Why the million questions? Did you want the award yourself? Associations and companies give out awards ALL the time and don't need to provide anyone with the reasons. You aren't entitled to an audit of past recipients and/or explanations of the reasons for or against the choice. This is so ridiculous. You don't agree with it fair enough that's your right but it sounds like a crusade at this point.
Don't you think it's "convenient" that a guy who has a negative reputation "wins" some volunteer award? No one has cared about the past winners but it's probably been given to someone deserving.
These board members need to read the room.
I agree, just like the year he "won" coach of the year. Not one of our parents voted for it. Actually I don't think anyone but H O L L Y and C O R B Y voted for it. I'm not sure what MM has on the association, but they are just as sleezy and corrupt as he is. Nobody respects the new president, we all just laugh at him when he struts through the arenas puffing his chest out.
The AMHA is a joke, plain simple. Their BS registration fee of $975 is $200 or MORE compared to other associations, and for what? What exactly does anyone get for that money? absolutely sweet eff all.
Does he wear his coat though? So you can recognize that he's on the executive and you can stop him to talk to him?
I don't think I've ever seen anyone wearing those jackets.

Guess I touched a nerve. I asked the questions because I would love for my son’s coach to receive this award, not for you to be offended. It’s a shame there is no transparency within the AMHA. And since you don’t want to answer any questions I will ask more - why I am not entitled to know who past recipients of the award were and how long they have been giving this award out? Hiding something……. I wonder how the Dinsmore family feels about this?

And who this amazing coach that you think deserves an award?

If you would love your sons coach to win the award than get involved, volunteer, attend the AMHA meetings they open up to the members. You could ask all of your questions there and suggest a nominee. Alternatively if you dont want to spend your own time giving back like this particular coach did all year and prior then go to the ACC and check the cabinets - maybe the award will be in there and you can see the previous recipients names on it.

Did you go to the AMHA AGM meeting last week? My guess is probably not. You can't have it both ways in life. You want transparency than you could have gone to the meeting and had the transparency but like most sideline parents they don't actually want to put in the work and time that it takes to volunteer they just want to moan and groan about how it could be done better. Step up and volunteer your time or stop complaining about those that literally take one for the team- year after year

take one for the team? if you're talking about MM, you're full of shyte. He doesn't take one for the team, the team takes one in the cullo for him. That man is the most self serving, narcissistic man I have ever met. The ONLY reason he takes that team is so his son can play AA hockey. Most dedicated? The only thing that man is dedicated to is ruining hockey for children one kid at a time.
To the other point, yes i do volunteer, for multiple sports organizations as well as charity groups, so take your high and mighty attitude and shove it straight up your arse. I think we have all had enough of you C OR BY coming on here and defending your bum buddy.

Nobody bothers speaking up anymore bc it falls onto deaf ears. The AMHA is there to prop each other up, pat each other on the back and somehow make each other feel far more important than they are - using kids and minor hockey as a vessel. The fact that they kept MM as a head coach - especially after this past season - AND gave him an award. Laughable.
He did volunteer his time, yes. But what were the motives behind it? To feel powerful or compensate for his lack of athletic ability and general sports knowledge and protect his son. Sure, you can repeat the same rhetoric that it's all of the other families fault. Problem parents. Bad kids. But there seems to be a pattern with this coach and the feedback he receives (and the AMHA receives about him). If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck ...
Congratulations on the award.

Wow all of those multiple sports organizations and charities you volunteer for must be thrilled to have someone who speaks with such class serve them. I bet you have won so many awards yourself Let the others who can actually articulate their views with intelligence and class speak for you. The loudest ones are always the ones compensating for attributes they were not blessed with themselves.

I have no problem speaking with class, but you don’t deserve the effort. If you’d like to speak about my volunteer efforts, leave a name and number and I’ll be happy for forward you the contact information for those organizations. As for awards, some of us do things quietly, not for awards or accreditation, but just to help where it’s needed. I've had all I can take reading your nonsense. You come on here endorsing a coach who does things to kids that could be considered criminal. You sing his praises, give him awards, for what? To cover up all the complaints and terrible reviews he receives from paying parents. Seriously C OR By enough is enough already.
