Nothing constructive here. A lot of people posting crap about stuff they don't know anything about.

So you're saying that MM is not the team to go to from TRW. Is Amal that bad ? How does someone become a washed up firefighter.

Racist comment!

Do you understand what the word racist means? Nothing was racist there. Unless firefighters are a race

You read stuff like this and just wonder what people's motives are. So your kid got cut, you have to go and trash a guy anonymously? It's February and people are getting bad news and so come and lash out. Not just an MM thing, see it everywhere and every age group - really pathetic

Totally agree, this is life, you got cut just move on. Maybe take some accountability rather then come on here and bash kids or parents. Its no hard feelings its just hockey.

I get it. Your kid is hurting and you as a parent hurts.

Amal’s coaching philosophy seems to be less about development and more about proving a point—at the expense of 10-year-olds. Benching kids for entire games? That’s not coaching; that’s ego. If the goal is to develop players, how exactly does keeping them glued to the bench help? At this age, it’s about learning, not running a glorified beer league where only his favorites see ice time.

Accountability? Sure—let’s hold coaches accountable, too. Parents invest time, money, and trust in these programs, expecting fair development opportunities, not politics disguised as “coaching decisions.” If someone’s going to play dictator with a minor hockey bench, expect people to talk about it.

Not about a kid getting cut—this is about a coach making decisions that do more harm than good for young athletes.

TRW for sure, as you can’t be any weaker than now. Heard they’re getting a new Joe Venuto. Don’t know if he’s good though.

TT will also be better under new coach with new kids

MM will decline a bit, as best kids will go elsewhere and many kids don’t go well with the coach and simply decline offers

Don’t know a lot about Joe Venuto, his name pops up from time to time in different teams. In my opinion just an average hockey coach from Toronto. Maybe others can add something to this.

Maybe above average. Anthony Cirelli names him as his favourite minor hockey coach in his Juniors interview. That's gotta count for something.

Did you know Cirelli played AA hockey until U18 & was cut from his HS hockey team in grade 9?

Keep chasing the AAA dream.. let your kid love hockey first.. the obsession will take over naturally.
