what is wrong! team not playing together! few players think its ufc night! time to rest in the box! its not about to putting on a show!its about the team Right!
wheres the coach here those players whom do not want to play as a team !LEAVE rk did! now its time for those TO PLAY HOCKEY not iam tougher than you

THINK THIS over a A team HAS BETTER SELF CONTROL ON THE ICE
STAY OUT OF THE BOX

What da fack was that ? Was is it English ?

wow someones bitter have you been holding all that in
perhaps its a good thing to let it all out
good luck in finding a new team

From what I hear the New Vaughan Kings will be looking for a new coach, and some new players too! This team needs to clean up their dressing room first before they throw stones.

Hear this team is losing control and a couple want out.

It's too late

its never too late

dressing room needs to be addressed, before the new vaughan kings become a team at any level

Why is this team going to be looking for a new coach? hasn't there been a few different coaches in the last 2 or 3 years with pretty much the same result? what is this coach doing that is so bad?

this current coach is an absolute retard. have you ever seen the way he conducts himself behind the bench? like a caged animal. he was a retard as a scout and not a retard as a coach. buddy pack it in. hockey is not your strength...

All i know is that when my son was playing against them, i felt bad for the team, they looked scared of the dude. I would be too, he looks and sounds uncontrollable. I think at this point the Kings would just want to have fun, they know they are not going to the playoffs, why make it less fun.

Whats the scoop with LL? I thought he was the manager? Can't he go to association if all the parents are in a riot? His kid is ok and might get a look under a better coach. Grow some buddy for his sake and do your freakin job!

What is happening in the dressing room that needs to be addressed?

Wow, somebody told me to read this and I can't believe this crap.

This is all such BS and typical on a team that isn't playing well. There's nothing going on in the dressing room except some frustration, lack of bonding and some chirping that may have got out of line. If so, it's the coach's job to fix that and supervise the room. He will. Next step, get the team focused again on the common goal and improve the on-ice team play. Playoffs or no playoffs that will happen. If it can't, change always happens whether it's players and/or coaching staff.

This team was pretty good at staying off the radar of this vulture website. Don't give ammunition to the nutbars who have axes to grind. Your kid doesn't need to read it.

nice try, are you trying to down play the investigation on your team. something had to have happened that was not too good. why are you trying to hide the facts. let them out and just maybe your team (VK) can become a better team.

We can figur it out. RK wanted off team because didnt like his ice time. coul not get releas because coach is mad and parent owed team lots of money. Parent went to GTHL and said some boys said bad things to him t get a faster release. hes 200 pounds. gthl guy called me. verybody in room chirps a little. were playing bad. Coach will yell at us. GTHL will yell at Coach. Good enuff?

what?

Boys stay off this site. It's all crap put on by bored and nasty people.

caught some of the game last nite ,your staff needs a new game plan ,double shifting will not win games

coach didn't learn from last year kept wrong players

Coach may get threw to his players after he stops yelling and freaking out for 45 minutes back there, thats embarrassing.

fire the coach only 1 win

do you really think replacing the coach will help?

Replacing the coach will not help but replacing the goalies might.

Outshot Titans, especially in the 2nd. titans had a good goalie and the Kings got no lucky breaks. Tempers then took over. Still, all Kings not playing well. Need to get a good #1 goalie, replace one forward, get some scoring touch back, more team passing, better player coverage and escape their slump in confidence. Big order. One step at a time now. Replacing coach alone wont help.

fire the coach only 1 win Isn't this what the coach wants? Doesn't he tell the boys this in the dressing room "if your parents don't want me hear, then they can get me FIRED, I run the show on this team!"

Dont be an idiot. He does run the show until the parents go to the association to get him fired. Thats the way it should be and every team is the same. Why dont you quit hiding behind a website and step up? Organize the parents and actually get him fired. No thanks? I didnt think so.

