Yes, Lee Smith is Slimy, PERIOD If you think Lee Smith is "slimy" for getting a transfer or two a year, what do you think of the private schools St Thomas, Hill Murray, Holy Family, Blake, Benilde, Cretin and Breck recruiting hard each year? What would your word be for these coaches? Just...

“Good things” for you and your boy this year. I am a huge fan of that kid of yours, and I’ve never met him. 👏👏👏👏 Thank you so much for the nice comments Kniven, I will pass it along, or he is probably keeping an eye on this anyway, just to make sure my bitterness doesn't reappear. It's guys or gals...

Just send part 2 it’s not an affront to this community. Most of us already know. My personal opinion is I’m sorry. Probably more then you got from those coaches! Probably more than your son got....outside of the “envelope” I wish I could, but I was just reminded by the kid to not post anything...af...

It IS me...jk...could very well be.

Thanks for the comment if that is the case!

I have Part 2 ready, and would really love to share it with y'all...but after conferring with my son, who took the high road through it all, I will not be posting it. I have to explain to those of you who believe I am just a bitter dad, who thinks his kid is the best thing since sliced bread...I AM ...

I must know you Jeffy95, you are pretty witty

Correct, it's not!

Ken Pauly is an ass. Very few with argue with that. My daughters basketball team cut every senior last year and went 0-26, is on a 45 game losing streak but cutting every upper classemen will pay dividends down the road somehow they tell us. We cut every senior again We are. 0-2 this year and have ...

Could be...there are probably many though.

I believe this is a free country, and I have the right to speak my mind, whether it be anonymously, or front and center. Absolutely you do. If you don't care how bad you look as long as you make someone else look bad, have at it. I don’t he think he looks bad and I don’t see how he’s making anyone ...

Been there, done that.

There are definite plus's and minus's...right now, more minus's

And I promise you, he hopes it is later, rather than sooner...but I hear ya!

With so few high school players moving on to the next levels (Jr, D1, Pros), nearly everyone will have to stop playing competitively some time, eh? It might be best to cut your losses now rather than later. If someone isn't the superstar who would never get cut from any high school squad, then what...

Ditto, especially if he's taking a jr hockey route, that's a cut-throat environment X10

At least he will know for sure it because of performance, instead of any other factor right?

That's hilarious!!!

There are many other troubling traits this coach has, more to come in part 2. Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run There's still time to change the road you're on Seriously, dude, you ought to consider the high road here. It is the classier option and might be best. If you wa...

The biggest thing I've seen over the last several years is the lack of empathy some coaches (and many parents) have shown towards these kids getting cut For so many kids, it's truly the first time they didn't "make it" High School is stressful enough and to toss this at these young kids s...

Three thoughts pop into my mind. 1 - Ken Pauly said on a podcast last year, we don't go into coaching to disappoint kids. It's the opposite. For those where this is the end of their dream, it's now on to a new dream. (I'm paraphrasing. I think his comment is excellent.) 2 - Another reminder that Cu...

Thank you all for your comments, seriously.

I totally understand all of them, and have taken them in.

I believe if this kid wants it, he will get it. It is totally up to him.

Thanks again guys!

This is MMnHD's first post, so bear with me... It's that time of year where there a lot of disgruntled seniors, and the seniors family's. The politics of MN hockey is second to none. This post is meant for those on the losing end. Sure there are many underclassmen who also feel the pain, but at leas...
