Young player says its not right To the editor, My dad was reading the paper about the Acton Hockey League and how the Convener said that the league was not stacked and there were two good teams but she did not say that one of them was her husbands team and the other one was Dave Morriss team. Dave Morris is a good coach and gets his players to do well but the other stacked team just took the talent already made. I am an 11-year-old player whose team has won two games and lost too many, and I personally think that its not right to give her husband the best players and make the other coaches make do with what they have.
