Since it seems that Twitter is the new media go to site, I feel that this info is credible enough to post on a discussion forum while staying civil. This morning, Lets Play Hockey tweeted :
"Sources say Elk River HS boys' hockey head coach Tony Sarsland is the victim of a “witch hunt” by past/future ER parents."
"All of the players, their parents & much of the community back Sarsland. The entire team was at his house following the ER-Maple Grove game."
"The investigation has yielded no new evidence. Could the school reinstate Sarsland as coach still this season?"
"Stay tuned for future developments."
Personally as an East fan I am not happy this is going on now, it will just give ER more motivation and fire in the playoffs, and with a goalie like Frankie that could be dangerous.

Re: New Sarsland Info
The reporting from Lets Play Hockey is not usually so decisive. Interesting that they are choosing to play a role in this issue.EHSHack wrote:Since it seems that Twitter is the new media go to site, I feel that this info is credible enough to post on a discussion forum while staying civil.

He's getting towards the end, it has been said that this or next year is probably his last. Rather than wasting his time/breath dealing with all of this, I'm guessing he was sick of all the hoopla and decided to pack it in.supertacks wrote:If this were all true, there is no way/reason why he would have resigned so abruptly.