If your son is running home and telling you
what is being said the dressing room then
your son is not ready for AAA hockey, and neither
are you to repeat it here.

a lot of people on this team can't spell or put a sentence together. they write like their kid plays hockey!!fire the coach and cut 3/4 of the team and you will be just fine.

use alot more callups

Most if not all of these kids are not going anywhere, so why put them threw a coach that will make there last year together hell?

do the parents even have the authority to fire the coach?

Nobody wants to fire the coach.

well they went out and got a goalie from welland, who is not any better than the ones they have. they let him start today and sat their starter and got a 6-0 loss out of him after playing brampton. then after the game they cut their original starter goalie and kept the goalie who lost 6-0 to start.

whats going on with this team?

i think they should get rid of the coach. it only makes sense.

Why will a new coach play goal too??

Who did they let go HD or RK?

a new coach wont get rid of his best goalie

your in last place how can you say one is better than the other?

After reading all these posts, their is something very wrong with this team!!
The GTHL needs to step in for the players on this team.

sounds like a repeat of last year. cut goalie a few weeks before deadline - why - who knows? - he was a good goalie - goalie was lucky to find a spot with a good East AA team otherwise hung out to dry. don't beleive team won another game in the league after that.

i heard HD is gone

another loss for the kings, 7th or 8th straight i think

get real here will you there's no AAA kids on this team just good AA kids trying to do their best and go up against some real good teams its up to the team staff and parents also to do the best they can with what they have they can only go up from there ,so play hard,teamwork and stay out of the box and see what happens

Its still very early in the season, no need to panic. Jumping ship now wont do anyone any good. Roll the lines and play all the kids that were selected to be on team. This will build confidence and team cohesion. After a while it will be obvious to the coaches and players where each kid ranks on the team. One step at a time guys.

good advice

If the boys are chirping at each other in the dressing room and blaming each other for their losses the team might as well pack it in right now and give it all up. Your coach definitely needs to ensure that this no longer continues. If there is no sense of team - win as a team and lose as a team - there isn't a team. Noone should be feeling superior to anyone else on a team that has barely scored a goal or come close to being competitive in most game situations. Actually, noone should feel or act superior to anyone else even on the most competitive teams! Recipe for disaster right there.

more good advise, good luck Kings

how did they do

They are not at a AAA level!

Anyone that can't behave in a dressing room
at MM level of hockey should be playing houseleague
then the moms can stand in the room with the players.

check out the team website and see the best chirps.
Most of them are at each other.

That's such BS and U R such a backstabbing joke. Think about how proud yor kid would be if he knew you were doing this. It's not that tough to figure it out. Dont embarass him further.

B.S. BACK TO THE SAME OLD CRAP THE TEAM CAN NOT HAVE A CHANCE IN HELL TO WIN WHEN THE TEAM IS SHORT HANDED POST OCT 22 5:18 IS RIGHT

coach didn't learn from last year kept wrong players

Ass of the year is the Kings coach who released # 1 goalie

hey kings thanks for the 2 points it was a easy practice 5 on4 tell 22 you cant score from the box

Released #1 goalie, what a joke. The new goalie from Welland is so much better than both the AA goalies we had. The problem is the coach didnt play him. Its AAA Max, name a #1 starter and he plays until he gets beat out for the spot. You also continue to let the same undisciplined players take dumb penalties with no reprecussions. Way to stick by your word! A valuable 2 points given to a team we should be ensuring doesnt make the playoffs. Dont blame most of the boys Max, the game was yours to lose and you did a good job losing it.

most parents and players fed up already

I had heard the coach is or was an OHL team scout. If that is true and this guy cant coach hockey 101,then how is he suppossed to perdict future talent? Its too bad for the kids on the team, they deserve better than this.

maybe hes paid off

he lost his OHL job now he will lose his gthl job

Released there number 1 goalie what a mistake and the one they got is no better, never mind the back up. coach is consistently making bad decisons losing game after game for the team. I can't believe he hasn't been replaced! I feel sorry for the kids.

