I went there and really had a great time with my 10 year old. It was the first time that we were both students and expected to participate equally and as a team during an organized camp. He still talks about it, wants to go again. From my viewpoint, it was an incredible opportunity to get away and p...

I have coached mites for what would equate to nine seasons worth of mite skating. I have concluded that many parents of children who act the way you describe sit in the stands (if at all) and watch, without identifying that their kid is out of control. The worst behavior on the ice has been from kid...

In my seven years of association hockey, my family has run the table of experiences. We especially like the ones that created life long memories for our sons. It has been a blast to watch them grow and enjoy many things only found in association hockey. We have met some amazing people, some amazing ...

LP coached my son last year at Wayzata and I have nothing but good things to say about him. I have older children, so we have seen a lot of different coaches in a lot of different sports over the years. LP is by far one of the best coaches we have ever come across. He was enthusiastic, very positiv...

Boy you sound like just the thing these boards have been waiting for, a person that knows everything about hockey. What an idiot. Just who do you think will do the work required to insure YOUR kid has a place to play hockey. While I do not doubt there are board members that may have alterior motive...

Just because someone played professionaly does NOT mean they have the correct mentality for youth hockey. That is the issue at hand. LP had different ideas and his conduct and decisions were at odds with the mission of the association. He managed the bench like it was a pro team. That mentality is n...

This is the demise of District 281's sports environment. It is just one more sign that all is not well for hockey in that district. The failed referendum will mean a combining of the high schools sports teams (cooper and armstrong). Other sports will be eliminated. Cooper Youth Hockey Association ex...

A few of you seem to have zero thought for the kids. Oh, that's right, youth hockey is mostly about the parents, the coaches and those who seek power, purpose, self esteem and control. Let the kids finish the season. Then and only then, MN Hockey needs to take responsibility for its lack of control/...
