Wow Axel. Someone is sure an A$$hole up there. THESE ARE 9 and 10 year olds. Playing elite "A" teams shouldn't even come into play until they are nearing Bantam age in my opinion.

It is coaches like this that Hockey Canada and Hockey Alberta are not happy about. Enrolment in minor hockey is down as kids get older because they are not given the opportunity to play and then drop out.

I do not know how you will play it but I would lodge a complaint with Hockey Alberta. Nobody should be treated as an elite player at age 10. The nutrition comment is completely crap. This guy should be told he is not the next Scottie Bowman and his kid is not the next Patrick Roy.

At 10 years old it is still a game to enjoy and shouldn't be about winning tournaments.
