Could only be 1of 2 players, both forwards

Easy to see, its CRC8

Would agree, CRC8 is by far their best forward, just not a team player

is CRC #8 on the 3rd line?

Looks like hes doing better there, maybe it was his linemates?

Does he know his linemates. Serious question?

He is going to YSE next year, I guess he got sick of loosing to them and decided to join them.

CRC coach is getting exactly what he deserves. He had a great team but it wasn’t enough. Karma is a Not Allowed!

Great is a very big word.
They never played on Sunday
Worst league in Ontario

Great team compared to the epic fail it became.

For anybody who knows hockey and can appreciate the game would agree that what CRC Coach did with the group he started with was great and if there wasn't a chase to go undefeated, they would have gone undefeated with the team the HAD. Promises were made, players were ignored and they have gone backwards in development! Prove me wrong CRC

Lost more games, let in more goals and couldn’t even compete with teams outside their loop. Coach’s attitude changed over time. Started believing his own BS and caring more about his own personal ‘gains’ than the teams success. He tore up a good group of kids to make his ‘super’ team. It blew up in his face, alienated everyone and now he can fade back into obscurity where he belongs.

CRC definately loosing players next year, 9 gone to the G Rebs I am told, Also loosing one to YSE but not sure who.

Either you are stirring shit or dumb as well. Which is it?

He’s actually both dumb and stirring shit up. However he’s not right in stating that CRC8 is toxic. This has been well known during his Sudbury days. Family is too involved and always in the coaches ear. Player has good skills but has always played in low pressure settings. Similar to CRC91 does not fare well in high level competition. They both play finisher as they don’t work hard. At this age many agree it doesn’t bode well for development nor culture in the locker room. Now it’s running to our locker room and coach is having to deal with this rather than just teaching the rest of our boys how to play hockey and advance through the playoffs .

Honestly speaking RS is shit as a coach. The players put him on the map. We put this team together and at that time the coach. He didn’t recruit, the parents did. He didn’t develop the kids we did extras. The only time he “recruited” was CRC8 and even then CRC8 parents wanted to go through OMHA route because the player doesn’t do well against G teams. Seen it many times before. It’s not like players wanted to go to CRC saying we heard the coaching was amazing. We came because we all knew each other and the parents and players were a team - a family!
RS you fcked up amd broke up our family. When that happens this is the result you’ll experience.

While everybody can feel your hate for CRC, if you weren't so upset you could see the talent that is there, just not utilized. When you say they have never competed outside their loop that is incorrect. They have always competed with the top teams, just could never follow through. Thats on the coaches and their style, or lack of style. If you remember, they did beat a bunch of all star teams up in Thunder Bay last year, so they do know how to play on Sunday, but that was a different team, and when they returned, it was back to reality! There is a forward coach who thinks 91 is the answer to every situation, when its evident he doesn't have the fitness to go from blue line to blue line. A defence coach who looks like he isn't sure what to do behind the bench, so he is a glorified door man, and a head coach who is trying to please the wrong people and cant grow with the game so the team will suffer. Ths season is almost done for them, next season will be a struggle to finish first again, AND it will be a very selfish season if they dont take control. Key pieces are moving and no matter who they decide to bring in, wont help. Just a dad here with too much time on his hands and who has been through it all before! Enjoy the ride people

RS mentality of, i'll wait for tryouts to cut/add players doesn't work these days. Players already know in Jan/Feb where they are going or at minimum skating/talking with other coaches. Its selfish to not consider what players are doing the season after. Sure its distracting, but either commit or let players know its not working. Yeah its an uncomfortable conversation, but either you have the confidence in your abilities as a coach or you dont have the confidence in a players ability and you let them go. No hard feelings, just life.

I can tell you from past experience that RS talks to the players he’s keeping in January. He’s lying to your face. If he has told you that he’s not doing anything until tryouts it means you’re a bubble player. he will cut and replace your kid on the last day of the season if something better or more lucrative comes along. You should make some calls asap. I’ve watched him ruin the futures of many players over the years without warning. Guy has zero consideration for anyone but himself.
