What a silly statement.  Like most youth travel hockey in the northern Virginia area, most of the coaches with Ashburn are dad's with sons or daughters on the team they are coaching.  There are only two "higher ups" at Ashburn - and there is no yelling about winning at all costs. I know this from personal experience having had my kids play there for years.  Your kid's development will be better at Ashburn then it will be at St J at any age.  The dad is doing the coaching because they love the game and they want their kid to love it to - not someone at an average tier2 club where it's just something they are doing until something better comes along.  And by the way, coaches yelling at refs happens at every age group and every team.[/quote]
Okay, I get it. Your kid played at Ashburn and you're butthurt because YOU liked the experience (likely living vicariously through your child) and your kid enjoyed the experience of winning a few CBHL team banners. Good for your kid, shameful for you. Sounds like you are a meager assistant coach too, so you are all rah rah and 100% bought in and willing to defend the shield.

All things considered, Ashburn is not desirable for most people because of reasons already stated. Justifying yelling at and berating referees because everyone does it it where you will 100% lose any sensible person, and you do. Why not be a shining example for the kids and not yell at the referee and completely embarrass yourself in front of the entire crowd? Can't you calmly ask the ref to come over to the bench to discuss the call as the [b][url="https://www.admkids.com/page/show/910488-what-is-the-american-development-model-" target="_blank"][u]ADM[/u][/url][/b] specifically teaches?
