognizes that it is not as dire for the 9 and 10 year old, as you seem to thi...

I hope you didn't take your kid to Take Your Kid to Work day - it would be so sad for him/her to know that they could never be anything more than you are.



Just for the record, I have all the faith in the world that your kid, like any kid, can be whatever they set their mind and efforts to.

or, maybe, I disagree with all three of you.

It will be interesting to see how Hill finishes out the year. What do you think - was he playing poorly because he wasn't getting the ice time, or was he not getting the ice time because he was playing poorly? Legit question.

AAA summer hockey is completely watered down and anyone who wants to play, pretty much can...[/quote]

I agree with all three of you.

Say you get your Tier 1, now your hockey season extends (obviously \:D/ ) so - What happens to your spring sport? Gone! Tier 1 hockey is single sport mentality.

Question,

Anyone hear how Tom Pohl is doing?

http://www.mankatofreepress.com/sports/images_sizedimage_032011248/resources_photoview Here's the best I can do, so far... Yeah, those are ugly jersey's. Are those suppose to be flames on the sleeves? That kid on the ice looks to be in some serious pain. Look at his face. I think the "results&...

Oh, if only my kid could wear such an ugly jersey in the state tournament. Yeah, I would complain for sure.

Unfortunately, it sounds like a lot of youth hockey teams. Too many.

Bears 4 to Ponies 3

Bears earn #1 (east) seed to state.

is that rant "on the rocks?"

And make sure we recognize those meddling parents.[/quote]

What team does your son coach, I mean play for?

Bears over Raiders 4-3 in double overtime

A coach who "gets it"

Great to hear.[/quote]

I should also add - a parent who "gets it as well." Thanks to all of the volunteer coaches out there and the parents who support those who "get it." Both are valuable.

Great to hear.
