Burlington Lions Optimist

Great group of people at the office as well as the army of volunteers on the ice.

I'd have to say that I'm glad that I have moved on from Blomha with my son. The past two years have been terrible. I'll never understand how Rick Dawson gets away with being unprofessional and rude when speaking to the parents who have a question or two. The stories I've heard from multiple families would be enough to replace Rick Dawson in my eyes. Most, if not all, are fearful of repercussions if they were to stand up and say something. The parents are the ones spending thousands of dollars after all to have their child play in the organization. It was good to hear that Blomha lost their Rep status. I saw that as somewhat of a slap in the face to Dawson, and Blomha organization. The volunteers were, and are under appreciated big time! I'm glad to see it was passed on to the Cougars. Now it will be handled by an organization who can treat the parents, and coaches with respect and put things more on a level playing field when it comes to communication. Not like it's a dictatorship. The Blomha office staff is uninformative when it comes to the simplest inquiries and it all trickles down from the leadership. Pronger was brought in to attempt to put a new spin on things but it needs much much more. This year coming start by removing the main problem...Dawson.

Great hockey teams would recommend for beginners

It is highly concerning with how this organization treats their volunteers and coaches. They have a hostile approach in their response and feel justified in their actions. I really wish Hockey Alliance would clean up this organization, for the sake of the kids and families who give their time, money and energy - all for the love of hockey.

Great coaches.

I have so many friends in this league but the way that they pick teams is beyond stupid.
