What's happening with the coach? Heard he was called before the board regarding the F1 screwup and not having watched any of them skate?

DW straightened it out for him. All good now.

What a mess. London kids suffer for other teams cuts!

I didn't want my kid to play for this coach but also not willing to drive hours for practice and games. Unlike others, I am not living the dream.

I highly doubt he got dragged in front of the board, but if it did happen it has happened far too late. I would love to know how many of these extra kids that were brought in at the last minute were either LFD offspring or their parents were friends or work contacts of the coach. SR came in with a ton of good will and credibility and now he has neither.

If the Green team isn't going anywhere then why do you care? What about the promises and favours made to kids on the Gold team? The Gold team stinks of smoke.....LFD? I think so!

Why does everything get turned to be a Gold problem. I think there are only two LFD offspring on Gold and a strong case can be made for both of them. The point is not whether the Green team is going to be any good or not but they should have to at least play by the same rules the rest of the teams do. The LJK's should stand by their own argument as to the very existance of Green.
The Alliance did not go to the LJK and say "we think there is so much talent in London and you should have a second team". Quite the opposite the LJK's went to the Alliance and asked/begged.

Exactly, and coach had zero credibility before and none now. He was planted by DW as a nice guy who doesn't really have a clue what's going on around him in the hockey world. And the only way the one dman makes the team is if his LFD dad is coaching. SN told me he wouldn't even make his AA team! Deal. Joke.

So kids will have fun then! 7 f1s too!

My kid is an F1. Thanks for the opportunity by moving out of the way down to AA. You will be fine there.

you can look at it one of two ways...a kid who has stayed in his local area playing for the team for many years and then is knocked off by an F1 in MM - one could say it was an exercise in F1 favours or you can say the green kid had all of those years to show that he was not a bubble kid and now they are going with an F1. Sucks though for the bubble green kid.

Sucks even worse when it's CM from Brantford who bumps you!! Ouch.

wrong side of the bubble

Yeah have a good year with those guys

You have 3 or 4 A players were not even close to being the best on their A team and F1S from Brantford 1 goalie and 1 D worst players in the alliance. 1 D who could not make a FC a team LFD

Yeah, how did Brantford's CM make this team any way? If he finally gets cut in Brantford, why on earth would London take him?

The coach is an idiot

No he isn't. He's a nice fellow.

I guess he could be both......

I dislike this situation as most do but lets not focus this on a couple of kids. Coach made deals with parents, with is sh..ty but leave the kids out of this.

F1 summary:
7 in total
3 never attended a single LJK skate
1 attended 1 LJK skate
3 others attended some LJK skates

Not mentioning any names or initials but SR must have been sold by word of mouth on a few of them. Guess we will have to wait and see how things go.....

Wait till you see the big lazy goalie in action

He is another one who was apparently offered spot before SR saw him play! The Chief cuts were I am certain recommended by DD as he knows them and they are solid players, better than the cut london kids.

yes there is a reason he was cut for an A goal tender

Yes and a A goalie that struggled all year and probably could not have made at least three of the four FC teams this year. That puts some perspective on it......

let me guess he was chosen because he is big lol, that works in house league, in AAA the players will sunburn his neck. Big, agile and mobile is great. Just big is window dressing.

was big a couple of years ago, now average size. poor skater, slow. plays too deep in the net. wait til you see it. haha.

you may not see him, no F1's are on roster ljk green coaches have been spanked by the brass

This is what happens when you give ateam to a guy with no experience. It is a develpment team and many bad player choices made. There was no need for that many F1s maybe 1 or 2 may pan out but none will have any impact on the team.

What 2 would make an impact?

only 2 that belong at AAA are JR & NW could argue DN too

Relax. F1's will be there.

12.34 "minor midget" development is over, if you don't have it now you never will!

I don't think development is ever over. If it is a lot of teams are wasting money on practice ice all the way up to the pro level. But the development argument aside (which was one of the reasons for this team in the first place) I would love for someone to come on here and list all the reasons this team was picked on merit, skill, hardwork and talent. Unless being a buddy of the coach or the offspring of a LFD employee classifies as a good reason to be a F1 on this team.

not one of these players will make an impact on this team.We will be 4 or 5 th in our division

And there are 7 kids from London who are off this "development" team to make room for the coaches favour picks.

