If this new Marketing Campaign doesn't work, what's next?? Changing the name again, maybe to The Super Duper Really Elite Platinum Miracle Program??

Now that sounds exciting

[nhl'er]

Can you please name the coaches at each level please?

The comparisons link wasn't active when I tried. Now how am I supposed to compare this program with the Wolfpack?

For those who's computers are running Internet Explorer v. 6 (IE6), there is a coding issue that is being corrected. People running newer versions of IE do not have this problem. Thanks for the post, we're on it.

I have Firefox and it worked for me, but still no coaching information.

Live near might be interested. Who coaches, 98, 01,02, u10/U12's.

[MrBoDangles]

Live near might be interested. Who coaches, 98, 01,02, u10/U12's.

I remember when I looked in the spring that most of the coaches played D-1 and the other two played D-2. I also remember they had an advisory staff with some pretty impressive names.
They seem to be about development not money and I have to agree (website) that it's hard to beat the training they are bringing in.

Is this program partly funded?

That's all well and good, but they're doing their program a disservice by not responding to the repeated requests to name the coaches. They're not being up front. Is this the way to pull people into your program. If they don't have coaches in place, fine, say that. But nobody in their right mind would sign up for a program not knowing who the coach was going to be. For a person that very well could be interested, I'm already not getting good vibes from this program. All we want is some info. Just one persons opinion.

[nhl'er]

Totally agree..They promote their program but won't answer the number one question that most parents will have as a basis for considering the program. What are they hiding? Don't have them identified yet? potentially fathers of new recruits? Program is already smelling fishy!

Not involved in this program, but before you blast them, has anybody called them (or at least e-mailed them) rather than asking on the forum (where they may not be monitoring)?

It's ok buddy....... try to take a deep breath and relax! If you're mad that they have not answered your question simply wash them from your memory bank.

Try to think happy thoughts and look at the Legacy and STE because they're not out to get you. Can you say skitzo!?

[hockey_is_a_choice]

At the bottom of the HB Miracle Gold web site is a "contact" link. I clicked on the link and it took me to the Super Rink staff page. If you want to know who the Miracle coaches are, I suggest you hit the link to the email address to Roger Stawski (he's listed under "Administration" as the CFO) and ask him directly.

Here's the link: http://www.nscsports.org/news-info/contact_us.htm

I'm mad because they won't answer my question? Ok, I guess that's how you read it. Calling me a skitzo because I, like a few others on here keep asking a question that nobody will answer. That's real classy. I'll chalk it up as you having a bad day.

You have a program that posts on here to promote their program and won't answer the first question posters have for them. I don't see anything wrong with asking that question again.

As for them not them not monitoring the forum. I'm pretty sure they're monitoring it, because they were monitoring their first post of a few days earlier. That's when they said on here, if you have questions, please pm me. Which I did, and received no response.

Hockey Over 40 has inquired several times, and under at least another alias to pry this guarded secret from the programs brass, so with such mounting pressure it is clear that "The People Have Spoken", so here we go...

1998's - Ted Nolan
1999's - Dean Praise
2000's - Fred "The Fog" Shero, umm... still checking availability
2001's - Jacque L...
2002's - Coached by committee, only the most knowledgeable and overbearing to be considered. 3 References from past two summer programs required.

Miracle Gold is putting the information out there as it becomes available. As another stated, the current coaches in the existing program are well qualified. There will be changes too. Final coaching commitments are being sought, and hopefully announced as early as next week. I have not seen coaching lists (or program prices???) from others in the AAA marketplace yet but I can assure "The People" that the Miracle GOLD program, coaches and value will be great. Only 1 PM recieved so far in 2500+ views into the program.

Wow! Sorry for asking a legitimate question. Didn't mean to cause such an uproar. I'm glad you find this so hilarious. I like a good joke as well as the next guy.

A simple they have not been finalized yet, would have been a great response. It looked and sounded like it might be worth looking into. I really was just trying to find out who was coaching. If your really serious about opening a dialog, pm me I'll gladly discuss things.

You just need to amp down a bit. I tried to tell you what I knew and you jumped all over me for it
You obviously have a negative and COMPETITIVE motive to be putting so much time into this.
My wife called and got a couple questions answered first try

Trying to get info for your kid? Who do you think you're kidding?

[hockeyover40]

Bo, I apologize if I came across as jumping all over you. That was not my intent. I just couldn't figure out why someone wouldn't answer the question. Getting your opinion was fine, but it didn't answer the question.

I don't have a ulterior motive. Of course I know of the Miracle program, but I don't know these people and harbor no hatred or animosity toward them.

The question has been answered, and I will patiently await the finalization of the coaches.

[HB Miracle GOLD]

The I.T. Department has cleaned up the coding issues. Older versions of IE and Firefox are now able to open all links at www.miraclegold.org
Thanks for the feedback, we want you to be informed.
We are also adding a 2011 Player Profile through the website. This will assist in getting information about players (current or prospect) to the appropriate personnel.
Look for this new feature early next week.

Just a couple of thoughts on the Miracle program. The whole Miracle program never really had any success (exception '00 a couple years ago, but they're all gone). Now you're trying to dilute it even more and come up with elite teams? The Miracle couldn't come up with good teams, how are they going to come up with elite teams? How many coaches has there been at the '99 level since it started? I count roughly five in four years -- including interim. There is one name that is behind a lot of this. I can't really mention his name, but he's not a fair, honest man. Why do you think that program has been in a constant state of turnover since its inception? This guy isn't even a hockey guy. He's an overzelous dad who is living the dream through his son. Again I ask, if they had trouble putting together "open" teams, how in the world are they going to have "elite" teams and "open" teams?

I'd do a little digging and asking a lot of questions before I put my kid in that program.

Well said and couldn't agree with you more, I'm assuming the Kingpin you are talking about is the same classy guy that gave a ref an elbow to the chest after an Easton Cup game??

Anyways, you're observation of the Miracle program could also be used with many AAA programs, lets get real here the majority of these programs are B level talent and B level coaching at best.

These programs are one thing and one thing only, its about filling the rosters to make money!!

Unfortunately, I wasn't lucky enough to see "the man" at Miracle go postal when a kid on the other team took a shot after the whistle. I understand that, under the circumstances, there was no way that that kid that shot the puck was going to change the outcome of the game. This guy is not a good guy. He'd make an excellent used car salesman over on Lake Street.

I kind of feel bad for the rest of the folks he's bringing down with him. On paper, they should be dressing good teams. Hell, they have everything at their disposal. I can't argue about the price. That's a good deal. But you get what you pay for. I promise he will find a way to screw this up. I'm absolutely dumbfounded he's even involved. I wonder how much of his "work" time is spent on manipulating, tweaking, going behind backs, spends time on the phone, making promises he cannot keep, all while he's supposed to be in a position there at the SR. There has to be some kind of a conflict there, or maybe it's just a free-for-all over there and he just does what he wants and is accountable to no one.
