You sound like the parent of one of the TM dwarves that’s getting the boot. It’s not the coaches fault that your kid lost the genetic lottery

Which one is it? CC, NP or PA? All were kicked to the curb and not asked back.

NYR - looking to get bigger, some not happy there... skating kids from G to OMHA. Losing both Goalies. Probably 5-6 new faces

JRC - changes coming, people leaving on their own or not asked back. Looking at same kids as NYR. Probably 3-4 new faces minimum.

DMF - Is coach staying? Nobody knows and it will change team moving forward who's on the bench. Likely only a couple of changes.

TM - new coaches looking at ALL options, only 5 kids committed to returning for next season. Neither goalie has a spot yet. Where will they find all necessary players?

VK - parents control team, think bringing in new players will solve issues. Both goalies leaving, looking for entire new D core.

MR - few of their players seen at other bday skates. Frenchy leaving because never stay on same team for multiple seasons. Total mystery what happens. Probably 4-5 new faces.

Nats - might need a whole new team. 7-10 kids leaving, even some to lower teams. This team could be much worse.

TRW - looking at AA and AAA kids, running weekly skates and trying to get kids from everywhere. Likely to improve somewhat, but size could be a challenge.

TT - open to changes with everyone except money-kids. Need goalies, probably getting one from a top team. Trying to buy entire groups of kids from G, OMHA, Alliance, USA, China, etc.

Sens - should be open to change everything. Picking up Nats players, maybe some OMHA and alliance kids and a new goalie.... main recruiter won't commit to returning and likely leaves. Could be a mess for LD to fix.

MM - only 3-4 kids guaranteed to return with new coaches. Where do they find new players?

Reps - who knows, nobody on that team should be happy with season outcome. Many calling around but not sure any team higher takes them. Most destined for AA again.

Who from OMHA and Alliance is likely to join G next year? I get some OMHA centers are not too much of a drive but who from Alliance would be moving to play in the G

... you do realize that this age group has some of the most stacked benches u10-18 right? JRC, NYR, VK,
MR, ex pro's, with a high end skills coach..
you are upset that junior has his dads genes, unathletic and dumb. It pains you to hear that you are not being asked back to VK. reps/mm look like a good option next year!

Did someone just include the VK coaches in that jiberish? Let me guess the Everest team is coming in? High end skills coach? Who the hell is that? You make me laugh. VK coaching staff is nothing special they didn't play any high level and have done nothing accept convince a bunch of parents they are top notch and to pay 14k a year for their program. Now they're new program is to bring in a bunch on new kids. What happened to the buy in to the program that they all payed a premium for? OMG. vaffanculo

What are you talking about? DS played pro , JD played pro and I think games in the NHL. They have won OHL cup as coaches. They are skilled on the ice and have a resume of success. My younger son has a 260 lb fat guy and an uncle on the bench. None can skate or shoot, thats the alternative. Be appreciative that your son had his last taste of good coaching… You got cut and it hurts bad, everyone feels for you. Keep deflecting from your son not being all that good and pass the blame on to anyone but your kid!!

Is the 260lb fat guy the same guy that works at Everest that can't bend over and tie his own skates? He's the top recruiter for VK. He's telling everyone at Everest they should go play for VK. So much for developing kids and "THE PROGRAM" best development in the league as they self proclaim themselves as a sales pitch to those desperate. WE all see through that pitch. I bet 5 kids leave this year and they lose both goalies.

VK will be just fine - lots of goalies looking to come to the G. Hamilton, YSE, North Shore, Waxers all have goalies that want to make the move. I'm sure the 5 kids won't be big losses in any event.

Who the F are you to insult a child or family like that. You are a coward and I'll call you out any day punk. I came here to see positive stuff about hockey and I see a comment from a feeble coward. If you want to talk more let's have it on sweet pee.

Hahahah. Let's do it you coward.

The only cowards are the ones posting on here about kids. No one doing well or in a solid spot gives a shit about this site. No man with any balls is going to talk shit on a website anonymously. It’s bottom feeder dads. Same body types. Minimal athletic ability. Sitting behind their computer on a Friday night watching Live Barn games for gossip. Don’t let these clowns get to you. 1 more reason and they’ll all be weeded out.

I’m glad I didn’t pay $12k+ to be done 2 months before tryouts
