It's not Karen, it's her entourage and how things went down with Avanta didn't leave the best impression on folks.
I know nothing about Karen's entourage or the impression that Karen leaves on coaches or coaching staff.
"How things went down with Avanta", however, worked massively to *Avanta's* detriment. I know I would never buy a pair of skates from a company with so little understanding of public relations or common decency. :disapp: I don't care if Karen threw her skates in the river and said "Avanta bites and is solely responsible for every problem I have ever had". Avanta messed that situation up royally, and Avanta did not leave the best impression on folks.
