Hockey Prompt

Thought I'd share an IRL example of someone who I had to deal with who was a pest during my time in Junior.  Our team had a General Manager / Head Coach who thought he was the be all and end all.  He was not good with managing relationships with players, and as Captain, I was often left annoyed, frustrated, and in an awkward spot by the actions and decisions he had taken.

Case and point, I had arranged with him and let him know that I would be arriving very close to the start of game time (plenty of time for me to get ready for the game but after the typical "early arrival" of the players).  This was so that I could spend a little extra time with my Father on his 50th birthday.  When I arrived to the rink that day, I walk into the dressing room and literally every player looks up at me and doesnt say a word.  I look over an see two teammates frantically trying to dry off my gear.  After asking what was going on, my teammates let me know that my coach/gm thought I deserved a punishment of my gear being thrown into the shower for arriving late, to show me that it was unacceptable that I would do that.

Safe to say I was happy to see him go a couple months later.  Seems like he burned a few bridges that season.
Best part for me, had my best game of the season that night, was a nice 5 point game for me.
Sometimes the pests you have to deal with were supposed to be on your side.
