NOBODY is as awful as the new guy. CS is just a tool, that knows nothing about hockey. Joe wasn’t all that bad, he started off with his heart in the place, I think he only went wrong by not keeping CS on a leash and letting him run rampant. Over the years you just lose your passion for it.. I think that what happened to JB.. him and his wife are lovely people, just nothing left for minor hockey. It happens.

The coaches appointed during the new president’s tenure have been terrible.

Agreed! But who do they have to choose from? Sounds like nobody else wants to coach these days.

Fatalism doesn’t work. If you go in to this trying to take the best of whatever applies - you are a loser and don’t add value to any organization.

A leader would identify the mould they are trying to fill, and look for the people that could fill that gap identified by the leadership.

One requires brainpower and competence, the other: a heart beat.

What you are saying is 100% true. Board members of associations should be finding, attracting, developing and keeping good coaches.

In reality, they are/should be picking the best candidate who applied. I'm not sure how involved you are with your association but I can tell you it's very difficult these days getting volunteers and you will take anyone who can pass the VSC and take the HC training.

Throughout the year, board members should be engaging with parents/coaches/kids/volunteers, etc to see if there are other coaching options out there and available. The good coaches don't usually move organizations once they find a good one.

With open borders, you may stumble upon some new coaches but be wary of why they are moving organizations.

At the end of the day, if you run an association that people want to come to, you will find good coaches easily.

This is exactly how it is executed with AMHA. Our Board is out there, watching games, talking to parents, talking to coaches, talking to kids, recruiting the next wave of volunteers that our true leaders in making Tigers GREAT as Tony would say. Coach interview list is extensive to ensure we set every tyke, house league and Rep team for an incredible minor hockey experience that will include championships at the Rep level.

This is the biggest crock of shyte I've ever heard. The only the board members are doing, is having expensive dinners on the parents' dime.

They’re on the board for all the wrong reasons, and caring about kids is probably the last thing on their mind.

Looks like the only thing they’re building is their restaurant loyalty points, true elite-level scouting… for steak specials.
