Yes, the coaches know who they are, and they will be the first to go. The easiest way to attract players is to guarantee lots of ice time. That is why there'll be a shortened bench. Parents will pay extra knowing their kid will be on the ice a lot.
The way to attract players is Development, a good program, AAA caliber players ( 3-4 kids ) and winning ...... APR has very little of that.
They have all the OSH/CLA kids that were cut and their coaching is sub par at best.
having a short bench is not going to fix that. This current team would be a mid pack AA team.
Cleaning house might be a natural occurrence as the top players will try their best to get out and other centers cuts will come calling.
This team needs to bring in a AAA coach with experience with development and running a successful program.
Exactly. Not just winning but a winning mentality. That starts with getting rid of the toxic behavior. Will be interesting to see how that shakes out in APR land