First of all,#1.They may have been #1,s in AA,but this is not AA.
Secondly.The new kid is from Welland?
What on earth are those parents thinking.

you can't blame the coach he only can work with what he could get its the kids that are out of control

coach picked the team! Cuts kids? Takes too many? Sits good kids. He has no clue!

There is a respect that he should have for the kids, that is not there. You should here what the scouts are saying then he goes on his little tantrums on the bench, its somewhat embarrassing for him.

You got it right. He is missing a basic level of respect for the kids.

How can someone be placed time and time again in this position. Says something about the Kings org

Waah!!! My kid got cut and I want revenge!!! Waah!!! My kid isnt good enough to play for any other AAA team so I cant dare ask for a release!!! Waah!!! I used to be able to control things more in AA!!! WAAH!!! This lame site is all I've got and nobody takes it seriously!!!

Teams that lose whine. If you were 12-0 nobody would be saying sh+t even if your coach was Jack the Ripper. Thats the way it works. And if your kid had more talent some other team would take advantage and arrange a trade and youd be somewhere else. Do you really think that having your kid read this stuff helps him somehow (even if hes been cut)? Do you really think this will make change happen on the team? Youre a worse joke than your coach.

I know your team and maybe 2 or 3 of your boys will play Junior A somewhere someday. They got a detour here because your coach sucks, your team hasn't got enough talent and you have a few headcases for players. Its too late this year but if those boys want it bad enough they will get it turned around by next year in Midget. Thank heaven this will be your kids last year in serious hockey. What will you do with your time when youre not on this site? And dont kid yourself, your kid and everybody else on your team knows youre writing this stuff. Nice.

It is very obvious who is writing this. It is
the same person who spent all last year writing about
their AA team. Core group of parents on this team
have been there for 4+ years, never had a post on this
team that whole time. Everyone knows where the issues
are coming from.

so who is writing this crap

what is the deadline for releases? will this team see anymore releases, there's a few obvious choices here

The following are writing all this crap:

Michael Fitspatrick and Patrick Fitsmichael
Phil McKrakin
Mike Hunt

Its all of them writing this crap.
Release them all.

I knew it was them I saw they way they
were huddling after the last game.

lost 7-1 to NYR
way to go

time to start over must dump the whole team and which players to keep or not and which players to pick up have 2 weeks

Mommy, will my team be this bad when I play in the NHL?

it must be your kid that su__ks please go back to A thats where in the box is played

get a life

coach finally got fired
thank god he was an *******

Yup after that great win against the Senators
it is sooo obvious it was all the coach.
Keep up the good work guys.

Your missing the point
This coach is driving these kids crazy, calling them names and not treating them with any respect. Its not like any of these kids are going very far in hockey, so let them just have fun. They do not need some guy screaming at them all the time, this will be their last season together, lets just enjoy it and not worry about some guy causing un needed drama.

No your missing the point. The coach had his issues,
BUT Kids playing Minor Midget AAA that aren't going anywhere have no right to be there. This is the year the AAA kids have worked so hard for. Houseleague is for FUN. Get a release and let the new coach find a player waiting for a AAA chance who is really HUNGRY for it.
Most parents have better things to do with 6k than watch their 15 year old kids have FUN.

Just because you have a hunger for it doesn't make you a better player. This is the year that all this stuff comes out in the wash. Who is deemed worthy is decided by somebody else and not the parent. In the mean time not every team is going to be a top contender. So if your kid has the hunger, help him develop, set goals on and off ice and sit back and let it happen. And don't worry about the rest of the team, its out of your hands now, more than ever before. There are a lot of parents who like to rub it in because their kid is on a winning team. It doesn't make them a winner.

