The entitlement is what gets me
Insisting that all teams adopt equal icetime and removing choice for others that favour a meritocracy
No one is forcing these parents to bring kids to playoff games
There are 8 AA teams done for the year now, watching from home
Either have your kid join them or tell him to suck it up and learn a life lesson.
Then, next year, stop trying to climb the ladder and find a new place to play at a lower level. That might actually give your kid a chance to excel.
Coming from a place of compassion I sympathize with kids who are behind and parents who don't have the hockey knowledge to identify that their kids don't belong. That said it's playoff time and if your kid isn't getting a regular shift you should relocate them to A or select. It's not rocket science. Embrace the warm slice of humble pie and get out of the way. Life isn't fair. Get used to it.
Third line kids belong, just as much as third and fourth line players belong in pro hockey. They play an important role and are key to teaching the game of hockey. Do you know what doesn't belong? Idiot parents who don't understand the game.
