KERR TEAM FIXING AT OHS SUMMER CAMP?

A parent shares.......

"I could fill this entire blog with stories of unfairness and self serving behavior by OHA. How about sending your son to play at the IDT and they put him on a line with 2 other marginal players rather than playing with some better players so one of the "Kerr" boys can win the tournament scoring title. What a surprise with another Kerr behind the bench setting the lines. In spite of being behind the 8 ball my son all the way down to the championship game was within a point or 2 of winning it. He never had a chance. What a bunch of rats those guys are for not letting the boys play on a level playing field. Some example they set. We've seen it all with these clowns and got out. You'd have to be out of your mind to send your player up there for so many reasons. I hit em where it really hurt - the pocketbook."

Child Safety At OHS

Is it safe to board your hockey player at OHS in the classroom dorms? The drinking age in British Columbia is 19. Many of the counselors are just reaching legal age and have been known to slip out to the bars leaving your children unattended in the dorms.

Last year the counselors were in the bars in downtown Penticton when a fight broke out. This fight was brought back to a child dorm where windows were smashed in and people ended up in the hospital. Fortunately, none of the campers were injured. A number of RCMP officers broke up the fight and hockey classes resumed the following morning.

This was not an isolated episode. Similar issues occur every year at OHS camps and parents should consider carefully whether to board their young players at OHS during hockey camps.
