GTHL investigating improper sales of teams

[OHL4Life]

Certainly not, I'm just not of the belief corruption, dirty politics, and super teams benefit minor hockey and player dev. I'm still open to points to the contrary!

ok, what would be your definition of corruption and super teams? im just trying to understand how you see them connected is all.

if you're asking me for a definition of corruption in minor hockey, in a thread about corruption in minor hockey, you might be the wrong guy to discuss the subject with. it's got major Fischy vibes tbh!

im asking for your version of it, everyone views it differently. are you talking about the selling of organizations, or are you talking about super teams? they are all different topics.

corruption is a very general term, im asking for a specific viewpoint of what you think corruption is and how it impacts aaa hockey.

I'm not sure corruption is even the right word.
Teams are finding way to skirt rules or take advantage of grey areas in some of the cases I've seen.
I try and stay as far away from anything minor hockey as I possibly can but the stories I hear are absolutely incredibly concerning as to what lengths parents with money will go to.
I'm not even sure what's true and what is fake news anymore but there are quite a few stories about teams being sold to someone with money in exchange for decision making input.
Imagine being the coach on one of these teams that has to do what the son of the construction company's Dad tells him to do? lol. -Why would you even stick around? -The only answer I can come up with is they are being compensated above other staff.

that for sure happens, but i struggle with the fact that its always a bad things.

ill use the titans this year. a parent is sponsoring the team, but in exchange no one is paying fees, they have free clothes, the coaches have ipads on the bench for teaching. a few low income kids get to play aaa for free. the parent who is sponsoring it's kid is a top 40 kid and may make the usntdp.

so is that bad?

the huron perth lakers have a ton of kids from outside their area, are they evil?

we look at everything black and white, but it never is.
