Please add more information to this story as to why this took so long and what it took to get this man back behind the bench. It would be nice to talk about the revolt from the players on this team who stood up and were counted when this team was taken away from this fine coach.

Some people in the Queen's organization should be embaressed over how they handled this and the other person involved should do hockey a favour and stay away for a while.

Lavoie showed incredible class by never publicly saying anything against the ridiculous events that took place that initially led the team being given to someone else.

totally agree with timeforchange. Dennis and Danny are a class act and deserved the team. Another selection will be announced for Bantam A. I am personally disgusted with the selection process and the selection. The whole organization is going down the drain taking with it the dreams of some girls trying to get a scholarship. Unfortunately, haters and politics seems to be the rule of thumb.
