I viewed Ward as the polar opposite actually. He seemed as interested in how the prospects were developing as people just as much as they were developing as players, and did a lot of extra stuff outside the rink. He was a player's coach through and through, and always seemed to take time out of his own life to help a prospect it seemed.
I guess we will not really know what happened for sure unless Howse and other prospects decide to air their experiences - good and/or bad.
