Only losers celebrate undeserved wins or rage over losses. Games are just another part of the development process, no different from practices. What truly matters is a coach’s ability to build a realistic development plan, implement effective tactics, and enforce them through meaningful interaction with the kids. A good coach earns respect by fostering positive rapport. Kids should not only want to follow the game plan but also be capable of executing it, understanding their roles, and making the right decisions on the ice.

Now, compare MT and ST over two seasons. MT started as the league’s underdog, with some kids who could barely skate. But their coaches focused on development, took an inventive approach, and built a competitive team where mutual respect exists between families and coaches.
ST, once a top team, is now falling apart. While there are some strong players (from yesterday’s game, I’d say 8, 17, 77, 29, and a solid goalie), the team looks completely disjointed. Some players try to work as a team, while others are selfish. No energy, no smiles—just coaches constantly yelling. And to top it off, the ST coach launched a missile at the referee. How can someone like that realistically expect respect from his players when he can’t even control his own emotions, let alone manage a group of individuals? A team like that has no future unless things change. Meanwhile, MT is gaining momentum and improving.

Interesting comment from MT parent obviously. From previous posts it does sound like MT complained about losing the game and claimed they actually won despite the score. So maybe time to reflect on what was written above.

Everyone knows this thread is no more than MB parents writing to themselves. Stroking each other's ego and pretending to be scholars on a sport they know nothing about. But wait, they read that one book which makes them now qualified.

MB parents are everywhere. Probably even you’re one of them. Actually the whole loop is filled with MOBsters past future or present.

Have you seen the ice-hockey player who visited the bank?
He said he wanted to give out

Let me guess….you guys “won” the game despite the scoreboard reporting a 3-2 loss (and a win for VR).
Another rink and another set of bad refs right? LMAO
The crumbling continues…
