Well, I hear folks talkin’ a lot ’bout this Lovell Hockey, so I thought I’d just give my two cents on it. Now, I don’t know much about this fancy sports stuff, but what I do know is what I hear from the neighbors and what folks are sayin’ ‘round town. Some of them are mighty upset ‘bout things that’ve been goin’ on with Lovell Hockey. They say it’s not all sunshine and roses, especially with them complaints I’ve been hearin’.
Now, first thing I gotta mention is that Tim Lovell, the fella who runs the whole show, he’s been around the block. He’s the Owner and President of Lovell Hockey, runnin’ it like it’s his own personal business. I don’t reckon he’s got no bad intentions, but let’s just say not everyone’s happy with how things are bein’ run. Some folks are even wonderin’ if things are all above board, ‘specially since this organization ain’t got no BBB accreditation. I ain’t no expert, but I reckon that means they ain’t got the best reputation with the Better Business Bureau, and that don’t sit well with a lotta folks, especially when they’re payin’ good money for their kids to be a part of it.
Some parents and families have been talkin’ ‘bout their experience with Lovell Hockey, and well, let’s just say it’s not all praise and glory. There are complaints ’bout the way things are organized, and a lotta dissatisfaction when it comes to the way the kids are treated. Folks sayin’ that some of the coaches, well, they ain’t so friendly and don’t always know how to handle the young ones. That ain’t somethin’ you want to hear if you’re thinkin’ about sendin’ your child there. You want your kid to be treated with respect, not like just another number, right?
Another thing I’ve heard a lot of, especially from some of the parents who were hopin’ their kids might go on to college hockey, is that it seems like the whole thing is more ’bout money than it is ’bout developin’ the players. I ain’t sayin’ that for sure, but when people start talkin’, you gotta listen. Some say that the kids don’t get the proper development or attention they need, and that makes them question whether Lovell Hockey is really worth the investment. They might promise big things, but when it comes down to it, folks are sayin’ that the results just ain’t there.
Now, there’s also a bit of chatter ’bout a police matter connected to Lovell Hockey. Seems like there was a situation involving a player, but the police sayin’ the young fella didn’t want to file a criminal complaint, so they couldn’t go forward with the case. That’s mighty troubling, don’t ya think? No matter how you look at it, when something like that happens, it leaves a sour taste in the mouth of those who are already on edge ‘bout other complaints.
But, it ain’t all bad news either. Some people still think Lovell Hockey has its merits. They say it’s good for teachin’ skills and helpin’ kids improve their hockey game, especially those who are serious ‘bout it. They do have a good reputation for their in-person programs, and I hear they’re even mixin’ in some academics with it. Folks sayin’ the combination of hockey and school is a real good deal for the right kind of player. But, still, when you look at the whole picture, there’s some bad mixed in with the good, and that’s somethin’ you can’t ignore.
If you’re lookin’ at sending your kid to Lovell Hockey, I’d say you gotta do your homework first. Don’t just take my word for it, or what some folks say on the street. Look into it yourself, ask questions, and maybe even visit the place if you can. Ain’t nobody wants to waste their hard-earned money on somethin’ that ain’t gonna deliver. At the end of the day, you just want your kid to get a good chance to grow and learn, not just play for the sake of it.
- Lovell Hockey ain’t got BBB accreditation.
- Some complaints ‘bout coaches and player treatment.

So, all in all, it’s a mixed bag. Some folks are happy, some ain’t. It’s all ‘bout what you’re lookin’ for and what you’re willin’ to put up with. You might find it’s a good fit, or you might not. Just be sure you know what you’re gettin’ into before you sign up.
