Its like.. when you watch a train wreck... and you know you should run in and help out.. but you can't stop watching it.. waiting for it...
Maybe more like.. back in 2nd grade.. when you knew Jessie was about to get his clock cleaned.. but you kept watching.. cheering.. waiting....
The personal shit needs to stop. Seriously. It isn't hockey related.. its uncomfortable to read.. and its downright childish. Im not a moderator here.. but I know they read all of the BS that everyone on here posts. I would love if they stepped in and asked.. however pointedly they assume to do it.. that the childish crap stop. Keep it classy. Keep it hockey related. I'd rather this NOT turn into an episode of Maury.
Goalie Dad.. Any lines on the games this weekend? Thanks!
...wait. Maybe I should say ... Mr. Goalie Dad. ... nevermind.
There was a board that did what you are suggesting, it was called SoCalHockey, they monitored the boards and gave 30 day suspensions....the board ended up sucking, that is why this board was created, I also think the posts get odd once in a while, but if they sensor anything but names and numbers of kids, this board will turn into what it was created to replace.
I remember that board, nothing like sitting back Monday Morning with a hot cup of coffee and read the crazy posts. (Makes me miss Cougar Dad)
But people were out of control and COLD, they would forget the players were 10-12 (the group that took it too far were PeeWee AA 98&99) they would call players out by number and bitch about the player. They gave some really good players, nasty nick names and it wasn't nice. They hated the guy who owns KHS and rant on and on about KHS Jr., forgetting he is just a kid who wants to play hockey and by the way that kid was AWESOME and a very nice boy.
Mr. KHS got tired of all the crap being said about him, his club and most of all his 11 year old son. So Mr. KHS hired a lawyer and had a few letters sent to the old board ownership.
That is when they started to crack down. People got pissed and started this board.
This board started out as the new place to come bitch about the Wildcats. But time moves on, Clubs changer owners, Coaches change teams, the CRAZY good kids that pissed everyone off at the time left to better hockey markets.
Honestly nothing I've seen on these board over the last few seasons has been anything like the nasty comments that gave birth to this site.
Most of us that were on the old boards have kids that have aged out or stopped playing so they can enjoy the high school years. The new parents are a kinder generation :-)
Enjoy the time and remember they are only kids, we are all just families.
Now back to the witty banter :-)
