I have a few comments:

1. David Frost should be BANNED from any contact with young boys/men. Why isn't the NHL doing anything??? NO investigation, N-O-T-H-I-N-G!!!!!!!! It makes me, literally, physically ill.

2. I truly wish that there will be a "Sheldon Kennedy" among the players/victims/survivors of David Frost, who will come forward and tell his truth so that David Frost can be aptly dealt with. All we need is one to come forward and others will follow.

3. To any hockey player; past, present or future, who has been a victim of David Frost or any other coach, it ISN'T your fault and you CAN survive and thrive from your situation. Tell someone, do something and don't let some scum of the earth, sicko, take your life from you.

I am living proof that you can survive molestation. By anyone...

May David Frost be hounded until his demise and experience the wrath of hell.

How sad that a child molester/rapist was allowed to be amongst children for as long as Frost has. Why didn't the people who initially had a complaint investigated follow through and have him removed to protect other children. How much do children have to endure for the game of "HOCKEY"? How many more will come forward? Shame and not believing the child is a travesty and this is where it should end. Coaches should not be in a room alone with any child. Prison is where Frost belongs for a long long time.
Awards should be taken away from him and his name should be wiped from the sport of Hockey forever.

My family became hockey fans here when Sheldon Kennedy's brother played for our local minor pro team and we became good friends with his family. I hope this monster David Frost was found guilty and sent to prison for a long,long time. These things should not happen to young boys and their families and people need to be made aware of what to look for. The more it is in the public eye the more people will pay attention and maybe it will save some kids and their families this heartache.

First off,I have to thank Sheldon Kennedy for making me aware of what to watch for at hockey training camps.Had a short conversation with Frost outside the Desoronto Rink;shortly after my son was no longer a player with the Quinte Hawks ---- thank god.I feel that Mike Danton needs professional help and a US Prison will not do that for him.The true Mike Danton/David Frost Story needs to be told and David Frost must be sent to prison. Mike Danton has been through more than the average person can realize.

David Frost is a sick sick man...he should be locked up and have the key thrown away. What he has done not only to Mike Danton but countless other hockey players is inexcusable. He is truly a monster. I know from seeing him first hand. My brother was coached by him in Deseronto and let me tell you, it's worse than what the news reporters tell us.

I went to school with [Frost]. Even then he was able to do the most damage with the least amount of effort. Surviving David Frost has seared an acrid impression on my memory of growing up in Brampton.

David Frost, I pray he is put in jail for a very, very longtime. How many other families has he destroyed?
