I know OHL4life seems to think he has a good take on goalie dads...he's obviously never seen a goalie mom!! They're nuts!!!! LOL
I think it's a fairly broad brush to paint goalie dads as being high strung. Like he said, in his "limited experience".
Have you seen FWD parents?? Now that is an absolutely riot to watch and I don't have limited experience being a witness to that. Coaches love the emails they receive from them after every game! LOL
If your home center doesn't have a U16 AAA, I would have done the same as Ingram from the Soo. Not sure I would have moved to the G if I were him....but I would have likely gone to a region with U16 AAA. By the way, Ingram didn't have as noticeable season as I thought he would have had in JRC. Perhaps playing away from home in the G did this...or being considered 2nd to Camputaro all the ttime affected his confidence. But...I really liked Ingram's game last year and noticed he seemed off this season. I still really like his game and would absolutely consider him a good draft.
I can only go by the experience I’ve had in my home association and with the goalie dads we’ve had with my scouting. Career. even on here, who has popped on and dominated the discussion, not fans of ohl teams, goalie dads. I’m not saying it’s a golden rule, I’m just saying what my experience is, others could have different experiences.
you think it’s a bit insulting to goalie dads to generalize, fine, but it’s fairly insulting to scouts across Ontario to suggest we’re too lazy to see poor teams and we’re onto hypnotized by top teams.
the toronto Nats are a bad team in toronto but they have an underage goalie that’s been amazing for them this year. I guess that I’m not supposed to know that because we do t scout bad teams and no goalies on bad teams are good, but here we are. im being very hyperbolic but i hope the point sticks.
