Re; Hockey team dismembered.

Dear Mrs. Meyer;

Please understand the agony endured by the league officials
in this situation--the closed door meetings, the stress,
the implications on their own administrative future and of course, the effect on the kids.  I'm sure many, many nights
were spent agonizing over this decision.
However, in the end, the blame truly rests with the player's parents ! It would have been much more difficult to give each player a couple bottles of spray paint and send him downtown instead of attending hockey practice.... better still, give each of them $50 and tell them to get their hair dyed fluorescent red or lime green...and get a few rings put in their nose at the same time.
Even at the age of nine, there is a penalty for diligence,
hard work and strict morals.
Finally, understand that all league officials do not have
intelligence and forethought in their 'jeans'.
