Re: Adrian College Gripefest
There is more to college hockey then hockey. Most of these girls picked the school because of what it offered them in terms of education. The fact that they could play on a team that was good was a bonus. Most of the girls that stayed tried to resolve the problem. They were also given assurance from the admin that things would be better. Instead it just stayed the same and even got worse in some cases. By the time it was clear that it was not going to get better some where upper classmen. And yes many transfered but whats more telling is the ones that stayed but opted not to play(like most schools Adrian offers some unique expiences). Of these girls that did not come back most were major contributors. These were not fouth and fifth line players that wrote,talked and tried to make this work it was most of the team. As far as posting the letter goes has anyone considered this maybe it will be helpful now. There is nothing on that list that can not be fixed and maybe this is the wake up call that a young coach can run with. If nothing else as far as the team goes maybe it will keep all parties honest and talking from now on.
I think reading comprehension is the least of their worries right now. They're so rattled right now they don't know who to argue with.
It seemed to me like you were giving Kempson a compliment. But hey, what do I know. The Adrian people know everything about their team.
Kempson was good for the most part during their last game, until she started taking pims. I thought she was the only real threat on the ice, but thats only my opinion.
I'm sure dogwatcher will correct me on this, because it doesn't coincide with his stat pad from the stands. Let me guess, you were the guy with the stop watch timing the shifts or were you the guy keeping the plus/minus.
They are going at 54F now too on the other thread because he misquoted something. Maybe they should re-read his posts. Hey girls, he seemed to be on your side.
Now that I think about it, re-take that reading class in the fall. Instead of trying to figure out your breakout during class you should really pay attention in class. I have a feeling you're going to need that education.
Honestly, I hope you guys find a better coach, someone that you're happy with and finish out your remaining playing days the right way.
See you guys in January when you come back to Rochester. Hopefully by then things have turned around for you all.
Good luck.
Why didn't you guys transfer if it was so bad?
