When I played rep as a kid, I never had a parent coach. Only HL and select had parent coaches. This is a huge problem but unfortunately, there aren’t any non-parent coaches volunteering. Could be that they don’t want to deal with garbage boards or crazy hockey parents…
If they paid their coaches like they do in other sports that would motivate more people to want to coach and the caliber would most likely improve as well. Dealing with problematic boards and crazy hockey parents on their own time is not worth the headache for many people.

I too live a long way from Aurora and can't stop reading this thread.

It's nice but not really nice, to see other associations have messed up boards as well. Our association has pretty much had the same board for almost 10 years and you basically have to agree with everything they do so that you can be on the board as well. There's no elections and not even advertising to say "come join the board". It's a bunch of volunteers who say it's for the kids but it's really to stroke their own egos. They aren't doing it for the right reasons. We also had some controversy with a volunteer award last year where it was given to a buddy of someone on the board and then this year, that person was given preferential treatment for a coaching position. Again, it's all about who you know, not what you know.

Unfortunately, our board doesn't change because no one wants to take on the responsibility which includes all the crap you have to put up with from the city, parents and other associations. It's easier to just show up to the rink and watch your kids play.

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.
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?
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.

lol MM and EM - you know people feel embarrassed for your kids, right? Do you not have any shame for them? You are selfish humans to force 2/3 of them onto teams they dont belong on?! You're just setting them up to be disappointed and potentially talked down on, because they are on a team they don't deserve to be on. Awful parenting. How dare you subject other people's children to your disfunction?

What do you think is more likely?
I mean, whomever the "AMHA advocate" is, they are either a child with minimal literacy skills or a LEGIT AMHA representative. Both make sense, because both potentially can't distinguish the proper use of "then" from "than". The "advocate" seems less educated than a 15 year old, with zero tact and complete lack of ethic, so I'm gonna go with the AMHA. Release the parent surveys you disgusting turds. Let's judge for ourselves. #releasethesurveys

You seem to care alot about him, this award and CS. It must really annoy you that not every one agrees with you. You dont speak for the whole hockey world as much as you would like to think you do. If your kid has left the organization why do you devote so much time to this thread?
