Hockey Sophist - I can only speak from over 8 years of caha/scaha experience and two boys who have done skills/camps since age 7 and older. I've never observed Bickely ripping on the little guys but he has a short temper for dumb shit, that I've seen. Have been through all the named coaches and my boys always prefer his skills because he pays attention and provides feedback, doesn't just blow smoke the entire clinic - oh, and his price is one of the most reasonable. I totally agree that his bench leadership is lacking, but for skills - he's one of the best.
