I know the players in either system will hate this idea because of pride, but the opportunity to play for a competitive team would ultimately keep top players "in the system". Irondale could save some kids from going TG while Mounds View would save some kids from going to Hill. Thoughts?
Unless there is a terrible problem with numbers, there is no reason to co-op (isn't Irondale already with another school? St. Anthony perhaps?). Both schools have JV and Varsity programs correct?

Technical reason... no. Practical reason... yes.

This is not about any of that. I'm more worried that my kid is losing his love for the game. I think most of the parents are concerned about the here and now. We have never interferred with a coach of any sport in our lives. No phone calls, no emails, nothing- but these kids need help now. They are worried about there high school careers- some have a few games left, but many have another year or more left there. These kids deserve more. This coach has no kids and has never coached kids before MV. He can't relate, motivate, guide, make good decisons, gain respect, they don't understand him and he doesn't understand them...........................the list goes on. He may be an okay guy, he's just not the right one for the job. Who doesn't get this.

PARENT 2 you have (hit the nail right on the head) the coach although a good person isnt the person for the Job and the players want the change before they change the way they feel about the game

I will not even give him the good guy credit. Good guy and at the same time he will cut the heart out of a kid. He has to go.

You guys are harsh! My guess is that the people on here are parents that kids aren't getting playing time or got cut. I wonder how the players (the ones that matter most) really feel

based on the coments, these are varsity parents. The varsity is the group that is most unhappy from what I understand.

ok who EXACTLY "REALLY MATTERS" the seniors,,the juniors,,,the J V soon to be varsity,,, lets here it

all players matter. Any coach that does not understand that is headed for failier.

I am not a parent of a kid who was cut or that doesn't get to play. I am a varsity parent of a team that have only won 1 game in the month of January. I'm not positive on that- but I think I think Roseville is the only game we won.

Wisdeuy- just out of curiosity who are the ones 'that really matter'?

Why do parents in our area always blame the coach?

Always easier to point the finger to someone else. This will possibly be the second coach in a row that the parents not the players run out. If the players don't like the guy its as easy as going to the AD. Let the players decide

You ask me what players really matter and yes all in the program and even the little guys dreaming of playing one day, but when you are bashing a guy for his attitude torward his players I would say the ones that have/are playing for him. They are around him 6 days a week and now what is really going on at practice, the locker room, and behind closed doors. But Yes as a head V coach you have to care about every one from mites to V.

I think most of the people that forced him out are long gone or their kids never made the high school team. Ask some of the WB players about the recent game. The one I spoke with said MV top defense line were horrible, they let in 6 goals. Last time they played it was a one goal game, and WB scored on an empty net w/ seconds to go. That was this season, but oh so long ago.

That's the problem right there, you think which is good, however you have no idea what your talking about. Then you come on here and people read what you have to say and get the entirely wrong idea. I'm sorry this is coming off so strong but your statements are entirely false and made up. The only truth is that Nitti was forced out by a few parents running to the AD and complaining 4 years ago.

I can't believe some of the posts I am reading. Did some of you actually attend school ? If you did, you skipped English class. Please.......preview your posts for grammer. Let's end the banter and speculation about the kids. They are all good kids and have earned the right to much better and far more experienced coaching and discipline.

The talent level isn't the highest, but the work ethic is certainly evident.
The boys just need someone behind the bench that has some hockey sense.

Quite frankly, unless the AD (Robert Madison) at MV is completely oblivious to what is happening in one of the flagship programs at this school, he is probably making plans for a change in coaching. I understand he is a very observant AD. This couldn't slip by him.

Its not just his aditude toward the players its his decision making and coaching ability. To your other statement (let the players decide) how should they do this,, a vote in the locker room perhaps....and how does a player avoid possible backlash from their decision in the future years should the coach remain??? THIS IS WHY THE PARENTS ARE ACTING ON THIS

What makes you think a high % of the current players want him out? trust me when I say a lot of programs have a couple kids unhappy. The AD is probably not making any plans. What makes you think they won't turn it around? Lets support the team! From all the post I've seen I would have the Juniors go because one parent on here states he cuts them as seniors anyways so no need to worry about backlash. I can only guess whats going to go on this board if they end up with a lose on Thursday. For the sake of the players and coaches I hope they win. Sorry Woodbury but I can't take anymore of seeing this stuff. I'm not sure the coach will be going anywhere. If he does I feel sorry for who ever takes the job. He would have to be some what insane.

I agree with support the team all the way. I don't think anyone disputes that point. I think we all want what is best for our own kids and their teammates. Many of them have played together for years. They are good kids and parents have it in their DNA to defend and protect their kids. It doesn't help when there are parents that don't get along and then it trickles down from home to the kids and to rink and locker room. I think the parents at Moundsview want good things for everyone involved. This has just been a rough month. Let's hope everyone comes to play and coach on Thursday. Go Mustangs.