4:31 I can tell you that based on the fact that your kid was cut and these boys made the team would indicate they will be a bigger impact on the team than your son.
Get over it, move on!

F1 daddy we will never know as we never got to see most of them on the ice against other players. Is you kid on the roster yet? It is not an oversite that all the F1s are off the roster as of yet.

Everyone in Lambeth know the picks were not on skill or ability for this team!

Lambeth, London, Middlesex Centre, Brantford everybody knows. No matter how you slice it this is an almost a all time low for Minor hockey.

My question is, were the directors told about this coach's forfeit history?
If so, why did they allow a coach with a history of forfeit to coach again?
It is clear with such a history he should not have gotten this team!

Are you gossipers finished already?

what is the forfeit history that you are talking about

How in the world did London EVER allow 7 F1's onto the green team, the concept of which is to develop more London kids through the Knight's program? That right there is seriously screwed up thinking.

Same bullshit as last years 96 team ..... Secret deals for F1s that end up flopping. In the long run the entire LJK program will wane in numbers because all the chatter i hear from longtime LJK parents is fuck them and go back to FC and make super FC teams that will embarass the LJK AA offerings.

Anytime a player makes a team without going through the tryout process is clear signs of tampering and corrupt coaching.

So did you F&^%$ them and go back

who cares we will not win anything with the players we have. the roster that is posted consists of 1 kid that can score and the rest of them just like last year will manage a couple of goals a piece. I dont think one kid on the new roster from green got more than 5 goals last year.Correct me if I am wrong.

if it is the same kid I am thinking of, he was held back by very poor coaching on the gold team. my son has played with him for years and he has potential beyond anyone else in this age group given the right circumstances.

There are a few additions to green both on the front and back end that will make a difference.
Try and enjoy your summer and get over the fact that in the end your kid was cut!

sorry my kid was not cut just stating facts

hey 11:49

are you a new addition? I only see 11 players on roster. And what new D and F are going to make a difference.

If you are an F1 you maybe going back to you're home centre.

Oh sorry, just stating the facts!

Oh sorry the facts are that you kids were picked for favours I think one of the new kids is someones boss.LFd kid is going to make a big impact on D

Board should be held accountable. Have someone from OHF and Alliance come and watch the team and then see how SR explains two of the F1 D and two of the F1 fwds. They need to see this.

OHF and Alliance? How about he should have to explain it to the London parents. No child should ever get bumped by CM from Brantford.

its personal opinion OHF and Alliance can't do a thing if the F1's are legit. The coach can take anyone he wants and not necessarily the best players

That doesn't make it right.

People get on with your life and concentrate on your own kids.

May 25 posts 11:33 > you need to be corrected
& 11:40 > one of several who were held back by him




What would you know about players stats from last year? Without the exceptional couple of forwards this team would not have done as well as they did last year. They will do even better this year. The fall of the 1 goalie hindered the rise of green to the end, and without the efforts of these forwards, who for the most part, also did the work in the weak d zone as well, this team would have totally collapased as in all past years. As we see it, the fwd from gold, as well as the other 2 strongest fwds on green, have as much potential as any of the gold players. Likely more, getting out from the seige and depression of the other team betters their chances of excelling. The other team, continues blundering with nothing different to work with and the same suppressing coaching mentality. Those parents must all agree with it: or at least the ones who have the deal arranged for their kid to run the show. Too bad!

2 strongest forwards on green went to other teams

So you are saying that the 2 strongest forwards on green last year were not the 2 selected for gold this year

Strong forwards still on green. Sorry jn, jm, and dm they weren't talking about your kids!

Ok daddy. Keep dreaming. If your kid was top notch he would be on gold and you and one other daddy and or mommy should think about another reason your kid got cut again. You! When a player is close, past parent behaviour is taken into account by volunteer coaches. Stay out if the Shit whether you like the coach or not or you end up bitter and your kid suffers while you cry to nobody out here. Bye now.

Hey you live a in a fantasy world and this year your fantasy will implode. lol You are one of the biggest dw haters out there and whined about him for 6 years. you blow with the wind. typical teacher. good luck eh

Just be careful who you think your friends are on Gold! Say one thing to your face and trash your kid in the corners of the rink or on here behind a computer!

