    the players would much rather win it all, vs being given the opportunity to put up 9 points in a 15 goal win. 

    I wouldn't call this statement a slam dunk. It certainly should be, but youtube/insta/tiktok along with parents and the love of the highlight play have skewed the concept of team a lot over the last 8-10 years.

  2. 100% - publish them anytime possible, but once published they're final. Parents F off.

    Don't get me wrong, so do I enjoy seeing my kid's accomplishments where others can see them on web pages such as the PIHL and others as they progressed.

    However, having watched any of those games I will also know which kid won important face-offs. Blocked shots, hard fore-check, positioning and all the other things nemesis mentioned are what create good hockey players and better teammates. I can leave the rink knowing his stats, if any but more importantly acknowledge the little things that few people notice.

    Sort of like Lindsey Horan said about US soccer fans, this really does apply to a lot of hockey parents.

    For the 14 and under crowd on here, don't get so caught up in the skills training as there is far too much of that. Find Coaches who will teach your kid how to play the game and they will be successful not only in hockey, but in life.

    If your "AAA" team is being outscored 164-2 in 15 games and you continue to tell people your kid plays AAA hockey.............. you might be a delusional hockey parent.

    Just because your kid plays AA, doesn’t mean you have to talk crazy behind a screen

    Wait, what? I'm talking crazy?

    I simply pointed out some facts (people hate those) and then offered an opinion.
