If our coach continues to rolls lines in key situations you can hardly call that coaching. Say what you want, but I expect more...............

Good luck!

No problem teaching all 3 lines the power play and kill? You mean that you think that teaching less than all the kids the power play and kill is ok at the younger ages as your message implies? Sounds to me that this is more important to you only and not your team or coach. Do you define the "key situations" or do you let your coach do this?

Always will be a situation where the key players should be on the ice. Like I said. Rolling the lines in all situations is hardly called coaching. Its called keeping the parents and kids happy.
Soooooooooo, since he's doing this to keep the parents and kids happy, the only person upset is obviously you. :lol: :lol: Please give me your record so we can see how poorly your coach has done.
