Based on the last T-birds comment from the weekend results, they should start booking their hotel rooms now.
Won't matter where its held, NSWC will win.
Agree. Same with the Langley and Semiahmoo teams from the start of the year. They are now very average and may fall even lower. Having staying power for the second half of a season is what counts. Some of these high ranked kids look like they are giving up and don't show well at all.

I see they are doing OK. But watching this team I seriously don't see much elite talent.
Surrey had a win last night against South Delta score was 3-2. One SD kid went crazy and had 4 game misconducts. They said he has done this before. Why is nothing being done about this. Someone will likely be injured before long and the parents aren't very pleased. Seems poor coaching once again.

I made a phone call on this one and indeed this is true. He apparently gets away with it all the time. Coaches just cover it all up. The kids want him gone. To much drama.

Ask parents on this team what he does to other kids on this team and at school.

When will this kid be released from this team. The parents are very embarrassed and are fed up with having to apologize for him. He's always been like this its not something new that can be "cured". Other teams are starting to complain. SD coach should sort this one out quickly.

Nothing will be done about this as usual. It will all be covered up. Coach is just getting his lead from the parents who just tell him what to do.

Give your head a shake coach. Go back to the beginning, remember you are now in flight 1 and start again. Leadership comes from you down. You cannot give leadership roles to those that can't handle it. NO MATTER WHAT THE PARENTS SAY. GET THE PARENTS OFF THE BENCH AND OUT OF YOUR FACE. Its your decision and your responsibility. You are the one who looks foolish if you choose the wrong people. Clean this team up.

I watched this game. Quite bland, some nice goals. Hardly any hitting. Why was he so upset? Strange!
January 15, 2013 at 9:11 AM
I was wondering what was going on. over 100 pims in 2 games?
real strange

Well that show should put him out for a few weeks surely. Don't see how you can cover that up.
Also our coach would sit him as well.

This is one of the reasons parents take their kids to the clubs, to get away from the parents controlling the team. Too bad when a puppet gets in, and has his strings pulled by the parents.

Why aren't his parents dealing with this. Or are they part of the problem. Just asking as it still comes back to the parents.

Agree. Wouldn't there be automatic penalties that he would get. I don't think this can be covered up.

I was watching also.Same reaction as you. Game was fairly even and not overly aggressive. I hear he's not to bright.
From what I have seen this player is not a strong skater or playmaker, and would probably be better off on a lower team. Maybe this transition to flight 1 is too much for him, not everyone is suited for this level of play.
