directed to the play its to the parents If Minor Hockey Week is to single out wo factions it would be The Players lei the la play and my thrust to The Parents would be the players cant play until parents come forward and help The players cant the practice and the sweaters and all the things that go into a hockey season has nothing to do with cheering or screaming or whatever Ihey want to do in the arena It supporting the players lo let them play think if there Is on thing that Minor Week brings out in Canada It It fint there area lot of people out there and if we alt pull together everyone fun and ill a community effort and learning experience The far as the hotkey go ihe say Minor Hotkey Hecks slogan for the layers Is laere message they may be trying In la isdr Barents or fans Tom Davidua This probably isnt answering your question directly The players have found over the years convey Ihelr feelings towards hockey by Ihelr attendance If players dont come to games regularly particularly practices if youre running good team youll get turnouts with no problem at all And if I find there is a questionable coach I make no bones about it coaches should look at their attendance first Players convey their feelings towards hockey by their attendance The problems that arise which we read about and hear about are problems that arent necessarily a problem to Ihe child Weve talked about this in the executive a I length Of hockey players at age Atom only one makes the professional level Now thai could be Ihe international league Dials not And so the money parents put into hockey theyd be compart lively better off putting thai money into lottery tickets If theyre looking for an income for their child The Herald Could yon an example to what you mean by parents causing unnecessary problems for Ihelr child la Tom Davidson Balancing Is a wonderful example parents may pull a kid out of hockey Because of balancing Now suppose a parent pulls a kid out of Bantam Say the kid has already played five or six years Now that each league is different hes been on different learn for the past live or six years If hes put on a different team four weeks into the season real grave consequences are you creating for the child And hes got to know be bulk of the kids I really believe our philosophy that says the kids play Winning Is important but Its not the be all and end all and were not the emphasis on how many games they win More importantly Is Ihe game compe titive and did they have fun So In way the parent writing to the paper and speaking out or protesting may be causing mere problems than the kids Tbe Herald Von were talking about certain of the community who bad to the minor hockey association and you would ask them In turn to see how Ihey could oat solving a problem Then they would come back to you and say they werent Interested Could you comment on Davidson Its a reflection of our society No one wants to get Involved Everyone wants lo complain because thats by far the easiest thing lo do In anything like hockey again we It on T V and probably we do get the Impression we know a lot and we seem to expect a lot As Ive said lo you Dave If not willing to do job yourself you cant expect anyone else to do It for you I wish people would really lake that to heart Its one of Ihe biggest biggest problems this year and 1 m sure it will always continue The
