Whoever in the Don Mills organization protecting the 2013 Head Coach from being removed from his position on the U12[Minor Peewee] AAA hockey team and allowing the payments from parents to the Head Coach and to the organization for him to remain in his position is a cancer to minor hockey, especially to the families of the East End Toronto, and are yet another black eye on the Greater Toronto Hockey League.
For anyone with the capacity to do so, start asking questions to help right the ship.

Reid Acton, Don Mills Flyers U15 (2010) head coach and owner of Beast Athletics and Bob Acton Sports, used his reputation in the community and within the Don Mills organization to keep Michael Hollander in his position as Head coach of the U12 (2013) Don Mills Flyers team.
Michael Hollander has not been successful as Head Coach with the 2013 age group for the past three years. He has struggled to stay out of the bottom six. He has lost some of the most skilled players to other teams every year for past three years, He has alienated every single Toronto family, mostly Toronto East End families. Michael Hollander has been suspended by the Greater Toronto Hockey League multiple times and expelled from sanctioned tournaments for cheating. Reid Acton’s protection of Michael continued to set this age group up for failure and allow wealthy families from outside Toronto to influence ice time, roster selection and team budget without consequence. All of this at the expense of the 2013 players and goalies he has coached for three years.
There are serious questions on sponsorships, paid training selection and training facility contracts for the return of how the team is managed and developed. Most people seem to be aware of the individuals with money and its disgusting. Reid Acton, Michael Hollander’s friend and employer, tried to save Michael’s reputation through all of this.
Has Reid Acton succeeded in keeping Michael Hollander in his head coaching position for the long term or is the Don Mills organization back on course with the U12 age group?
