PLAYERS: When your coach doesn't play you, they aren't disrespecting you or hating on you. They are respecting your teammates and loving the team. Good coaches play the players that make up the best team and that are the most trusted team members. Become that kind of teammate.

@rwesthead Players have right 2 wait for scholarships or play in other JR leagues in NA. I’m not saying all players R treated with the respect they deserve but just make CHL wide rules rule 2 B enforced or GM is let go. Many more steps B4 eliminating draft. Publish rules 4 awareness

Former WHL players Isaiah DiLaura and Tanner Gould are part of a lawsuit seeking to end the annual player drafts in major-junior hockey and give players the right to choose where they play. The lawsuit says CHL teams “are presented to drafted players on a ‘take it or leave it’ basis – unless the player ‘takes it,’ he is forever foreclosed from playing major junior hockey, for any club in any of the three independent major junior leagues.” CHL players, the lawsuit says, don't have “freedom to extricate themselves from a bad situation.” Both DiLaura and Gould wrote in affidavits that while they played in the WHL far away from their family homes, their teams pressured them not to focus on school. DiLaura: “On game days, the team generally preferred that we go home and rest rather than attend classes.” Gould: “Tri City had a strict rule that we were not allowed to do schoolwork on game days. This was a directive from the coach and even our billet families were instructed not to encourage school on home game days.”

The death of Joe Gowers, a former trainer for the @LondonNationals and the @stmlincolns, in a motorcycle crash Friday in London has shocked the local hockey community, @JenatLFPress reports tinyurl.com/mpbru86b

Joe was one of the most unselfish “teammates” any young junior hockey player could be lucky enough to work with. He was a ruthless competitor with a huge heart to help others. I will GREATLY miss him 💔
