Inglis is a Red Deer Rebel and is playing tonight for them.
Great deal for Red Deer! When are the coaches and GMs of the WHL world going to get their heads out of the asses and realize that they can't treat players like cattle. There are lots of options for the players today, the WHL is a prestigious place to play, but not the only place. Excepting Don Hay, how many other old school coaches are having success out there?
There are still players out there who think that they are the only one that needs to be kept happy. Not saying Inglis was that way, but I did look at his Twitter feed last night, and it had a few things that might make you go hmmm.....
I hope for his sake he has a good fresh start in Red Deer. If not, he's most likely done in this league....if not hockey in general.
Inglis is a good hockey player but his off ice issues,curfew breaches,inability to get along with teammates and a general lack of regard to rules is why he has been run out of Saskatoon and now PG,its also the reason why he has not been picked in the NHL draft.
Your entitled to your opinion. However you make him sound like an aweful person, and that's simply not true. He's a 19 year old kid. He's allowed a few mistakes, and believe me, he's learning from them. He's got a huge heart and he's great with people. He has many many people in his life that he has the abilty to get along with.
Why is it that people focus on the negative and NEVER mention the positive?
Why don't people mention any of the community work he was envolved in?
Why don't people mention the hospital visits to sick people for 2 weeks straight that he made?
Surely if breaking curfew is worth mentioning this must be worth some air time too!
Is it because they don't know the whole story?
It's a new year, let the kid play, and maybe this will be the fit that suits him. He's got the talent. I believe the entire coaching staff is ex-Rebels players. That might be a good environment for him to learn what team loyalty is.
Plus he will give them a viable scoring threat next year as well.