No. 07 kid in my brethen but u guys r fucked LJKs is about who you know and always has been
... My kid has outplayed every LJK kid from atom to midget and guess what ? He has had fun and proved that most LJK teams r shit and full of crap friend picks. Well FUCK them who cares they suck and any draft picks will be favour picks.

...and now wheres your kid playing? in 6 years haven't seen 1 outstanding player. no one who is heads & tails better than another.keep kissing a$$ though

feel the LJK love

4:44 Green is just as bad there is alot of bad parents on the team .MF have another drink there is a reason your kid and the other kids are not on gold hope he can produce for green they are going to need it.

Kids will get opportunities TO PLAY on green
Guess that won 't be the case for your kid on Gold
Have a feeling you newbies golds are in for a long disappointing season

the green kids have had the opportunity some of the kids had 90% more ice last year and could still not produce there is a reason you are greeners

Can't wait for the show to begin in the near future when JN sees his kid sit for the year. Get him some skating lessons in the summer!

And your kid will get 5 goals again great contributor. If it was not for the 4 f that are gone green would have won 5 or 6 games last year they were the top scorers on the team by alot

sorry left out the goalie he was the best in the alliance

RL is a hell of a good tender, best of luck to him on Gold, but we also gained a good tender in ML. Our number two tender I don't get. Even with as tough of a year JW had he is better and I would hazzard a guess both AA tenders are stronger. Time will tell.

701
You're delusional
Feel bad for your kid

7:01

the 4 fwds who are gone? lol

think of who they are and now apply that to your comment loser

1155 you are correct, i can't figure out that move either????????

Right choice was made with the goalie that went to aa. Green better off this year

7 01 you are correct and if he is not please tell me who had more points last year then those forwards or even close.sorry 818 630 feel bad for your kids who were cut again from gold and could not get thr job done on green. maybe this year they will get 6 goals.

Well with that great goal tending and all the prolific goal scorers you have you should win the alliance thrn

1045
It is obvious who scored the points on this team
Due to political picks. They will still remain on green
Your boy will disappear on the ice like usual.
Your boy making gold will only bring the obvious shortcomings/ skill that he lacks
Good luck with his season, cause that's all he has going for him!

Sorry facts are that they were the leading point guys on your team now you are left with a bunch of whanna be gold kids who each were lucky to get 5 or 6 goals last year. Jw is a far better goalie then the f1 kid so were the rest of the goalies at tryouts.

where is jw playing?

i think west but maybe oakridge

AA ? .. wouldn't be so bad

It does not matter there were enough goal tenders at tryout who are alot better then the F1 no need to go out and bring one in.Odviously was the coaches friend, boss, bfd, some thing ties these 2 together

108
Dyslexic ?

jn and dn both deserve to be on the gold team Far better players then anyone left on green May 27 710
All you greeners are just like the person who made that comment it is great that your kid can skate up and down his wing and hit but has no real talent or skill.That is why you are on green no skill or talent

1:08 Dad(s) you are high.

Gold didn't need goal scorers and they didn't add any this year with the kids that went "down" to gold in their instance. They needed fillers who would be complacent just seeing their kids name on the gold roster OR they were cut for obvious reasons. This will ring true in a few months. The gold coach has always had who he wants and they are the kids that play. Remember you have been bitching about that for years, now you get to live it! Good Luck and enjoy. You should have had your head about you and looked out for your kid more. Green will do very well this year.

PS Last year you had nothing positive to say about the goalie you are now praising in your 1:08 post sh_t disturber.

You must be one of the 3 or 4 parents that think there kid is really good but no one else thinks so. Give your head a shake you bitched and complained when they played for DW and then got cut.They got a ton of ice time last year and could still not produce. There is a reason you are on green.

Hope we do have good year but will have to see how the F1s pan out.We lost a really good g but got back a really good g. Last years a little better but very close. D about the same as last year again will depend on how the F1s play. F right now not as good as last year but we have new kids that no one really knows what they will be like. So only time will tell.

Lost some week dee and gained some strong dee. Green will be just fine!

The F1 tender has no business being there, thats total BS!!
It should have been JW JN or PT from London...PERIOD!

