Leave colours alone

Looking at the minor hockey website and the board members their are two brothers on the board and that's the only relations I see. I have read all the letters to the editor and really don't understand what many of the complaints are a board is in place to make decisions for the betterment of an association and voted in by the public who votes for them the same as the prime minister, our counsel etc. Is everyone going to like their decisions no so does that mean we complain in the paper, at the coffee shops and degrade these board members who have made many decisions in the proper way for FFMH and even other associations with direct affiliation to hockey in our town "Hockey Town" as many people view it in past readings I have read. I think everyone knows Dave Egan does a solid job coaching, I think from what I understand the FFMH board does everything to make hockey better in this community and from my readings I see public input was asked I see and old pole that shows Canadians being voted for and the right steps to making this decision. Meetings by a committee with input wanted and taken in, all previous teams coaches asked and from what I gather no opposing the change. If Mr. Egan did oppose the change he must not of spoke loud enough. It does show his passion for why the colors he may like were chosen, but no where do I see him opposing the change to the board. To write allegations of the board being twisted because of relatives involved is low in my eyes. Unless maybe the person writing it does not like the brothers on the board. But seeing there names a hockey loving family would come to my mind so I am sure they are in it for the right reasons as all others on the board it's not hard to see why they would all be committed to sitting on it just like many past board members I know have went through and had to make these same decisions. Allegations of the kind that are being made towards this board without mentioning names are borderline slander. I don't see how jealousy plays a part, I don't see how making assumptions that one program is better than the rest is proper as I read and look into things FFMH house league teams very successful throughout the town and NWO, FFMH AA teams ery successful throughout N.A., Muskies tradition and excellence speaks for itself, Lakers relatively new but important to hockey in Fort Frances and I believe they just had a very successful season. I see the Lakers out in the community all the time helping young, old for the betterment of the community. I read how the other teams do things to help give back so to hear one team is better than the rest I don't see the relevance. All involved must be doing the right things to continue all success in each program. Why is there negativity FFMH should be feeding the Muskies through their AA system, Muskies should be feeding the Lakers, hockey is about the players not peoples egos or even thoughts a decision has been made no where do I see clones, a JV team, I see an identity one can relate to I see three different programs/associations with deserving praise not the bs that is being said in letters to the editor or on this webpage. I read people being upset from the Midget AA side and I am sure this is upsetting to the board but fact is a decision has been made they honored the Canadians name and they went forward with a color they saw best for Fort Frances be proud of that, the uniforms are great with the Canadian Flag on them. Doesn't everyone get mad when the prime minister and his cabinet make rulings in raising taxes, don't you get mad when town counsel raises taxes I don't see letters to the editor or carrying on like this we move forward and prepare for the change budget accordingly. We keep voting them in so we must feel some satisfaction from the jobs they are doing. Same here time to put your ego away and be proud of the privilege you will have if your fortunate to be a apart of the Fort Frances Canadian Teams because it is a privilege! Lastly, if you feel so strongly about the FFMH board why don't you step up next season and take their places sit in their chair and make the decisions....see how that goes and remember then you will be subject to the same ridicule your are presenting them with. People must not feel two strongly of the current board as most of them have been in there for 2+ years some over 10 and I heard 5 people showed up to vote this year at the AGM with one new board member stepping up, doesn't sound like any problems to me so put your allegations in your pocket and deal with the facts. To me they present a board moving and changing with the years I don't see any hidden agendas or wrong doings whether you believe it or not everything looks in order and accounted for and I did some digging to find this out. I would love to put my name but since no one else has to each his own. Know I support and love hockey in Fort Frances I missed the Canadians championship by a couple years but have seen many found memories of hockey in both rinks. It's sad and disheartening to me when I read this bs.
