Do paid minor hockey coaches get fired/removed if the team is not performing well? Just like the nHL and OHL coaches, I know in the Alliance it never happens unless it’s a legal issue.
If not should this happen to a coach if the team doesn’t improve/perform or show progress?
Like any paid position, if you are not performing, termination of employment should always be an option. You better believe that if my kid is on a team where the coach is being paid say $15k and they are not performing, we are going to have a problem. I would bet the association is not forking out the money in good faith and my fees are probably going up $500 or more to help cover the new cost. Paid coaching should only be a thing at the AAA level anyway. Is anyone aware of paid coaches at the single A/AA level?
About half of the coaches are paid in the youth AA loop. The GTHL and hockey Canada have made it so hard for the average hockey loving dad to coach a team. Every year coaches work off the ice increases, the admin required builds, more courses and the threats of suspension increase. I had a kid come to try out who from outside of the GTHL as was told I could be suspended for that. Like how do I know where all the kids coming from tryouts come from. Dressing room rules, music rules, parents meeting requirements, financial requirements, the list just continues to grow. To top it off refs have become control freaks and hand out suspensions to coaches like candy.