F1 goalie will be an "experience"

F1 goalie was cut from Brantford.
Brantford coach is a former Jr B goalie.
He may not be the more experienced coach, but he knows targets.
So if 99er's cut him, fill in the blanks.

3:18 Have to agree. Though I can see why they let JW go. Kid is a stud in tryouts then in game situations something changes. If they could ever figure out what he would lock for one of the AAA spots. The F1 tender we have all seen play for sometime now in Brantford, he just looks like he could careless if he was there or not. ML will likely see 60% plus games if this team wants to win anything.

hey get this 2:20

Your kid isn't good jn, can't skate and won't be missed on green fwd lines, no one wanted to play with him, the other kid is a reckless hitter only, the other were cut and not wanted for obvious reasons

yes the goalie will be missed but rec'd even talent
new F1's and what not????????? fwds are not better than the London kids period and anyone playing d would be better than the back end of last year!

you lost 2 D and got 1 D that would not make a FC team and another cut from the worst team in the league

517 all of them better then your kid.Better hope ML plays 75% of the games

Ever think that is the plan, to have ML play most of the games and that is the reason they picked such a weak tender the no. 2.

Sorry new to the your string. Why did they pick a D that could not play AA when they had better D to take?
And what kid got sent to AA for this spot?

Better dee? Would like to know who?

Bottom line. The coach lacks credibility and experience. Has no clue and simply not a AAA coach. Everyone I talk to says they can't believe he got team. Something stinks here. He picked the crap D man so that players dad could run practices etc for him. I heard that from board member. He didn't even understand what an f1 was and was convinced by goalie daddy to pick his kid from brantford. He gained another problem there. Team will be average at best with below average coaching. He cut more than one who should have made team. Some on the board want him replaced for embarrassing the organization with 7 outsiders. Oh well. Good luck.

Maybe the board should worry more about team bullying, about kids quitting the team one day and back on the next, and about a coach that has one motive and that is to get his kid as much ice time as possible.
What is worse cutting a London kid so that he can actually play and contribute on a team or take a London kid knowing full well the kid will play 6-8 shifts per game?

Same thing with the 96 green ljk last season ... They cut 5 or 6 that were much better players, but in their defence sometimes you need players who will play a role and get concerned when the bench shortens at crucial times.

May 29 2012, 10:37 PM
Does the board not do a background check on these guys prior to appointing them as coaches. If he is a new guy don't they provide him a mentor so this F1 overload does not happen? This whole thing is rotten to core. There is no way around it. At AAA hockey you would expect some F1's on most teams, but 7 on the Green team (the team whose reason for existing is what.... so many AAA players in London). Not only does the coach lack any credibility neither does the board.

6:24....amen!

You guys just suck....great job on your picks and your f**kups....thanks in advance for your many 2pts this season!!!!!!

After a thorough read of this thread I conclude:


This thread reeks of sour grapes parents who want to degrade and complain because their kid didn't make the cut.Stop gossiping about this coach. Did you ever consider confronting him with the rumours that consume you? If you need to contribute to slamming a situation, take advice from a few posts up written the May 29. 11:06.This is the truth and everyone in this age group should focus on this nonsense that the board has allowed and condoned for years. 6 kids will dominate the ice again this year, as always, while the rest sit, worthy or not. For those who have gone through this and advocated for their boy and what's right, they've been admonished to never be part of the gold team again. The gold team has suffered greatly because of this condoned ego bullying. Is that OK with all of you? As a predicted result, the gold team struggles with success, and with team morale. Only the ones that are silent, continue the facade of the perception that their kids are the best players, for fear their kid will suffer. A fine example of exemplary parenting don't you think? Unfourtunately, the ones who suffer the most are those very kids who have been put on a pedestal. The reward for allowing the selfish agenda of one person, who is in charge with the boards blessing, is an incohesive team, and broken spirits. If there can't be 1 AAA team, it's very transparent why there are 2 97 AAA teams.

IT'S ABOUT THE KIDS

Good luck to the Green team this year! Your rise began last year. Your rise will continue this year!

Board had limited options.
Tough to find coaches willing to take on this age group and its impressive parent group.
Green coach will do an excellent job.

