Final words on coaching suspension until a status change. There is a bit of humor in all this. I go tilting at windmills, looking to get the establishment to budge in my search for supplemental discipline. There's a lot of Hammurabi's code when it comes to the history of hockey discipline...eye for an eye sort of thing. Tom gets whacked illegally leading to 5 games lost due to concussion. Seemed like a reasonable starting point. In a comical twist, I got the suspension all right, my own. Remind me not to do my own negotiating.
Bergen Record reporter found the development interesting. NJYHL and Youth Devils might consider suspending their P.R. folks in addition to moi.
Tom is quite motivated. Has had two practices, and happily went public skating twice this weekend in anticipation of his first game back. Had a conflict with the Devils, so he played for his school. Was one of eight skaters for Mountain Lakes, converted a goal mouth scramble in the third, and emerged with a GWG. Shared the experience in the stands with son Ted, ex wife and her boyfriend. Kinfolk Karma. Next stop, thanksgiving in DC with Junior Devils and Grandfolks and second cousins. Taking Amtrak down, old school. We'll hustle home and catch the middle school game if we're lucky.
Spoke to Randolph HS coach, a former def partner. Spoke about how lucrative coaching is. Pity I got tangled in this controversy, not exactly good news for prospective employers. All part of the journey, we'll see how it turns out. If the priority is what's best for Tom, things are still pretty OK. Psyched for DC...should be a gas.
