These facts are facts refs have it out for a few teams and the MT are top of the list. Games are meaningless until playoffs. Better have some better refs.
Just admit you guys are a very average AA team. Also you guys don't have skaters so you have to clutch and grab to slow the faster kids down. My advice, get the kids in power skating this off season instead of blaming the refs.
What did the skeleton drive to the hockey game?
A Zam-boney!

MT beat the ST. Don’t care what the scoreboard said !!
Bad refs.
Everytime MT loses it's somebody else's fault.. it's hilarious that you guys walk around like gods gift to hockey but reality is you have 6-7 really decent AA Players and 7 bad players. You are not good.
Bad coaching, Bad parent group, bad team
Did you see the refs? They are always against us. Lost half our games due to poor refs not calling things against us.
Shocker MT blames the refs again. Maybe if your coach kept his mouth shut and stopped belittling refs you'd get a call. Or maybe little Tommy just needs to go down to A. Refs don't cost teams games.
What do a dentist and hockey coach have in common?
Winning or losing a single game means nothing. A lucky bounce or small mistake can change everything. Sports development is a marathon, not a sprint. 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.