Coach really is clueless, he may be a nice guy but when it comes to hockey maybe throw a bag of pucks behind the bench and you'll get the same results...just ask any 95 AA parent/kid who he coached about his coaching knowledge

The reason it is so hard to find good non parent coaches, is because most people with any sense will not volunteer and put up with the parent bullshit, complaining and whining

unfortunately this group both green and gold have such a reputation that there is nobody that wants them. If you are volunteering your time and energy the last thing you want is to have to deal with a bunch of crazy parents. It is a no win situation here, I think both of our teams need to clean up our acts and let our boys focus on why they are here to play hockey. I know my son has read alot of the comments on here from the last few years and he said we were all nuts, maybe he is right

Why are they all nuts? Because the group has been controlled for the last 6 years by 1 person who has his own agenda. His kid was adecent player but is no longer a gold player like tg kid and others.

I think 12:35 has a point, all the issues can be traced back to 1 person if the LJK treated this group like most other groups...ie change coaches every couple of years then we wouldnt' be in this mess, the 99 group went through the same thing for a while. Every age group has some wacko parents but if you have a coach that is wacko and only focused on his kid that fuels the wackos and then you have what you see with the 97s. The board closed their eyes on this group, the coach was allowed to get away with things other coaches were called on and reprimanded for, long story short DW is a prick

Previous post

YOU NAILED IT!

Previous post did nail it. Way to much control with one coach for way to long. Past Board members tried to change the program only to be dismissed. Last convenor shocked by parent reaction. Publicly supported the coach. Privately could not disagree with the parents. Fought for change. Not invited back to the Board. What is the hold that this guy has over everyone? No one's good enough to go to the O anyway.

12:50 said it right.
Too long of a story and dw is short pr_ _k !

DW maybe many of the things said above but I find it hard to figured out how he is responsible for this mess this year with Green.

agreed, I wouldnt think he even probably knows him other then he is the guy coaching green

Obviously you were not there last year or you would know he WAS responsible for problems with green. Think about it!!! (but lets not dwell on it...history)

9:48 You've lived up "his" a$$ for 6 yrs now. Get back in, one more year to go.

8:33 you have a point with last year as the coaches know each other and are not exactly friends. The new guy I dont think he knows at all. Enough crap has gone over the last few years without starting to make things up. Leave it alone, lets just get on. New year, new teams, new coaches

9:48

Why is green in a mess this year?

You will know once you start playing games with your A team and unskilled players

11:01 its because the coach sucks and has no business coaching AAA domino's let alone AAA hockey, don't take my word for it just see for yourself come practice time

People are starting to find out. A coach people are laughing at, a soon to be announced LFD assistant who has zero credibiltiy but will run the show because of the joke head coach. And 7 outside players thanks to DD. I assume he was trying to make the team better than last year, but what a big mess.

The coach didnt know the rules cause he doesnt care about anything but being friends with the kids. He coached my son in AA and was over his head there too!!

Why are AB and JR not on the roster??

he lies to kids and parents had him as well have fun

JR went back toi Sarnia.

AB back to St T

so now only 5 f1's?

so now the team has no extra skaters what an idiot

"LFD assistant who has zero credibiltiy"
Lambeth Minor Hockey, would not even give him the A team and he is your assistant, best of Luck!

is he on the roster to play?

that's what would be worrisome.

5:04 PM So he got rid of two skaters and kept the F 1 tender, who by all accounts is weak and will be lucky to see 40% of the games. Does not seem like a great use of manpower.

Who cares about the coach all Knight's coaches are losers. There are a few really good players who should be on Gold so what. It's been like that for 6 years. Next year is a new year.

there is no one on green that should be on gold

7.58
You must be you of those fucken knobs who have been around DW’s ass to believe that. Put on your mask you peace of shit the DW fumes has contaminated your brain.
Or are you just fucken stupid!

5:04 Don't worry. Word has it SR has contacted another EMC F1.

806 your kids are not very good skill level very low have fun. Hope ML stays healthy all year

would green play the aa team for an exgame?

If your kid was good enough to make gold he would have been a standout player game after game last year and putting points up on the board game after game unfortunately the kids that did do this are no longer on your team

what? have another beer ya loser!

they will be keeping track of points this year we will see if your superstar kid gets more then his 2 to 5 goals per year

The few good kids will get more ice with green but with zero coaching will greatly suffer in development and miss the draft. That is what is most disappointing to me. The low expectations and lack of pressure sucks on green.

