Hello inferno forum!
Thought Id say hello and put a quick intro for my first post!!!
Im John...... I have 2 kids playing in the U10's at the moment, and I am the other guy working with Paul to manage the U10's for this season.
Just thought I would make a post to hopefully settle any thoughts as well as add a bit of info from my perspective!!!
Firstly..... let me say that Ive never met more of a commited bunch of people than all the guys and girls doing their very best that they can to keep the Cardiff Juniors running..... please all remember that the committee, trustees and all other volunteers are just that.... volunteers that are mainly parents with kids in one of the junior teams all doing what they can to make and keep the fabulous sport of Ice Hockey accessible for all our kids!
There will always be speculation, chinese whispers, rumors, thoughts of hidden agendas with anything and everything..... unfortunately these kind of things always end up being a negative influence against something that should be a fun and happy place for all our kids to be involved with.
Like I say, I have picked up the reigns of the U10's manager with Paul in support, with a previous poster hitting the nail on the head. Many people were asked if they would like to be U10's manager and as nobody was able to take on the comitment, I offered help, but I myself work all over the country and I said to the guys in the DCF commitee that I couldnt comit to being at the rink all the time, which is where Paul kindly offered to help out in the event that I was not available. Like me, Paul has kids going through the Junior teams who are doing fantastically well, so Im sure he is indeed doing nothing more than I have done.... offered services to help not only our own kids do the sport they love, but help to run the sections to make the junior teams as successful as possible.
I'm really not hoping to spark any negativity with my post, just hopefully pointing out that there are vary many people giving up their own time to make the Junior Ice hockey as safe and as fun/exciting place to be for all the junior players, and Im sure Im not out of order saying that we could really do with all the current fans and indeed people who have also offered a fantastic amount of support to the DCF over the years to offer your support as much as you can..... not for the adults involved in trying to do the tight thing, but for the kids, and to ensure they have a continued place to play the sport they love.
Im more than happy to have a chat with anyone on anything to do with the Juniors, but please guys, lets keep it all positive!!!!
Thanks for reading all......
by the way..... cant wait for the new Devils season to kick off! Me and the kids will be there cheering them on!!!!
