I heard the competition wasn't that great.
Comments like that is exactly why your son will never make it to the state championship level and exactly why your team was eliminated.
Skates, for godsakes, at this point can't you tell that you are being trolled? Luckily we get to see your response to a post lacking sportsmanship is to come back with one that drops the bar even lower. I'm guessing nirradus was giggling to himself the entire time, especially when you boldly declared that his kid would never partake in the very experience (CAHA championship) his kid played in last season. If you feel a bit dumb knowing you fell for it and put your foot in your mouth, welcome to the internet.
My kid did not play for the Bears this year, so I can acknowledge without prejudice that the club as a whole had plenty to celebrate besides a 1st place finish in Peewee A, including sending their Peewee AA team to the CAHA tournament, their Peewee B team to states after winning SCAHA, their Bantam A team to states after being runner up in the SCAHA championship, and having their Bantam AA team win CAHA and move on to the national championship tournament next weekend.
I know lots of the families at the club, and they are classy folks who appreciate the sport and the competition, and wished your OC team congratulations and the best representing SoCal. I watched the semi final game between your teams, and it was a tightly contested 1 goal game that all the parents and kids should feel proud to have been a part of.
You will play these same kids and families in years to come. Hell, in the future you may even end up on the same teams. Take a deep breathe, appreciate the accomplishments your team had this year, and try not to get bitter and angry at a whole group of people you don't know. I know it was a long season, and I hope you and your family can enjoy a quick breather, because spring hockey has so many people back on the habitrail wheel. If you're moving up to tier next season, you'll hardly have time to air the equipment out!
