To be very clear regarding the PWAA Wave 2, the manager and coach followed the advice of the club only to have it come back and bite them in the ass. They were assured there were no PDR issues and everything would be fine, on more than one occasion. Players were not intentionally left on the roster maliciously. The coach, nor the manager wanted to hurt the team in anyway. Hours upon hours of volunteer hours were given, only to be bashed and verbally abused, even threatened by parents. So before you spread vile , hurtful rumors, learn the facts. Maybe ask someone from the team and get the truth. You have no idea of what went on with this team!
But people do have an idea what went on with the team. Scoresheets were signed showing a player who did not play had played. I don't think that those involved in this deception did so with malice or exercised anything but bad judgement, but if you are trying to say that coach & mgr went to the Wave and stated "we have this issue with our roster" and the Wave came back and said: "Ok so what you do is, just put a kid on the roster and we'll hope nobody notices" I find that really hard to believe.
I also have been given information in regards to statements that have been made since then, that don't back up what you seem to be implying.
Many people volunteer hours to help their clubs and teams. A number of the people who visit this forum regularly have been team managers in the past, or are involved in some official capacity with their clubs. There are difficult parents on many teams, and nearly everyone I know has war stories involving other parents and crap that happens.
I take no joy in what happened to your team. Truly, I felt for your kids. At the end of the day, because we are talking about Peewee hockey and it's not that big of a deal, but it sucks to be deprived of something you earned. I thought your team did well this season in many ways. I wish you all well, and I'm sure that there will be options for you all this winter. I just don't see that there's any value to continuing with the narrative that some bitter parents screwed your team. The people involved in the deception made a mistake, and I can't help thinking they should have known better, because the obvious alternative was to have the organization go to the CAHA board and ask for an exemption, but that would have involved being forthcoming and transparent.
If anything, the coach, team and organization is being made an example of, and looking at it from the point of view of CAHA (which by the way all of the scaha teams including the wave are voting members of) I don't see any other way this could have played out.
Hope you all have a good spring, and I'm sure your kids will land on their feet in 2 months, only perhaps with a different jersey to wear come winter.
