Rebooting myself
for those of you who follow Jr hockey know this is nothing unusual. Back in the 80's I played briefly on a JR B team who had a player who's father was the biggest supporter of the team and when the son was a healthy scratch the kids father went a bit nuts and pulled most of his support till the GM convinced the coach to play the kid in the top 6. I was a bottom 6 player (I sucked and I knew I sucked) and when the coach did that the kids father supported the team again. The kid went the uni route played a few years in Europe and then quit.
But atleast when I played--parents were involved in all levels of JR hockey from being coaches, trainers, owners and all points between. The worst I saw was when a player was the son of the guy who owned the lease on the arena in one small town and he played with the teams ability to use the arena for practice and games sometimes.
USually these things are settled behind closed doors and not in such a public way
