I know this may be more pertinent to the Girls Hockey board, but Marvin did play boys hockey in our state, and with all the talk about coaches being run out of town by parents, I thought it would be of interest.

Here's an article from The Rink Live by Jess Myers. The Strib has a similar story today. I'm not sure if membership is required to view the link, but in short, David Martin sued a bunch of parents over some unfounded allegations. From the article linked below:

"This week, documents filed in Roseau County indicate Marvin was the clear winner in an out-of-court settlement of the defamation case he brought against six individuals in Warroad, with all parties offering written apologies, and one family making a sizable donation to charity to settle the matter."

Here's a link to the full article:

Glad to see things got cleared up, and being a old retired coach myself and hearing things said behind my back, I'm glad to see then stick it to those parents a little. I can't imagine what its like now days to be coaching a high school team
