I don't think anybody should have a problem with Howse deciding that professional hockey's not for him. but from the article in the Herald, it sounded kind of like all he did was tell Conroy he wasn't sure about coming to rookie camp, then after that more or less completely stopped responding to the club's attempts to contact him. at the very least he should have got on the plane that Feaster booked and explained what he wanted to do in person, it's the smallest courtesy for the organization that put its resources into your development.
it's kind of like how anybody can quit their job, nothing wrong with that, but what if you decided to quit by suddenly just not showing up to the office, and not returning your manager's phone calls? hopefully he can figure out what he wants to do instead, but the maturity level has got to improve if he wants to succeed anywhere, not just in hockey.
