Oh 100%..I never had any rose colored glasses w my son and hockey. I always encouraged him to just have fun and make friends.

It just stings for us, on our son's behalf, that he appears to have been singled out, despite my thoughts that at least 1 or 2 of the other kids on his previous team probably shouldn't have made it either.

But as noted above, all the kids who made it mostly, all are in the same class/school as the head coaches son. Mine goes to a different school. Definitely some favoritism.

I just needed to write it out and get some thoughts, as I have no one to talk to, besides my wife, about this. It was cathartic...
