jsm7302 Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I'm pushing lacrosse pretty heavy while my son plays drums and daughter plays piano. Im letting them try whatever they want but am steady with lacrosse; like hockey but cheaper and easier to attain college scholarships. Less BS too.

Certainly politics involved, whether it was High School or at the tennis club events. I recall 'politics' in swimming, wrestling, track/cross country. I dont have experience regarding fencing, but I'll assume it exists. The best way to avoid politics is to make sure the kid sucks at everything.

We do a raffle, subsidized by local businesses. I think we make about 10k on it. At time of registration, the player is charged an extra $200. It's up to them to sell the tix and make the money back. We just had our AGM this week, we have 170k sitting in our chequing account, due to multi line COVID discounts from all 1,561 levels of government, here. We're refunding half of registration costs from the past year. The biggest money maker we ever had was hosting an OHL pre season game, in which we were smart enough to get McDavid. Made 50k in two hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 First big spend of the new (next) season with uniform orders. Holy fuck. At least the jerseys are on sale for 150! but when putting in the jersey order, it lists you can not pick 0, 60, 69, or 99. what’s the significance of 60?

Made 50k in two hours. That sounds like the entire organization. Here, the individual teams are tasked with the fund raising, based on how many games, practices and tournaments they expect to play. We wouldn’t have the manpower to host a game like that. Plus, we’re affiliated with the local AHL team, so something like that is limited. Some of the local former pros are coaches and are always around the rink, so you can’t charge tickets to meet people they see every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuddyInTheMiddle Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Thought I would bump this back to the top of the thread since there is almost nothing NHL related to discuss here. We had our Tier 2 season opening showcase last weekend. Anyone who coaches(manages or schedules too) and/or has kid in youth hockey give a shout out!

josh Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 We’ve had a few informal practices/lessons. Practices start Tuesday (also the first day of school) and we have shit practice times as shit locations. A fun group of kids, which is good, because they aren’t going to be that great. one good thing is we have an out of state trip planned, which is a first for most of the kids. With Covid, there’s been little travel. We used to go to Canada at least once a season, even on bad teams, so it’s cool they actually get to “travel” this season, even if it is Cleveland 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuddyInTheMiddle Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 This year is the best team that I have ever coached(12U Major); we won a Spring tournament that we entered a couple months after evaluations. Have two more tournaments(one in Montreal), another showcase an overnight trip, and about 55 games between now and mid-March. Hoping that we can win the division in both leagues that we play in, and then retire so someone who actually knows what they are talking about can coach my kid at Bantams.

Dunny Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 We're not allowed to have tryouts next week, as they feel kids are too stressed with back to school. Hockey Canada has also banned Novice Rep, and we're not allowed to keep score for novice, anymore. I'm excited to see what changes come next year.

They don’t keep track of score in non-competitive/travel mites, so we have the same thing. And all regulated mite hockey is cross ice. Our tryouts are always in the spring. April/May, so you can do fundraising over the summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddious Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 I really don’t get the point of sports if you don’t keep score. I loved beating my friends when I was young. It’s what made me want to play. or is this more about the parents being go-hards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunny Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 I dunno, they're going to learn the game, anyways. This isn't some elite hockey cyborg school. It's a pretty big ask. 5 years of garbage until they play a real game. I'm on year 3 with my youngest. It's painful. We'll lose kids to unsanctioned leagues because of it. Mine included, if warranted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
