Yes, the game of hockey is competitive. But if people are not going to get ice time, they should not have been given the opportunity to make the team. Practice is what makes perfect, and if girls were given the opportunity to make the team, they should deserve the opportunity to play, and improve. If girls do not return next year, it is their choice. As far as I'm concerned, they are making the right decision. No one needs to be manipulated, or told they will be part of the hockey family and then turn around and get burned. After all, it is just a game. The game of hockey should be fun, and spell out the word team for me. What do you think it means? I always thought it was a group coming together to reach a goal. That is not what I would call a team.
so now you are saying those who did not get playing time were not trying?
Would that go for you too?
Don't insult the efforts of the teammates you care so much about.
Nobody painted you with the same brush as anyone, so don't try to create that trojan horse. Your responses have been quite civil.
And I am sure a new coach will have all of the energy or more then Bill Fox had. THis is not the first time a team has changed coaches. Check out the Pistons last year. Looks like things worked out pretty well there. You give Bill Fox too much credit for the success of this team. Look within to yourselves and your teammates. GIve yourself some credit!
Sounds like a lot of people are giving you some good advice.
This isn't the Pistons. Our team doesn't have the kind of resources to find a replacement coach. Lets be realistic here.
I put in the effort, I got ice time. This isn't about me.
If you want to talk about who didn't get enough ice time that deserved it, I'd be more than happy to, but here wouldn't be appropriate. If you feel so passionatly about it you can email me at rockysilverlight@aol.com
It seems like a few people are opposed the things I've expressed, adults and players alike though anyone has yet to step forward and reveal themselves. I think that on neither side of this arguement is going to change their opinion. We can keep it going or we can stop. It really doesn't make a difference either way.
I don't know who keeps posting these comments about our hockey team and the fact that it would be a lot better off without Mr. Fox, but it's obvious that whom ever it is, hasn't been kept up to date on the success that the hockey team has achieved over the past few years. 5 state titles over a span of 7 years, is an amazing accomplishment, and it could not have taken place without the hard work and dedication of our team, and most importantly our coaches. Hockey has been an amazing experience for me, as well as the majority of the team, and has made my first two years of high school incredible. Being able to be a part of a team where winning is a tradition and where I am able to have a great time both on and off the ice, has been an opportunity that i would have never even thought i could have had. Whether your issues with our coach be because of playing time that a certain person may or may not have received over the past season(s), do you not realize that you are ruining this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for everyone else who
( ... )
keep arguing ice time and that winning equals success, but as long as you do you miss the point and drive the nails deeper into the coffin
gee I guess an entire adminsitration and board of education is made up of a bunch of gutless morons. yea they saw a coach with a bunch of championships and decided it would be much easiery to ask him to resign, because keeping him would have been soooo hard to do. Yea, right.
whether or not u like the former coaches or not, they are not the only people who can coach and care
i don't think anybody is willing to say the x-coaches didn't have lots of energy and give up time. they did. And they probably cared a lot too.
give yourself a little more credit then having to depend on somebody else to have made this a great opportunity and don't ruin the great opportunity by refusing to believe it still can be one.
i hesitate to leave a comment cause i dont want to make things worse. i'm not going to try to argue anyones comments either, cause i know they'll just think of something else to say to argue mine and the comments will just keep going, and everyone is entitled to their own opinion. However, by leaving all these comments, by posting in live journals, by away messages, and by profiles, we have only made a bigger problem. Although having the coach fired, probably was going to cause some problems and get some people mad no matter what, things have gotten out of control and way to much anger has been expressed to teamates. I hope all the hockey girls that read this try to move on and not hold a grudge against anyone just because they have a differnt opinion. We should still all be nice to eachother. It's not a personal issue and it shouldnt become one.
You're absolutley right, this shouldn't become a personal issue. This, however, is my free space. I post here exactly what I'm feeling, whether it be good or bad. You and the others that commented chose to respond to what I had to say. Livejournals and away messages are not problems, there merely forums on which some of us chose to voice out, especially when it feels like we're not being heard elsewhere.
do you all not realize it doesnt matter how many players or how many parents you can get to rally together to get Fox back. Mr. Outlaw has already interviewed all returning players and parents. So, obviously parents and players are either denying what they said during their interview or Mr. Outlaw doesnt care that however many people support them. He obviously found enough wrong with the situation to not ask Fox back, so what will continuing the process do, eveyone has already had their personal discussion with mr. outlaw.

Would that go for you too?
