He was there watching his American grandchildren play and was asked by the Ottawa Citizen if he'd ever volunteer to coach a minor hockey team.
His answer?
"Not after sitting with the parents this week. You can see it in the stands that there can be animosity with parents over ice time for their kids," Ley said ....
"At that age, you can't over-coach as well because you paralyse them with over-analysis. They have to have fun and that's the only way they'll learn.
"It's just as hard to coach kids as (it is) professionals."
Ley also said body contact should be banned for peewees. The Bell tournament did just that in all except the elite AAA division.
