Bummer the refs agreed so it should stand.

Some Bruins’ parents say their efforts to challenge the league have raised other concerns. While the association describes itself on its website as a “non-profit, non-denominational, volunteer-run community organization,” the parents say they can find no information about annual meetings, a league charter, budget details or corporate registration

non denominational? sounds all catholic to me......

But IMO this is no different than that team/coach who threw a game so they would get a better seed in the next round of playoffs.....(which many were totally against).

I dunno about the illegal stick, you see in the NHL all the time defensmen passing their stick to a goalie if he loses his......

 

[Hey you]

I remember that one only problem with that is that he should have kept his mouth shut.

I wonder what Hockey Canada and OMHA think about this; furthermore, I wonder what these associations will think about the league with the accountability issues.

Oh the parents need to own their irresponsible attitudes regarding league accountibility and procedures.

Anyone who has been involved in amateur sport knows that a league has to meet expectations of the Provincial and Federal Sports Association. Any league must provide all necessary information such as budgets, charter, discipline, honourariums, certification, background checks and much more. If they don't, their rights are revoked and so is their insurance. So how can this happen?

Everything in amateur sports is about accountibility, certification and covering your ass!

Who loses out, the amateur athlete.
