Why do parents come on this forum, anonymously, and plug their boys? Is this a new place that D1 and NHL scouts come to see who's doing well? Do they not think that when you look at all of their posts you can't figure out who they are? It's okay to be proud, but put your name with it if you're that proud. Don't hide behind your screen name and then email the administrator when someone calls you out. Please people if this board is to be a place to come and get good information, then parents should,nt be giving scouting reports about their own offspring!!! [-X

A. Who made you the High School Hockey Forum Police?
B. What proof do you have that parents are doing what you say?

I have been comming to this site for over two years. My son plays hockey, but is years away from being on the High School team, if he makes it. If he does make it and this site is still around, I don't know if I'll talk about him or not. He may be a great player and I'll have things to discuss. He may be just an average player and may get no mentions. Or he could be a not so good player that I may have to defend. But either way, there are no rules and nobody that can stop anybody from talking about any player as long as it is in good taste. So if you don't like it, read a different post and forget about it! Or here's a better choice, don't post anything unless you have some positive or at least tasteful or intelligent things to discuss. This is not one of them! All the posts from you, about 8 of them just seem to be taunting Hill Murray and you talking up Tartan. By the way, you were way off on that as well weren't you! Before I even signed up, I read hundreds of posts to see what this site was all about and if I wanted to be part of it. After realizing what a postive site this was with great topics that were tasteful and handled with class (for the majority). The post that bother me, I ignore or reply in a taseful manor. Everbody has thier opinion. That's what this is for. Nobody has to agree with anybody's opinion, but should be done nicely and again tasefully. I could keep going, but I hope you get my point and end here!
