Minor hockey tryouts (was: How to motivate a novice (or any) player for tryouts?)

Because everyone is an expert on everything: epidemics, inflation, wildfires. The phrase "critical thinking" now means "I have an opinion and I should criticize the guy doing the thing." I suppose this board would be quieter if people only spoke up about things they had actual knowledge about, but people really need to shut up and let the guy they asked to do the thing actually do the thing they asked him to do.

Everyone believes they are entitled to what they want and want right now.

This will be my last year coaching EVER. I'm so done with parents....every single year since U7 hockey, the same parents cause the same drama over entitlement. My oldest son will give AAA a try next year, if he doesn't make it, he will enjoy high school hockey and move on with life after high school. Hockey Canada has dropped the ball with all its woke ideology and its showing more every single year.
