WBL A Coaches
Some dad with a grudge because his kid doesn't make the A Peewee team his 1st year gets himself elected Traveling Director of the WBL Hockey Association and fires all the A coaches. Including probably one of the best coaches in youth hockey Scott Hambly the A Bantam coach and USA Select 15 coach.......unbelievable what a Yahoo!

Re: WBL A Coaches
Every program has director with a grudge. Best thing for Hambly is to take his new team and beat the bears. Who fires all the coaches - no class!buzzershot wrote:Some dad with a grudge because his kid doesn't make the A Peewee team his 1st year gets himself elected Traveling Director of the WBL Hockey Association and fires all the A coaches.

buzzershot should do his homework before he starts rumors ! the new traveling director didnot fire all a coaches he just said that all coaches had to be reinterviewed because of feed back from parents. he's just doing what he should be and that is listening to all parents opinions on coaches and deciding on whats best for all kids development. sometimes change is needed and if there is alot of complaints about a coach something needs to change no matter how long he's been a coach. I'am glad he has the balls to get things changed. many associations just keep coaches because they are parents or friends with somebody on the board and in the long run the association suffers.

And as we all know, when parents complain about coaches they are always being completely level headed and impartial, with just the right amount of perspectivefunmom wrote:buzzershot should do his homework before he starts rumors ! the new traveling director didnot fire all a coaches he just said that all coaches had to be reinterviewed because of feed back from parents. he's just doing what he should be and that is listening to all parents opinions on coaches and deciding on whats best for all kids development. sometimes change is needed and if there is alot of complaints about a coach something needs to change no matter how long he's been a coach.

Well I guess O'Shayyyynuts must be a Yahoo supporter!!! Word is now Yahoo got so much grief he may have reevaluated his decicison on Hammer but it's not confirmed as of yet. Too bad about the A peewee coach McFarlane he was also a great youth coach. He just ran into a bunch of nutty parents the last couple of years!!

I will ask again...exactly when was this Bantam coach fired? Did the board member ever call him and give him the Donald - "You're Fired!"? Or are you being a bit creative with how your explaining the situation?buzzershot wrote:Well I guess O'Shayyyynuts must be a Yahoo supporter!!!

Tuesday June 28th Fiddle(Yahoo) told Scott Hambly, Scott Shaffer and Sean Padden that their services as A Bantam coaches for next season would not be needed. About two weeks prior to that Kevin McFarlane and Mike Kaupp had been told the same for A Peewees all for unknown reasons......but everyone knows why(nutty parents and bubble kids). Since then past players have been organizing a meeting to support their old coaches who they have alway respected and loved playing for (July 31st...I think...on facebook). Some back peddaling has happened since the firing of coaches but it is still unclear as to what that has involved. That is all I know. My son played for all these coaches in the WBL Association and was very successfull in WBL High School Hockey because of them. Now if their was any dout you know where I stand.

How do you know this? So let me get this straight, the coach actually gets fired but O'Shay says now the coach is back? Usually if somebody gets fired, they move on to other things, feeling bitter and disenfrachised and maybe even disgusted with the whole situation. Something tells me we don't have all the facts here. But I've always said, don't let the facts get in the way of a good rumor.buzzershot wrote:Tuesday June 28th Fiddle(Yahoo) told Scott Hambly, Scott Shaffer and Sean Padden that their services as A Bantam coaches for next season would not be needed.
