My kid played in this tournament on the weekend. I'll be honest, it was weak competition, very weak. Both Caps and Wml will struggle as people expect, it is what it is. Not everyone will be a winning team. Caps won't be as bad as some predict here is my guess next season but we will see when real hockey starts in Oct. Wml look weaker than last season, I thought they had some decent players that I guess they have lost, and appears have replaced with ST kids, HVS cuts other randoms. Their best player in this tournament is also not actually on their team. Tourney was fun for the kids, and that's about it.

The benders cup and showdown in the 6th was a much better tournament. Strong spring teams with a mix of AA and AAA. I just watched the caps and westmall game on livebarn. Caps had a few callups as they are short 3 players and westmall was pretty much their team. Callups made a huge difference for the caps. Extra goal scoring and strengthen the D core a little. In my opinion both teams will be in the bottom 5. Caps are small and will struggle against bigger teams. Jets, rattlers, Eagles will dominate and take over against the caps. Westmall looks about the same, they lost some stronger players and replaced with other team cuts. Hard to judge though as caps are just a spring team. There shortening the bench to showcase some AAA callups. I’ve watched streetsville, rattlers, wolverines, beast, sharks and they are just running their core. It’s the fall that counts but playing with your friends on spring teams is fun too.

My take away is it looks like the top teams don't waste their time with spring teams and tournaments.

When’s the next caps tournament? Would like to watch a game live.

Gentlemen, it's June. The sun is shining and it's warm outside. Play a round of golf, take your dog for a walk, mow the lawn. Better yet, take your wife out for dinner - any of these are better alternatives to asking when a group of 15 year olds (you have no relation to) are playing in their next tournament so you can scout them live at the rink. We're better than this.

Looks like the caps posted the team photo on the IG page. I noticed the Redwings and JRC ringer. Who else is there?
