At the moment, I'm not sure what I'm going to do about the hockey team. I'm looking seriously at the options and will make an announcement to the remaining players (who the defectors did not say a word to about this team) after our last game of the season next Sunday. What those guys have done is something that will most certianly leave a scar on me, hopefully on their conscience as well (though I doubt it). The easy way out is to say that their goals (winning, never mind that they don't score) are different than the rest of the team's (to have fun and improve our skills while we're at it) and that difference is irreconcilable, which of course it is. I have to remember that these guys are young, think they have the answer in their hand and clearly, were not looking for the kind of team I put together.

The hardest part is knowing that so many of them lied to me or evaded the answer, fearing my reaction. Just because you can't predict what I'll do doesn't mean I don't deserve a straight answer. Please remember that the next time you decided to screw someone over, especially someone who you'll continue to see. We all deserve at least that.
