So, all we have right now is an instance in 2006 where he made players ride the bus in their gear? Anything in the last 17 years since to corroborate the bad guy labeling?

Well obviously something new has happened or he wouldn't have been suspended.

Does coaching SJ count?

Today's athletes from 2006? Cuz that's when the incident referenced occurred. 

Yes. Them, as well.

Rather icky, but not as egregious as I expected.

I’d need context before reacting much either way.  That age group is mostly kids.  Teens, sure.  Still kids.

Riding 4hrs in sweaty unis isn’t the most egregious way of penalizing kids, but I’d like to hear the rationale given 1. Mostly kids and 2. Preseason game.

My first thought is, coach is trying too hard to assert dominance.  But I’m not sure I would call this specific incident abusive either.  Worthy of calling him a dick.  I’d need a pattern to fine/suspend unless there is a rule that he broke.

I’ll accept dickweed here.

I need more info.

How'd the team end up doing that year?

Obviously this team should immediately be dissolved and both Benson and Savoie should be assigned to the AHL.

Darren Dreger was on Sabres Live and spoke about this situation. 
 

He mentioned he was surprised that Constantine was hired in the first place based on his history. 
 

He also mentioned that the WHL has been strict with player suspensions and imagines Constantine’s punishment with be in line with this. 
 

I wonder if he keeps the job

Expected at 7pm today

Well that’s one less thing to worry about I guess.

Unless they call Babcock.
