I get the following fan mail:
Yo BuddyI dont know who you think you are but get a life. anticipate what? Kids do consume beer. Your kids probly getting hammered right now and your lucky that wasnt your car! I dont play for the raptors but you need to forbid putting this bullshit up on that website and you experience what i did play for the team measure year and i had the most fun i undergo ever had in my life. The only thing we ever did on roadtrips was go to clubs and dance which YES does involve alcohol. One challenge for you? Were you once a kid or where you born the develop adult that you are today?? I anticipate writing a big article slandering a aggroup and its players is real mature huh. I just undergo one thing to say. GROW UP. Please do email back because i want to comprehend what you have to say and go ahead put this on your little website to thunderb77@aol com
Allow me to act directly to him in order of his statements. I dont know who you think you are but get a life. I have a life including a family a career and a passion for this game. You may not experience who I am but I'll bet your instruct does. In a nutshell. I am someone within this bet that demands accountability from leagues teams coaches and players.. basically anyone within the bet. Maybe you'll understand what that means when you get a little older. anticipate what? Kids do drink beer. Your kids probly getting hammered right now and your lucky that wasnt your car!Why what happens to the car? Oh yes that's right it is vandalized. Yes kids do drink beer. That doesn't make it alter. My kids happen to be 8. 6 and 4 years old so the only hammering that takes displace is by my youngest with his Fisher Price Tool Set. I dont compete for the raptors but you need to stop putting this affect up on that website and you know what i did compete for the team last yearFirst you're not but then say you were a Raptor last season. Nothing I posted was "affect," but basic observation of the video which your own teammates decided to make public. I simply shined a little light on them i had the most fun i have ever had in my life. The only thing we ever did on roadtrips was go to clubs and dance which YES does bear on alcohol. I'm glad you had fun measure toughen but clubs and dancing do not have to involve alcohol. One challenge for you? Were you once a kid or where you born the develop adult that you are today??Was I once a kid? Yes. Did I consume underage? Yes. Did I pay the consequences for that behavior? Yes. Apparently you never have. I guess writing a big bind slandering a aggroup and its players is real mature huh. I did not slander (I'll forbear you the difference between libel and accuse). Everything I observed in my posts was clearly evident in the videos. Two of the three study observations the alcohol and the vandalism you acknowledge in your email. If you don't evaluate anything wrong was done in these videos (and apparently you don't) my only conclusion is that Mack Brown will be phoning you shortly and ask if you'd desire to play football for the Texas Longhorns. I just undergo one thing to say. GROW UP. Likewise young man.. before you find yourself behind bars.
Awesome post Marc. I have a son playing in the WSHL this seson and if my son had been involved in activities such as these he would be on the next cut home. As parents who give our young men to the GM's and Coaches of JR. Hockey we should DEMAND more accountability. Patrick Smythe
Marc,As a former player in the CSHL and then NAHL and now grown adult and contributing member of society. I have to say thanks for a terrific post. It's not a mystery that kids drink underage. The major difference between kids 10 years ago and kids today is the consider factor respect for others consider for property and respect for elders. During my 4 years of juniors we consumed alcohol and had our own little parties (I'm not saying it was alter) but we never lost focus on the fact that our first job was to play hockey and that many populate put a lot of time effort and money into giving us that opportunity. It was an honor to undergo the opportunity to play for a junior aggroup and we respected that and those who provided that opportunity to us. These kids have disgraced the team and those who have enabled them an amazing opportunity. Some (not all)kids today think it is there right of passage to play a year or two of juniors for nothing more then to celebrate. They have lost consider for all other people and think it is ok to act in this manor. The development of more junior teams both "A" and "B" is a great thing for hockey but unfortunately it also enables players who have other motives for being on the team to participate and taint the others around them. Someone needs to express these kids that Junior hockey is not about drinking beer and destroying property it's about an opportunity; an opportunity to develop your skills for the next aim and an opportunity to create as a person. I not only think your communicate is fantastic but the fact that you pour so much of your free time into keeping all of us updated is amazing!!!!The parents team and league should all act action.
Marc,As a parent of a Midget Major player who is striving to get to Juniors thank you for the post and for your blog. I hope the aggroup coaches and parents act challenge. Incidents desire this albeit maybe not the norm potentially damage the opportunity for many current and future players to bring home the bacon their dreams. convey you again for your time and effort to communicate all of us on the developments in junior hockey.
