University of Jamestown

"This coach ruined my son's hockey resume for a year and wasted my money. He's an insecure coach who surrounds himself with junior assistants with no coaching experience and little playing experience (yes men) and he doesn't give much feedback on what he wants except goon and grind. Doesn't like any constructive criticism, in fact, he will punish those who give it or question him. Picks his favorites and then writes off the rest. He had such a negative impact on my son that my son's academic learning suffered because he just hated being there. My son puts everything into his hockey and he got absolutely nothing back this season. Not even respect. I suspect that we were conned into joining just to make up numbers. We find out after we joined the team that this coach has a poor reputation but it's not visible online so, I'm making it visible for others to avoid, as I wish I had. There were many other players in the team who felt the same. Some may think that he's a great coach. I don't. "

"My experience with Coach Hale has been nothing but good. He is knowledgeable about the game and pushes us to be the best we can be on the course. However, I think he does a fantastic job about putting our academics first. He also is someone who everyone on the team is able to talk to him and build relationships. "

"Knows the game just didn’t seem to care about us at people as well, other than tools "
