Havre Ice Hawks High School Hockey Team

I have something to talk about and this first paragraph or so is more for clarification then anything, some people get confused sometimes. I might have mentioned before that for nine years before I went to college I played hockey for the Havre Ice Hawks High School Hockey Team. It was a co-ed team where there was only me and one or two other girls on a team full of boys. The way it worked was was there was a group of boys who were one year older then me who I started playing with and then played with every other year til I was in high school. Then there was a group of boys, who were younger then me, who i played with every year I didn't play with the older boys, once again until high school. Then there was a group of boys who were my age that I played with every year.

Last year, my senior year in high school my team got a new coach because our old coach was the father of one of the older boys who graduated so he didn't want to coach us anymore. So we got a new coach and much younger coach, he was 21 compared to our 15-18 year-old players. Needless to say we had some issues with the whole coach respect thing because he was so close to our that we only have to took him seriously. I myself thought he was drop dead sexy so it was hard to take him seriously as a coach.

Because of our team wide lack of respect for our coach it, we didn't listen. Not to mention the boys on my team have egos the size of Jupiter with little to none to back it up with, we don't have anyone who is the next Sidney Crosby or anything, we had our decent players but attitudes got in the way from us being a decent team. Needless to say, we didn't do very well, we beat the teams who sucked super hard but we could never manage to beat the teams who were even at level with us, we ended up in fifth place, which isn't bad but really its because at state we scored more against a really shit team when the sixth place team couldn't score as much against a better team. But its whatever now, at least for me.

I'm back home for Christmas break this year only to find that a bunch of players from last year have quit playing because the same coach was chosen again to coach the team this year. What really makes me upset about this is, the coach isn't the one playing the game boys, the players are. The coach can only do so much before it is up to the players to man up and do something about the scoreboard. I hate that the boys are blaming the coach for their losses, just because they aren't used to his coaching style because he likes to do things a little differently. To an extent i think it has something to do is that he takes it a little bit more seriously then what they were used to before.

This coach likes to bring in his experience playing with a Juniors team, which is probably a good idea, i enjoyed the things we did last year, it actually kind of help me get into the team a little bit more after spending at years of group of boys hating my life. But it was different so they rejected it.

I mostly needed to get this off my chest because I need people to know how stupid they are being, how stupid this entire situation is. I have been pissed at these guys for most of my life so it really isn't anything new, but for them to quit a sport they said they loved because they lost, its pathetic and disappointing. Like even though they were dickweeds, i thought maybe they had a little bit more self-respect and dignity then this.
Oh, also if you think I have just defending the coach because I am basically in love with him, you are definitely mistaken. This coach could be but ass ugly and I would still be appalled by the way my former teammates are acting. Because I know a lot of them are dicks, but I hoped maybe they would be better people then that, i guess I was wrong.
