"Sinclair is lost. Middlebury replacing Beaney with this fool signaled that the WOKE school administration wanted to bring the once proud program down 10 notches. He is truly a terrible coach. Teams are no longer competitive. He has never ever built or developed a team. I would be conerned if he was the coach of a mite team. he is that bad. He is just what the administration wanted. A guy with a nice pair of kahkis and a blue sportjacke that will not rock the boat. He should have been fired years ago .... The program will continue to spiral downward with him around ... but .., if that was the plan - it is working great. It is a shame this guy was handed the keys to a once great program. Sad. He is horrible - (first hand experience)!!!"
"Awful coach, can’t relate to players at all and doesn’t communicate well. It’s a shame that such a prestigious program like Midd was willing to take on someone like this to lead their program. Look at the stats and talk to recent alumni; you’d be hard pressed to find anyone that has anything positive to say about this guy. "
"Terrible hockey joke. Doesn’t know how to run a high end program, let alone any program in general. Stats speak for themselves, he’s never won his entire coaching career. Shouldn’t be coaching college hockey, embarrassing he still has a job. No parent should trust him with their kid and no kid should want to battle under him. Avoid at all costs. "
"I would absolutely avoid playing for Neil Sinclair at all costs. The worst coach I have ever played for. Embarrassing that he is still coaching at Middlebury, let alone in college hockey. Even more embarrassing he got a contract extension. Tells you a lot about Middlebury. His record at Middlebury is appalling. Made me hate the sport, never want to play it again because of him. He’s a hypocrite and two-faced. Doesn’t actually care about his players. If I am a player or parent and Middlebury is interested, I’d tell them no thank you and move on. Absolutely joke of a program ran by a joke of a head coach."
"I would avoid him at all costs. More kids have quit under this coach than graduated as college hockey players. Preaches accountability but has none himself. He made me hate hockey. "
"Laughable that this guy is still a coach. Terrible communication and is the furthest from being accountable. You never know where you stand with this guy and he loves to blame his losing seasons on guys that don't play. It would be one thing if he was knowledgeable about the game, but he had some of the worst hockey IQ in college hockey; I wouldn't want him coaching a high school team. Even the more recent Middlebury grads agreed and were livid he got the job. "
"This guy is not a coach, he is a moron. Do not play for this idiot. How he got this job is beyond comprehension. it is an absolute disgrace that this man remains behind the bench. The student athletes, the community and the student body deserve better. "
"After his first year at Middlebury College, Coach Sinclair did a fabulous job of getting to know his players and making the best use to lead the team to the conference semi finals. Very easy to walk into his office and talk about hockey, academics, or about anything."
