    How did you come up with that based on what Rock said?  Who are you accusing of sexual misconduct? Better get your facts straight and not hide behind a forum!

    Not accusing anyone of sex crimes. Or anything else. I just wouldn't make a blanket statement about not caring what a coach does off the ice. That's pretty much how not-so-good people remain coaching kids. Sex perverts, crooks, drug abusers, frauds, you name it. I don't know what the coach in question has or has not done, and really don't care. Just saying maybe people should care a little more about how people act off the ice, is all. Nothing further to read into than that.

    So if you want someone that hold the kids accountable he is for you. If you cant handle your child being disiplined then Probably not for you. Some parents think they know best and just cant handle their little "superstar" being held accountable.  God for bid my kid did something wrong and he was held accountable.. sometimes he does things unconventional and some dissagree with that so they trash him.. to each their own.  I've seen 1st hand what he has done with kids and parents that are willing to buy in and learn.  But some just refuse and blame others for their issuse.. common in today's society.  Is he a salesman? Of course he is, it's his job and his livelyhood, as is every other paid coach/team/spring program.  They all as are salesman.  But he is worth my money.  I dont give a crap what his background is, what he played, or what he did off ice.. I care about my kids progress and learning and development on ice.  And he is one of the best I've delt with for that.  He knows how to get everything out of every kid willing to work and learn. That to me is priceless..  only way to decide on anything in today's society is give it a go yourself, you will always have good nd bad reviews, they only review that matters is your own experience.. goodluck with whatever you decide. 

    Sounds like you wouldn't have any problems with Chico Adrahtas coaching your kid, then. 

  3. How about charging the bullies with harassment? Fire the coaches. Like mentioned above, suspending the program 4 years does nothing but take away opportunity for innocent people.

     On the topic of picking up pucks, carrying water bottles, etc. - everyone should be doing it. As a coach, the whole team would be doing these things. Nobody being singled out. A real Captain wouldn't allow it, either.

    Lots of high schools have now canceled winter sports until the third week of January now. But this is going to conflict with track, baseball, and other spring sports if extended 

    Well, too bad then. Make a choice. More ice time for the ones that choose hockey.

    I doubt it. I see no reason that the season can't extend into April & May. That would be good for the rinks instead of charging reduced rates during the lower demand part of the year.

    I thought the same thing. No reason games that were canceled/delayed can't be rescheduled even into the summer. Unless, of course, teams or rinks have a monetary incentive not to do it.

     Not to mention location, pia is in a drug infested ghetto. That area has been discussed here multiple times. 

    What difference does it make? Is the arena drug-infested? I haven't had any problems there. 

    Alpha's in Harmar, you got Rostraver, you got Frozen Pond in the confederacy of Butler, none are in the middle of Bel Air. 

    The ice is still frozen the same at all these places.

    Well I guess the shutdown doesn't apply to a local organization. it is confirmed that the Esmark teams are all traveling to Dallas Texas this weekend to continue to play. HOW are they even able to pull this off since EVERY team seems to be on a pause BUT them?  Wonder if mid am knows about this?

     

    All of them, or just the older teams?

    I have officiated quite a bunch of PAHL and independent games (teams from all over) since the season started; I wear a mask into the rink, but it is off as soon as I enter the officials room. Knock on wood--I have not contracted the virus--or at least showed symptoms. No one in my household has either. I am active in communicating with the players and I really have not "avoided" close contact on the ice during scrums and such. Am I lucky? Did I have it back in November/December of last year? I am flummoxed, but maybe I have just been luck.

    What is causing the actual spread? Where is this happening? I really do not know, but I do wear my mask at retail stores and going to the ref room and to the parking lot.

     

    I don't believe that on the ice, in fleeting moments of closeness, in a big arena, that there is enough viral load to easily infect anybody. 

    Locker rooms, carpooling, sleep-overs, the kids' parents taking advantage of "freedom" to go to bars, restaurants, and being generally careless is where I would wager players are getting it.

    Catastrophe. You Snowflakes sure love to use words to try to scare people.

    Try these two words.

    Natural Selection.

    We all learned about it on National Geographic's Wild Kingdom but apparently some can't accept it.

    Natural selection? Let's go and take peoples' heart meds, insulin, chemotherapy, etc. away then, too. Only the strong survive. F the rest. 

  10. Eddie Shore, I'm truly sorry you went/are going through that. I really am. We don't agree on some things, and that's fine. Just because I think on one hand that some businesses couldn't just stay open and be business as usual, because it would have been a disaster- I don't think that those affected should've been left to just hang out to dry, either. You can call it "welfare" or whatever you want, but something should've been done to prevent people from losing everything. What it may have been, it should've been figured out. 

    FWIW, I too received an unneeded stimulus check, which I spent much of it on takeout and generous tips.

    Yea, f!$&k all of us who lost our jobs at those bars, lost our homes now etc...

    That’s how YOU SOUND

    What a dumbass, ingnorant way for YOU to think!

    No, not at all. I feel deeply bad for anyone who has been monetarily affected by this. But that's not the fault of shutdowns or limited capacities. It's the fault of your federal government that is not willing to help those people. 

    That is where the anger needs to be placed. 

    Look at how every other country has helped its citizens, and how little help has been given here to the people. It's a good example of how the United States has a long way to go.

    How do you not avoid a person not wearing a mask?  When I see a person I can tell they are not wearing a mask and I don’t go with 6 feet of them.  We are all staying at home and only leaving for essentials.  Pretty easy to do.  I only go to the Dr office (everyone there is wearing a mask), and grocery store or pharmacy.  99% of everyone there is wearing one, if I see someone without one I just avoid them.  Isn’t that what everyone else is doing?

    I would imagine he has to be around quite a few more places and people than we do, also in every part of the state.

    People ARE going die, with or without Covid. It sucks, but it's not something that is new to anyone.

    Allegheny county is reporting 34 new deaths today and they want that number to provide shock and awe. But if you dig down you will find more exact details and they should NOT be surprising because people over 80 die on a regular basis and in this case 28/34 were over 80 80. That's 82% of those 34. Add in the 4 in their 70's and its 94%.

     

    The Allegheny County Health Department reported Wednesday that 34 new deaths related to COVID-19 were reported to the state’s Electronic Death Reporting System.

    The dates of the deaths ranged from Nov. 20 to Dec. 8. One person was in their 40s, one in their 50s, four people in their 70s, 16 in their 80s and 12 people in their 90s. Nineteen deaths were associated with long-term care facilities, the county reported.

     

     

    So if an 80 year-old grandpap dies of covid, well then F him. Doesn't matter that maybe he could have lived another 1, 2, 10+ years if he didn't die from having covid, right? He's OLD. Not worth much of anything other than depleting social security, right? I mean, they're in nursing homes, amiright? What good are they? I'm sick of them old people standing in the way of my going on my fancy night out to Olive Garden. Their lives are a small price to pay so I can go to the barber and get my crew cut/fade. And don't get me started on not being able to sit at the bar and do karaoke on Saturday. I'm sick of these old people dying and ruining my self-entitled life. 

     

    That's how you sound. 

    What a dumbass, ignorant way to think.
