Then they hit high school and sometimes and outsider they haven't dealt with over the years is the coach and its a oh he make the decisions. I coached a few years after high school and even way back then it was tough as a coach with parents either wanting you to sit someone or play someone more. The  younger kids I coached the philosophy was all kids will play and traveling teams were for solid competition and some parents still bitched at you as a coach. Hockey is a great sport and I love the game just struggle with the politics at times. I played thru HS many years ago and still miss the game. GL both BHS AND CHS this evening. dukgnfsnMy dad never really yelled at coaches but thru my years there was a particular referee that took a keen interest in my game in particular through the years  and seemed to enjoy calling penalties on me and my dad did mess with him a lot and it was kinda funny because others knew it and also ribbed that ref on that also. The refs were the same throughout your carrier as a youngster so if some type of situation started when you were young you were stuck with that ref for a lot of your years. I don't know how but he got in the way of a lot of pucks I cleared thru the years.</blockquote>
