Switching Organizations

[Guest]

Just curious to know if any families are switching organizations.  If so, why are you leaving the club you have been with or what drew you to the new club?

Keep the comments civil and don't demean the club or it's management, regardless of the situation.

Most parents are chasing wins and trying to disguise it as "doing what's best for their kid"

Maybe the kid wants to play on a better team? Not always about parents

We are leaving a smaller club for a larger one. Hoping that the difference in skill level between players on my child’s team will be smaller.

We are also leaving a smaller club for a larger one in hopes that the evals will be a bit more about hockey and a bit less about nepotism... A girl can dream, right?

I had contemplated switching orgs this year because I don’t think my kid is going to be placed appropriately.  Small org with not enough kids to fill a team at each level.  In the end my son wants to play with his friends.  The problem is if he doesn’t play at a level that is likely higher than he’s capable, he’s not going to be with them anyway.  He’ll be placed on a team that will be below his capabilities and while he might do well personally, I don’t anticipate a strong season for the team overall.

We are switching clubs this year, from a small to a large, so that my son has more team level choices and therefore a greater chance of learning and improving his hockey skills next season.  Switching clubs is a sacrifice for me since we go from a 7 minute drive to an hour plus and I will miss the families we have been playing with for the past two years.

We are leaving our organization because the board members of our organization are tied to the AA teams 2 of those teams are at my sons age range. One of those teams played 70 games this year while my sons team didn’t even get the minimum home games. The board promised we would get what we were owed. Season ended and we still haven’t been compensated for the money owed. We have recently been offered clinics or a discount for next season like families are dumb enough to return
