How about when the town Daddy's think it's a good idea to split PAL into A teams and B teams! Shouldn't there be a tryout? If there was a tryout, then no one should be put out. No tears. It is what it is.
Or, does Daddy get to say everyone that is on an A travel club (ie. igloo / EXP Haugen) is an A player--everyone else should go get their "shine box"? Why do some of these people act this way? It is bad for the town. It is bad for the program. And, it discourages kids to play. Kids improve every year. I get politics.
BTW, I know some kids in my town that committed D1 soph yr in HS, yet never "made" the PAL A team. RIDICULOUS!
