Coaching is about being a mentor, a positive influence on a kid's life, and a role model. Coaches who adhere to an old-school mentality, however, have not yet been swept out of hockey culture.
For example, a Russian minor league hockey coach struck one of his players with a stick repeatedly, not just once.
Hopefully this guy isn't coaching for long. Geesh.
It appears that this particular coach abuses his power over his players on a regular basis.
Maybe the Russian Hockey organization can look into it and sanction him if this is how you coach. According to reports, he has even attacked referees before.
