Sometimes life sucks and Mommy and Daddy can’t always fix it? I’d go somewhere in that range.

What is wrong with the world today? This is a group of self righteous mommies & daddies that demand entitlement for their little "Johnny" over hockey? Take responsibility and set an example to your kids that sometimes the whole team will suffer when management makes a mistake and didn't follow the rules & regulations that govern hockey. Afterer all, the team as a whole includes players, coaches, assistants, trainers and managers. You are all one.

Clerical misunderstandings happen all the time…
If your passport information isn’t correct & you spend money on a vacation only to get denied at the border on the way to your destination, it won’t matter how much time/effort & expense you put into that vacation. Incorrect information has a cost.

The parents/players/org & others need to learn from this, hopefully it makes everyone more mindful, preventing problems like this from happening in the future.

Sounds like the Rattlers will still make playoffs- if the team is strong, as the amount of wins indicates- then they should make a good playoff run, potentially incited by the denial of the wins that were forfeited on the record.

Push through the playoffs, don’t let what was taken away from the players take away from what can be won in the playoffs- best of luck to the players!

They're about to go tumbling down the rankings and it will impact the other teams that they have wins over because now they won't be the high ranked #5 in Ontario team. Will be interesting to see the new rankings next week.

So the Rattlers dropped form 5th place to 6th place in the rankings, even after all the forfeits.
Well that was a big tumble!

MHR doesn’t count forfeited games, so it’s not affecting that much

So why all the dramatic stuff…website, petition, media, letters? What a ridiculous group of individuals. Blaming the GTHL for their own failures and mistakes. This needs to just go away.