Again you are missing the point.
At this level of hockey in MM and to some lesser
degree Midget hockey there are no WINNING
TEAMS. Not one team ever was drafted together.
Scouts will pick PLAYERS that they believe have what
their organization is looking for. Each
organization is already developed and therefore
looking for a different combination than another.
Winning teams will have some drafted, losing teams
will also have some drafted, middle of the pack teams
will have some drafted. Thus said, EVERYONE PLAYING
MINOR MIDGET AAA HOCKEY HAS AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY
TO SHINE THIS YEAR. Not all will, and to some degree
it is already obvious. If your junior wants to play and
have fun, take him to a fun place, and let someone else
skate in and try to shine during what is left of the
season.

Lots of teams will have no players drafted and the vast majority of those drafted will get three or four days at an OHL camp before heading back to Midget. Lots of those kids won't even make AAA teams next year. Nice fairy tale ending. Have fun with the game and enjoy the best years of your life and quit obsessing about your hockey future.

Okay. So your son who is going nowhere
in this game, is just wanting to have fun,
and you simply have 6k to allow him to have fun,
get home on school nights at midnight or later,
miss parties and Saturday nights with his friends
cause you know he is just having fun.

10:29 still believes in the tooth fairy

I liked Max and Alan, Hope they find another team next year.

so whose coaching this team now?

M Ianetta the owners son.

owner's name is doria

Do your homework Ianetta is Doria's partner.

Im sure that they where good coach, but this team needs a different style of coach behind the bench.

Has this son ever coached before and especially at MM AAA ?

Lots of hockey experience. Google him.

Have fun playing the game, going to parties, chasing girls and taking Dads car out on your own for the first time. If you think six or six hundred thousand is going to get your kid too the show your wacked. Trust me you want it more than your kid and thats not how it works.

Exactly. Your kid has to want it and work for it
and show it. That's why if you kid isn't really
into it firstly why waste your time and money when
they don't even want it. Secondly even if your kid
really wants it but isn't good enough that it up
to the scouts to make that clear.

What I have been trying to say is REGARDLESS OF HOW
YOU SEE YOUR KID AND THEIR ABILITY. IF YOUR KID ISN'T
REALLY INTO THIS WHY BOTHER????? There are so many other
levels of hockey that are fun and less stressful. Lots of
kids aren't going anywhere, especially on this team, but
if your kid doesn't even want to why make him walk the plank??
You just don't get it--would you make your kid audition
for anything else they didn't want??? Do you go for job
interviews that you don't want. This is the big year for
these kids. Lots of stress, lots of emotion, for many
lots of disappointment. I guess your at the resaurant
sitting at a table but aren't going to order food???
Easy to see why the coach freaked out so much. Your
hockey sense is brutal

Does this mean,Mccann is coming back to Brampton again?

Sorry,I couldn't resist.

hahahahaha

No the SCTA is to weak to play in no challenge.

Looks like he can play but which AAA or Junior teams has he coached? Just because you can play the game doesn't mean you can coach it. Ask Tom Fergus

He has been a d coach for the Kings 97
team

the 97's love him was there right up until
last weekend--hopefully he can manage both teams

Leave Mccann alone, kid has played his home centre 4 times this season and has mustered only 1 goal in 4 games

Perhaps that's why the team is where its at.

One Beauty of a tourny this weekend EH? Thankyou London for showing up to play in the Championship game on Sunday.
I guess you guys will travel anywhere to play against Brampton.

What are the first names of #9 and 46? Were they AA last year?

#9 is Alex Locken, and #46 is Connor Anderson, I don't know where they played last year.

#9 has been a king for a few years now.
# 46 played AA in oakville for the past
several years

why don't you post your own kid's name on here?
Basic rules on here no kids names. Grow up

The kids are in their draft year and they are 15 years old. Their team websites have their names, stats and photos published for all to see and you are worrying about names here? This isn't Novice anymore. LMFAO!

OMG!!! But your the one on here a couple of
days ago saying your kid just wanted to have fun!!!3
What's up today.

What are you looking at!!??? OHL? Are you kidding? I'll give you 100 bucks for every king that gets drafted

WM back to Marlies,is it true?

wm? who is that what team is he on?

