I put Armstrong on here, any further info on the armstrong staff? Seems like weird timing. I've heard rumors that Cooper and Armstrong will coop next year, and there is some info to indicate that:

There is also an article on the MGHCA site as well:

Looks like St. Louis Park has a posting on the MSHSL website looking for a Girls Head Hockey Coach.

I know a lot of these coaches who have stepped away this year (not been fired, stepped away on their own)#1 reason is the parent BS. Their kid is not being treated fair, they should be first line, why is she on Varsity and my daughter is on JV, harassing e-mails, you made my daughter cry by correcting her play infront of everybody, told you are a horrible coach etc... you can say what you want that it is part of the job, if you got that much BS at work you would walk away as well. There are some great coaches who are giving up coaching because of parents, what needs to change is parents, parents need to truly look at where there daughters abilities are and support them for who they are, not what you think they should be in hockey. I see it at every age level for both boys and girls hockey, isses made by parents to only try and benifit their player, parents just be a parent and support your player and the programs. When parents realize this good coaches will stick around an run great hockey programs.

Do I dare ask, what is the reason...I agree none of my business; but curiosity is getting the best of me.

Experienced coaches, dedicated coaches, that are there for the benefit of the players and their development as individuals and as competitors for their future careers. If there are situations that need to be addressed than it is the players right to go to the coach and ask for explanations. But again, these high school coaches need to be responsible, dedicated, and considerate of their players, and when things are unethical someone needs to step in, and from my experience and listening around the state there are many issues that go unresolved leaving what should have been a rewarding experience leaves players frustrated and very unhappy.

Bill Coleman wrote:I used to work in the newspaper biz as a reporter. Just like in coaching, you have to have thick skin and understand how many nut cases are really out there in the world. In every edition of the paper someone would read a quote or sentence backwards, or the exact opposite way everyone else in the world read it. They would call and wine. All you can do is pat those callers on the head, feel sorry for how their mind seems to work, be polite and move on. "That's unfortunate you see it that way maam." Coaches need to do the same to "those" certain parents and not let them bother them. It's my belief, at the high school level, coaches need to make more of an effort to break from the youth hockey model, where parents are involved in everything. There needs to be a cord cut and maybe its the coaches job to help parents do that. Everyone might be better off.[/list]

This isn't as dramatic as it sounds. The staff no longer exists because the team no longer exists. The current Armstrong staff has to apply for the position like anybody else because there will be a new team, the Robbinsdale co-op. And it sounds like they're going to apply.

I hope it wasn't the current group of parents that drove a stand-up guy like Tim Morris out of EP. If so, wait until the next coach gets a load of the crop of U14 parents who are coming down the pike. Good luck with that!
