[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yet, many of these parents have no problem destroying coaches on this exact same forum. Not a sermon, just a thought. [/quote]

Coaches are adults and an important factor to choosing a club, so hearing people’s experiences are valid and there are so many questionable coaches in kids sports. Criticizing children when you don’t understand or know anything about them is cruel. Their accolades may not always seem fair but it depends on their league and coach. 
Stop attacking kids but the coaches are fair game. Just my opinion.[/quote]

I kind of disagree, to a point. MANY of these kids know the preferences, the favoritism, etc. that they are receiving. I'm not pointing to anyone but this applies to several of the "all met" kids in the DMV. EVERY club has this. You know it. Coaches know it. The kids know it. The kids receiving the benefits know it. They share it on social, with the public, and use it to score the best opportunities. So give me a break, here.

While it's not cool to personally attack them, pointing out their preferential treatment relative to their skills is fair game. [/quote]

Many, I repeat many, of these “all state” and “all met” players will not play in college. Some instances, they are D1 or bust. Some instances, they believed their high school accolades should’ve gotten them noticed to be recruited. Mostly, though, they are just not good enough and not at collegiate-level ability because they received their accolades as their high school coaches’ favorite. These are facts not because I am writing this down but because historically this has happened time and time again and will continue as long as most accolades continue to be achieved not by ability. Of course, there are exceptions but not many![/quote]

Or how about they prioritize academics over any old D1 or D3. Doesn’t mean they couldn’t play as you insinuate, they just choose to prioritize the academic environment.[/quote]

THANK YOU.  Seriously.  These girls might play hockey for four more years but will have a career for the rest of their lives.  [/quote]
