OHL regional scouts selected the players. Fact.

OHL scouts or independent scouts? Two different things.

Independent scouts evaluated for Heo who put the teams together. Independent doesnt mean people didnt know who they were. You cant blame the scouts who watched two games for the teams that were ultimately formed. The bigger issue is this is 40% of the entire AAA league who made these teams. In theory every team sent their best 40%. That simply wasnt close to real life. I believe having some of the bottom level kids from certain positions make the team was a good thing to see. Kids need to be put in positions where they can step up their game and play in unfamiliar situations. But if thats the case just mix up all 5 teams [balance them out and change up all lines, let coaches who actually know the players in the league pick em] and play a Heo only tournament. Invite the world to watch, stream it free on FB. That might require Heo to do some actual work however so every team better send 5 volunteers but thats doable. A -~real~- scout told me Heo hasnt been able to pull this off for years. Time to change it up.

I look forward to watching the next livebarn OVT and Myers games. Based on their Prospects games selections they better win 15-0.

Dave Cameron picked the teams.

Rumour has it. Myers prez. helped picked the team. He sits on all the boards and talks to every scout around.
Politics at its finest!

Rumour has it HEO regional OHL scouts picked the teams. Actually wait that's not a rumour it's what happened. Get over it, some surprises but not really at the end of the day.

There is no need to single out any kids as being undeserving at this point. Let that go. What would be more interesting would be to provide clarity on the process and who and how many independent scouts made the choices. Transparency is always a good thing.

WHEN YOU ADD THREE MYERS AND 2-3 OVTT PLAYERS THAT 100% SHOULD NOT BE THERE THAN there is an issue. Like everyone cries "DONT NAME NAMES" SO WE WONT. But we all know Prez, of Myers has a tonne of pull with HEO , and gets what he wants. Hence he has OVTT in pocket as well . It's a cycle that has never changed , and never will . These guys live in past , and have little clue who are the best OHL prospects , outside of the obvious guys. Cant wait till it's all over.