Why didn't you go to Huron with the other whackos

HP didn't want more baggage. The dads of the two on green and two on HP never learned.

10:02 not a green parent. Just a shit disturber who's kid was cut!!

Nope. My kid is on Green and I have high hopes. I just have heard nothing but bad about the coach as far as any hockey knowledge goes. Maybe I will be wrong. But he is for sure connected to DW as DW himself told me he was on selection committee! I feel he put him in as coach to attempt to screw us thats all.

I do not think he can take anymore F1s

9.15
same to Lt and Rl

one more F1 coming for sure (emc zone kid)

So 8 f1s? LOL. Or did some leave?

none left the team. AB and JR from St Thomas are still on the team and will be this season. Their names have been left off the site to keep you whining pricks from going on about how many F1's on the team. They are skating with them right now and have been a will be through out the summer. Don't be fooled by what you don't see on a website!!

Good so 7 F1's are still in place, assuming JR & AB's paperwork was proper.
Oh wait, it was not during the tryout period but they are working on it now.

6 54 not the same at all both those goalies are good does not matter which one plays. You will lose every game with your backup

The coach is an idiot and the A team will suffer from bad picks

he could have very easily taken either one of the AA goalies they are both twice the goalies as this pylon..in fact JW and JN who are playing FC are better than this kid from Brantford wtf?

have fun getting ice time with 18 skaters and 2 goalies

10:06

OK so SR leaves off JR & AB to "Stop the whining". Why not leave off SB, BJ or CM? Those are picks most would question....

You mean, have fun getting ice time with 18 skaters and 1 1/3 goalies?

12:19 PM You could go a lot deeper than that to find better goalies.... Crap A couple of those tenders worked very hard to have a spot on one of the LJK teams and to get f..... by all three is an insult given who Green picked......

You know if you replace CM BJ and SB and replace with better players, then this team competes.
Other than that, its going to be a long year and a lot of ice time for a few.

Maybe that is why SR pcked these 3...

SR sees CM & BJ once and signs them. Coincidence CM & BJ's dad's are buddies?
SR does not even see NW or JR skate - let alone attend a tryout - is ther not some LJK policy that you have to skate a tryout to make a team?

Big lazy goalie didn't get 1st win last year till the last game of the year

seems to me that the same policy is in affect over at elgin too. a Forward from sweden and a goalie from blenheim didn't even skate but there apparently on the team.
Its to bad that kids suffer from this because of the greed of some parents that will do anything to show and shine there kid.

I think in LJK and Elgin land, that if you are the best player out there but you are not part of the show, then you will never shine!

Shame really!

this team will finish lower then any other green team over the last 4 years

So he picked those kids to ride the bench? dont think so. They are not the only questionable picks there are at least 6

So he picked those kids to ride the bench? dont think so. They are not the only questionable picks there are at least 6

When all of this happened I asked the question if their was a policy that a player had to attend a tryout to make a team. I was told there are situations that a player cant attend, one being injury. Also when tryouts are winding down and a player (F1) just gets released coach can save a spot for him if he feels that he would make the team. The key is that F1's are not to displace London kids unless they are better then the London kid and not just marginally better. That seems to be the issue these kids are not better and they did displace kids from London that were probably better then the F1's. The above poster mentioned another F1 coming in and would be 18 skaters and 2 goalies. That would be wrong, I read the Alliance policy that they have online and the most you can card is 19 players in total

Well at least you got an answer, I asked and have recieved no answer to this BS.

The coach does not know what he is doing he was put in this spot for a reason

You know, this is bullshit, I am contacting the Alliance/OHF/Hockey Canada and actually file a complaint and everyone else should too.

Its wrong what they are doing to kids here. My kid plays every year here, and then is replaced by an F1 kid and in his MM year? The kid that replaced him can't even hold my kids stick.

No good spouting off on here now is it.
If you wasted as much time writing to real powers that be maybe it would be diffrent.

2:38 SR looking at another F1 only if AB & JR cannot get their F1 paperwork corrected.

Direct from EMC Regulations:

"The intent of the EMHA is to recruit and offer ‘AAA’ hockey to aspiring players from within the Elgin Middlesex zone. Each team is allowed to sign up to a maximum of 3 out-of-zone players upon Board approval. An out-of-zone player can only be signed if he/she is substantially better than an in-zone player."

