I have a question for all of the youth hockey coaches and youth hockey directors out there:

Are really, really, really, difficult parents…of really, really good hockey players…worth the aggravation?
Are they worth the aggravation of the consistent negativity around the rink and around the parent group? Are they worth the aggravation of the consistent badgering of “what have you done for me and what have you done for my kid lately?
The me me me mentality.

I feel like a lot of coaches and hockey directors are hesitant to step in and have some conflict with those parents for fear that they're going to leave and go to another organization.

For me:

Don't let the door hit your behind on the way out.

Hockey is all about culture and the experience of your kids and your families. And there’s nothing that kills that culture more than toxic, negative parents.

So…serious question. If you have difficult parents - are they worth the aggravation?

Began my hockey coaching career in the 80’s. Made it through somehow for about 30+ years. Here is how coaching has changed over those years in my opinion. I’m sure all of us “Old School” guys would agree.

@MoneybaggH0E @JD_Jerbear @ThisIsSpartaMSU Please no.

[Justin Spiro @DarkoStateNews]

Why go to Michigan State?

Lori Anne Dickerson teaches there.

If you know, you know.

I'm not sure if that was his last game as a Leaf, but William Nylander was arguably Toronto's best player in that series.

It feels like they need to clone him rather than trade him, but it's going to be an interesting offseason.
