Maybe the way he left wasn't the best, I'm a little perplexed by the Forum's stance on what started this whole ordeal myself, and a little clarification would be nice. Canadian Forum really posed no threat, I'm no forum expert, but as I stated before, I never even gave this issue a second thought. The idea of a forum is to share info, IMHO, and if that means getting some good info from another source everyone could benefit. I'm confident that this forum is the best out there, and the Mods here should have that confidence as well, my bet is you would increase membership not loose members by allowing some networking of that nature.
In order to receive a Level 5 certification from USA Hockey I was required to attend a conference that had coaches represented at all levels. From youth hockey to NHL coaches, we had the opportunity to pick each others brains so that we could become better coaches. Many of us would battle each other in upcoming games in the next season but that was the furthest thing from our minds, we wanted to be the best we were capable of being and sharing info was how we chose to do it. It was incredible to listen to someone that was an NHL coach explain how they did something to teach a point in practice and then listen just a intently to how I did things at the youth level.
Whoever created this forum, ya done good and you shouldn't be afraid to let competition takes it's coarse. Instead of trying to ignore it by deleting posts that may leave you vulnerable, let it continue to challange yourself to be the best...Just my 2 cents not even sure what the whole story was, done rambling now.