Shouldn't we have something like this?

london does have something like that.... but like all their rules, they pick and choose when and where the rules apply, and especially to who they apply

Show me where London has this. KG tells me LJK has no such policy and to bring a motion for one to the AGM. Won't do any good for this coming season AGM already done.

I heard from someone who actually did get a response from KG (I am still waiting for mine....) that he wrote to them and told them the number was 5.

i heard from kg that they were told from sr that he was looking at 3-4 tops of f1's they had no idea on the 5 and were totally unaware of 7 they found out when we did. also heard that sr was called in for a meeting because of what he did

Sounds like the "inmates are running the asylum".

If the number is 5, then he should not have 7 - simple.

Sounds to me like it doesn't matter what he does you people won't be happy because he cut your kid! I don't hear you complaining that Gold has taken F1's!
Get over it, move on!

Difference is Gold has 3 F1's not 7. All of Gold's are bonafied AAA players - can you say the same about Green's F1's?

Bonafide? There are London kids on Gold that aren't friggin bonafide!!!

No argument there. But point is F1's on Gold can be justified. f1's selected for Green are definitely not substantially better then some London boys.

doesn't matter how good the kid is if the dad is a pain in the ass. Some people don't get it that their behaviour affects their kid. HP will find out what they got real quick....

The one F1 D is not better then some of the Forest City Defence.
How was he picked? size no. skating no. shot no. what was it Coach?

This whole F1 mess will be the downfall of the LJK .... A mass exodus back to FC is occurring now and more than a few LJK AA teams will be embarassed this season.

12:19.... neither JW or JN are playing hockey this year. Both are in West, and West does not have an A team. Neither wants to play houseleague.

I thought JW was going to Oakridge, but the point is correct. Both to some degree got screwed. Both should have at least played AA and take your pick of PT, JW or JN who should have had a shot at the other spot on green. Little question they are better than the F1 from Brantford.

Good luck to you and your F1s

poster 7:35 yesterday: and many others ............

Enough already.

The "F1 mess" this year will not and is not the downfall of the LJK. The LJK BOD is the LJK's own worst enemy and they have created their own nightmare and downfall which began almost 7 years within this '97 age group. Parent coaches are the downfall and condoned corruptness are the downfall. A true AAA team, with the best kids have never been selected because of this "downfall" . The history of the gold's lack of success in the last 2 years proves this and the BOD turn their heads time after time because they are all in on it. The talent is split between the 2 AAA teams, leaving both to struggle with the misfits. It is a joke but allowed.

Shame on this org.

No development. parents think kids are better then they really are. We will see come draft day. Where is CS now about a month ago he couldnt shut up about his kid and how great he is If he was so good he would of made the allstate team. no one from ljk goes in the first 3 rounds

Well said.

Gold parents think their kid is better than they are

KABOOM

Not just gold parents and alot of green parents are exactly the same they do not have a clue. Greener parents thinking that thier kids are better then the gold players.

Truth is a few are

Truth is in the parents mind they are in the real world not. You need to have hockey IQ at this point and unfortunately your kids dont have it.To the poster above we all know who you are your kid is one with very little hockey IQ you have to be able to do more then skate up and down the ice that is why he is on green and not playing for gold any longer you just cant handle the truth.

Please tell us who should be playing on the gold team.

4:42 there are a few green that should be on gold, if you had hockey IQ you would know this to be true. Keep sticking up for DW and his picks. I swear you must be exhausted so many years od bending over to DW unless the poster is DW in that case F OFF

truth hurts but there is not one kid from green that should be on gold you are an idiot. Have seen many greener games and the skilled plaayers you had are gone you are left with low skill level and IQ starting with the coach

AMEN! WELL SAID. AND THATS WHY HIS KID IS ON GREEEN. SOOOO GLAD HE WAS CUT AGAIN. GIVES HIM SOMETHING TO DO OUT HERE! LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLOLLOLOLO. HAVE FUN WITH THE "I DONT KNOW WHAT AN f1 IS" COACH.

