Stupid is as stupid does eh kids? Well what do you get when you put an inexperienced former Tier III player less than a year removed from his limited and basically suitcased hockey career?
You get a washed up goon, with more penalty minutes than games played doing your recruiting. Sweet eh kids? Hell yeah, party on dude.
Meet Chad Olson, Assistant Coach for Lake Tahoe Blue in the WSHL.
Guess some colleges didn’t want all that great experience on their roster eh? So hey, why not make the kid an assistant coach since he played a total of three games for us last year. Good idea boys.
Better yet, lets have him call players and offer to pay for their flight to Lake Tahoe to play for the team! Bang up job there boys.
If that wasn’t good enough, lets have him call players that are already on a team who have signed contracts, made payments and are already financially obligated. Yep, you just got to love the stupidity of a 21 year old kid placed in a position of authority.
Then again you have to love the stupidity of the guy that hired him for the position even more. Ha Ha Ha
In case you didn’t know, its an NCAA violation to offer or to accept an improper financial benefit such as a scholarship or plane tickets based upon your athletic ability. Its also a violation for a team to offer financial inducements such as scholarships and plane tickets to an amateur athlete.
But hey, who needs rules right boys? Its all about winning isn’t it? Win at all costs, rules be damned. Contracts and commitments be damned right? Who cares if their on another team, that aint dirty is it?
Starting out with a 1 and 2 record must have really hurt someone eh? Yeah, Tier III hockey needs more guys like this boys and girls. Yep, nothing like making sure your organization is filled with good people and operating with good intentions. I wonder if they earn frequent flyer miles buying tickets for other people?
Good luck recruiting there genius!