WM to the Marlies?? Are you new??
After his strong performaces in the past
few games, WM is going straight to the NHL,
Pittsburgh I believe, to co-captain with Sid.
I'm proud of him aren't you??? OHL that's
for kids that can't play the big game.
Good luck WM.

WM will be watching

are things any better with the new coach?

Getting better. Coaching smarter. Kids playing their roles better. Better passing. Better goaltending. Penalties way down. Still have a lot of work to do especially around getting to the net, avoiding being out of position and turning over the puck. But better.

Pretty good game against the Rangers last night. 2-1 loss. We put the puck in our net for their first goal but we didn't let it demoralize us as it has in the past. We tied it up but they scored on a 2-on-1 with 6 seconds left due to to an unnecessary pinch by us. Heartbreaking.

Keep your spirits up guys. Keep working hard and play smart.

You caught us flatfooted. Our coach was pissd. At least your coach and your kids dont act like aholes anymore. A few of your boys came to play last night better than ours. A good game for #9 who is a good kid. His dad really drank the koolaid Max was selling this year.

Hope you guys enjoy the rest of the season, good luck.

thanks for the info, good luck the rest of the way!

Glad to hear Max is gone...hes poision.....Its good to hear and see an organization taking care of buisness

So did the Marlies sign WM from the kings last night, or did they just have a big laugh??

to bad most of the boys gave up already when they walked thur the gate

Most of the team might have given up,
but your one D, and one forward worked
their a***s off. Obvious only a few AAA
players on ths team.

Nothing wrong with AA players making the jump to AAA to see how they stack up even if it means playing for a weak team. The experience itself makes it worth while, and who knows every now and then a late bloomer might actually excell at the higher level and be able to move up to a better team. With that in mind most Dads have to remember that most of the kids playing on this team were either good or pretty good AA players and some of the players are on this team because they are big, or tall, or big & tall. So good luck to everyone and for Gawd's sake keep your perspective and sense of humour.

11-0 ouch!

shouldv kept HD
teams a wreck now

still one more trouble maker left to deal with in dressing room he showed his colors again last game

I agree , they lost there best Goalie again great job Max

Their best goalie was HD? what a joke. He would have been shelled even worse. AA at best. So is most of the team.

Lets see what he can do against the Braves today.
That will tell if he is even good enough to be called AA.
He wasn't last year.
4:30pm Etb.Ice Sports.
Come out and give his Dad your support.

A trouble maker parent or two to deal with too. We know exactly who. Lets see how much help you kid gets finding a team next year. He is so proud of what your doing.

5-0
out shot 63-7
i think he proves himself well enough in AA
had a shaky first 5 minutes but stopped all 45 except one in the last 40 minutes.

get over it Dad. crap happens in the gthl and it provides real life lessons to these kids.
kids that go through this type of s__t develop thicker skins that will help them later on.
Does Max still have same guy guiding him on goalies - the one whose son played for Max before and now plays junior. what experience does that guy's father have to be a goalie coach?
U wonder why coach was making decisions he was making. didnt same thing happen last year.
suck it up - life goes on.
goalies need longer to develop any ways - if this kid wants it he will work hard and keep trying.
good luck.

I guess,so much for that experiment.
Can't stop a good AA team either.
5-0 loss,whats next.
Try A ,that might work out for you.

5-0 loss to what team?

he was out shot 63-7
shaky first 5 minutes but this braves team could probobly beat the kings.
he made the last 30somthing saves untill they finally scored late in the third of a 4th rebound.


cut the kid some slack will ya

Thats the problem,giving up that 4th rebound.
And as for the shots try padding it a little more.
More like 30-0.
No shots on net.

These responses are why parents Should Not Pimp,their kids on here.
It's open season when you do.

Best goalie was BB.

Yes. Terrible trade BB for RK. Worst ever.

HD is a good kid, good goalie. Not
a AAA goalie yet, but a good one.
Good luck. Mom and Dad get over it.
Your making it worse and dragging in on.
Best of luck.
