High School Goalie Quits Team in Most Dramatic Way: Scores on His Own Team, Flips Off Coaches, Then Leaves



There are epic ways to quit your job. Then there are epic ways to quit a team. Austin Krause just showed the world one way to do the latter.

Krause is (or was) a senior goalie at Farmington High School in Minnesota. It was senior night on Tuesday, and Krause got the start — a rarer occurence this season. And that was part of the problem: Krause had been losing playing time this season to a sophomore he’s not too fond of.

We’ll let him tell you in his own words what he decided to do to make his point (courtesy of the Farmington Independent):

“They played this sophomore goalie for the starter, he was terrible, I would try and talk to the coaches about this and tell them I want playing time but they never really listen to me or gave me a chance to show them that I’m a better goalie but still wouldn’t trust me so I had it it with I asked a few of my players if they care if I did it and they didn’t care they thought it would be funny so at the third period they dumped it in I stopped it put in my net started to skate off then flicked the coaches not the team the coaches then I saluted them then got off.”

everyone gets a trophy .... it is not about winning

He should have pulled a SlapShot and took all his equipment off and skated around the rink in just his jock strap

They don't give scholarships to high school bench warmers.

If he wasn't playing, I doubt he's getting a scholarship.

He sure as hell isn't getting one now

Legend in his own mind? I don't think a HS coach would play an inferior player for the "trophy for everyone mentality".

Hockey coaches do have their favorites and will bench whomever they choose to for a myriad of reasons or no reason at all. I've seen better goalies sit while their team gets spanked.

sounds like a spoiled brat to me.

If he had nothing to lose, good for him.
