A new place to talk about minor hockey in North America & Around the World. Jump in to the Minor Hockey Talk forum and discuss everything about Hockey in Canada & Hockey in the USA
This happens all the time. They peaked 2 yrs ago and now they are just average players, fine hockey players but average.
What came first the chicken or the egg?
Why does it seem so hard for people to do the right thing in children’s hockey?
What came first?
Dave warren came first - he wormed his way into the organization then hand picked his buddies (who are all just like him) - they are all extremely unethical - behind the scenes he and his picks face accusations of everything from sexual harassment to player abuse. Daves only objective was to get jw a job in the O - he hand picked great teams for him from day one and thought the 09s were his ticket to glory - until jw ruined them.
People like dave and his coach picks are everything thats wrong with hockey - and guess what they will thrive in open borders. Good luck hockey world!
Serious question? How is this Dave’s fault? CL and Williams picked the coaches.
Serious question? Lol! You know the answer dave- but ill play along …
Dave hand picked little johnny for the 09s 2 years ago. He handed jw this team on a silver platter because they were predicted to be one of emcs top teams - it would make jw look like he knew what he was doing as the head coach of a winning team with multiple draft picks. Then boom little johnny starts working his way up to the big leagues! For those of you who dont know - emc typically gives a coach 2 years with same team. So dave knew all he had to do was hang in there to hand off the team in bantam and hed be assured to get it for their draft year wether dave was there or not. The second he handed off the team to jw he quit - f-ing over the board and leaving them with no coach mentor for the year.
He didnt count on how bad of a coach jw would turn out to be - he ruined the team and the kids chances of top draft spots.
Seems like a fair trade dave - f over 20 kids so your little bender gets a crack at the O.
Makes sense why every firefighter in london hates your guts.
Don’t forget RM, CD, CN allll working their board positions to keep their kids and buddies in place.
This is who wanted JW to keep their kids on top.
They messed with more than just the kids on the team. Messed around alot of other good kids who should be playing emc but aren’t cause of politics and bs.

None of them wanted jw - he was a predetermined choice.
I know for a fact jw hates at least 2 of those families - maybe all.

EMC is exactly where they should be based on their players. This coach blaming and shaming is simply coming from certain parents of kids not playing. That's all it is. Very mediocre group of players with no studs... what did you expect. EMC and London... very similar to say the least,
Top couple players very comparible with 10 London being better
16 and 7 EMC = 10 and 17 London = give London the win on this one due to 10 being better .

Bad coaches ruin teams all the team - especially at emc.
Parent coaches ruin teams by over playing their terrible kids.
Non parent coaches ruin their team when they play favorites or are for sale - i havent seen a non parent coach at elgin that wasnt for sale yet.

Even if the parent coach’s kid is decent they don’t deserve to be overplayed and given more opportunities. This is the problem with Elgin and it is on the board. Coaches are allowed to treat the team like they personally own it and there are no checks and balances to ensure they are doing right by the kids. They could have an exceptional program but the selfish coaches lead to selfish players and a failed development strategy. There are a lot of organizations making sure they have the best benches possible for development, you have a choice now.
