That’s right.  In 2017 Schwartz was named a goaltender consultant to the Western Hockey League, the junior league based in Western Canada and the Western Canadian arm of the CHL.

He’s also been put in charge of the WHL’s goaltending committee, which is composed of goaltending coaches from the hockey associations of all the western Canadian provinces as well as the goaltending coaches from all the WHL teams.

If he’s as incompetent as the conspiracy theorists say he is, why would they hire him in a position of authority to ruin the kids coming up in the junior leagues?

Doesn’t make sense to me, if that makes sense to you then please by all means explain it to me.
