As a coach in the BWMHîA for 10 years, I feel I can answer roUr question, "What is happening to minor hockey in Whitby?" Since I have been coaching I have seen nothing but improvernents in this league. I have seen inembers of the executive go to extrernes to help children who have had personal family probleins. I have seen conveners spend six hours on a Saturday and again on Sunday, keeping stats, filling out gaine sheets, rearrangin sceor sand oue angthx say ,I 9 nt fun anymore." Did you ask your children this question, or are you speaking for thein? I the years that I have been coaching, I very rarely saw a boy leave the dressming -robin witliout a s*nile on his face, win orl!ose. Ilam also sure that your children couldn't care less how niuch you paid for admission. Paying the $1 admission has no effect on how much fun the boys- have playing hockey. However, if you want to know what does affect themn, sit in the stands somnetirne and listen to the verbal abuse. Many tiînes I have seen a boy corne to the bench and look to the stands looking for the nod of approvernent froin moin or dad, only to be disappointed. rPve heard remarks like "Cet that hacker off the ice" and "Johnny, don't be so stupid." These remarks were being made to peewee-aged boys who are easily irnpressed upon. So before you parents put down the members of the BWMIHA who To thi.ed&tor.