OH DW. INHALE TOO MANY FUMES TODAY

THINKING YOU'RE THE DELUSIONAL ANGRY IDIOT WHO DOESN'T WANT TO ACKOWLEDGE A FEW GREENERS
WHO SHOULD BE PLAYING GOLD

There is no one to acknowledge you just do not get it they took players with skill and high hockey IQ and you greeners do not fit the bill.your kid will get his 5 goals again this year and you will be telling us that he should have been drafted but was not acknowledged because o f DW

TOOK PLAYERS WITH SKILL AND HOCKEY IQ ?

SERIOUSLY. PUT DOWN THE BOTTLE!

9:57

I hear a fire bell

Start the engine

Hockey IQ? Skill? on Gold?

Where? Who?

Now that's entertaining!

Well it is nowhere to be found on green get another drink big D your kid can skate but has no idea where the net is or what a 2 on 1 is . Please tell us which one of your super star players should be on gold.

We will see in a couple of months all the points that your little super stars rack up

Appears to be a llittle animosity between big d and JN .


Let the games begin.

Cant wait to see Gold choke out .... i watched a few practices and they are bad ... real bad. Come on they have 5 players who should be in FC .....

The irony is that both have their on unique style and should have been on gold from the beginning.
Too bad, if gold choose by pure skill and athleticism they would have been a power house in Ontario.
It really is too bad!

Better keep those 2 parents away from each other during the first gold vs green game.

own unique stlye your kid could not carry my kids stick and one kid had his chance and was brutal that is why he got 2 min a game and then cut. if he was a superstar he would havw showed it playing green but still could not do anything alot more ice timr no skill. The other kid still does not know how to skate with his head up and will get no ice time with gold

Just shut the fuck up.
Get on with things.
Geez
Your both getting very old already.

207 then it should be a good battle between gold 5 fc players and greens 18 fc players

They are both great penalty killers and work horses on the ice.
They may not be top scores but they wear down opponents for the score's. Any other coach and both would be same team and enjoying it.

thanks daddy

10:43 dw has nothing to fear that parent is outa here

which of the two is otta here 1 signed with gold one with green no one going anywhere you are a idiot

Correct 8:22

11:09 who are you talking about?

keep up daddies both your sons are the best in your minds

My son is on gold now and its about 5 yrs too late

My son was telling me there was a new goalie trying out tonight? Where did he come from.

What? Who

Just a fill in
One goalie unable to make it

Relax just a AA tender until ML comes back.

no doubt he was better than the brantford cut.

" Hockey I.Q.".....priceless.....5 out of the six d on gold can"t even spell.....I.Q

You really are an idiot the best thing gold has is there defence you are really showing your hockey IQ. Shows you know nothing about hockey. The next thing you are going to tell us is the green D ar far better then the gold D best in the league right.

don't you love it when guys that start using/repeating hockey terminology buzz phrases that they have heard like " hockey I.Q" and wait for it...."time and space" from sportsnet and tsn highlights.......ok "hears" one for you...."puck possession"...talk to the parents that have forwards on your team and ask them what they think about your d's "hockey I.Q".....and while your at it ask them for their opinion on....."first pass"....from your d....now if your captain goes back to "d".....the "hockey I.Q." just jumped up by 100%.....

Green coach. Nuff said. Best of luck. Hope you finish second in the weak division. try battling sun county and elgin for 6-8 games. bye now

Did the LJK slap the coach and force him to release two F1s? Only five now?

Hysterical. He got slapped with suspension when DD did exactly the same
Ironic how the season hasn't even started and LJK bod is turning a blind eye to the gold bs?

Actually I heard DD did get the same.

Not!

DD .. I mean DW ... I mean DD


LJK policy is the double standard

So both LJK coaches suspended before season even starts. The Alliance is not happy!
The one who should be suspended is KG and DW they choose all the F1s.

Some (not all) of you guys need to get a grip. If you think DW gives a rats a.. about the Green team and had any input on the SEVEN F1's including the ones who did not skate you have to give your head a shake. I would be more inclined to think DD had more input as he and SR are friends.
Have to agree however the board needs it's collective ass kicked for all the Green F1's and allowing anybody to get selected on any team that did not tryout.

733
How different is it with gold
It's not
They should get their asses kicked to
You are delusional if you think DW didn't have anything to do with green
FYI. They're not friends.
