Unless your kid did something stupid diciplline wise, was injured, or is a danger to himself or others when he steps on the ice, there's no way he should be benched.

Especially in community hockey.

It goes back to what I've said in the coaching thread, there are way too many coaches out there that take these sports way too seriously, and that somehow wins and losses at a youth level matter.

I would hope that you ask the coach some questions about benching your kid, and if its anything but the above reasons that you let him have it in the nicest way possible.
