a lot of players 'hide' behind good teams and players that are better than them not just goalies. Of course a goalie will do well if he has a great team in front of him. The issue I see is that there just aren't many great goalies at the '14 level anywhere in N. America. I mean there are some good ones but even on the ones on the top teams seem better than they are because of the team they have in front of them.
I truly believe that as the kids get older more goalies will emerge from teams that aren't really on the radar. It takes maturity to be a good goalie and that often comes with age. And no i'm not a goalie parent thank God.
This guy nailed it. Total facts. There are good goalies, and there are better goalies. But there are not 10/11 year old 'great' goalies. They're simply as good as the team in front of them. Talk of the 'great' goalies in the AAA loop are only of those on the best teams - and we've all seen those games where the goalie gets the 'win' when seeing 2 shots. Where is talk of 'great' goalies who are losing 7-1, but stopping 35 of 42 shots?
GTHL AA loop has goalies that could walk into AAA at this age group, but don't because of politics or because parents can't afford the stupid prices. Or simply because they don't want to pay $10k+ for their kid to sit on the bench 50% of the time (except Tendy's parents, apparently).
Tex was exposed as a brick goalie for a terrible team. Got lit up. Saint played well but still didn't win the brick, strong team in front of him, still lost. HS gets exposed every time a better team than VK plays against them. FM saw 6 shots in 5 games and won PHD 3v3. It means nothing. Call us all when they've proven themselves at U15 AAA.
AA goalies will be fine facing bottom AAA shots, but once again, it all depends on what team is in front of you at the AAA level. In AA, that's not the case as there are no real teams or players that threaten to shoot at a AAA level with any real consistency. AA goalies won't know until they are in the AAA mix.
Not true at all - good AA goalies are as good, if not better, than some AAA goalies. There simply aren't enough spaces in AAA for the talent pool. AA has some BIG goalies who are excellent, HVS as an example. And don't get me wrong, there are some shit AAA goalies at the moment, who shouldn't be in AA, farless AAA, but again, politics and the people you know keep them put for the time being. To balance the scales, there are AA goalies who cannot compete either - good example was the Tigers 2014 goalie at Family Day 3v3. Couldn't match the AAA speed to save his life. Unfortunate for him and parent to blame for putting in that position.
That said - put a AAA kid who knows how to shoot the puck top corner glove side, hard, and accurately, and they score every time. Doesn't matter who the goalie is - even HS or the Saint. They score every time because goalies aren't 6+ feet tall and players are ahead. When they even out, the game settles down. Yes, there are genuine AA goalie who cannot compete at AAA level, and that's why AA and A, BB, House etc. exist. But to make sweeping statements that "AA goalies will be fine facing bottom AAA shots" and "In AA, that's not the case as there are no real teams or players that threaten to shoot at a AAA level with any real consistency" is just not true. There are also players who are AAA caliber who choose to play AA because AAA is a gongshow. It's the team in front that makes or breaks goalies at this age. End of story. Highlighted by some of the terrible games HS has had. Want to see how good he is without a team in front of him? Get him to play a game with SYB or Aeros. See what the end score is when they're up against TRT or EE.
TS and HS just got called out!
Is TS up for that challenge? Or is he afraid of HS getting EXPOSED
These comments are super idiotic guy. HS is a stud Saint is a stud- both have been pushed by over hyped avenues. let 10d get a boost and we will see. Most of you don’t know what to look for when it comes to goaltending! Pay attention

The AA goalie you speak of, or any other 'big' goalie in the AA loop for that matter, have nowhere near the technical abilities of a HS or any other elite level AAA goalie. No one knows of you at the AAA level for a reason. Your goalie coach is just trying to give you hope. You want to be noticed, come on up to the AAA level and play with the big boys. Do your time, earn your time and respect. Until then, keep aspiring but please, stop with this and that chatter. We all know an A player or goalie that is so lights out that could play year up on the top AAA team. Keep your bullshit theory in the AA posting thread.

Trevor Selinger - always good to have your input, especially the continued reference to your kid as an 'elite level AAA goalie'. Which is he? AAA, or elite? Probably NHL ready? Has Hudson done his time and earned his respect? Most in the AAA loop would argue not. He's got a mental dad who makes him out to be way better than what he is, that's not earning respect.
Think you're struggling with reading here too - the guy said 'there are AA goalies who cannot compete either - good example was the Tigers 2014 goalie at Family Day 3v3. Couldn't match the AAA speed to save his life. Unfortunate for him and parent to blame for putting in that position'. There was no comparison of Tigers goalie and Hudson dipshit.

We've all seen 10D play and his videos. Kid has the size of a teenager and the movement of a toddler. Apparently you don't know what to look for when it comes to goaltending either.

I would have to agree, AA goalies and their parents can talk all they want. Put them in the same situation as the referenced Tigers goalie, and the same or worse result. HS may have been lit up, it was 3v3 and he didn't face your average team. Not many goalies could have had the same or better result.

You Not allowed loser goalie dads are all the same. The same boring Not allowed comments all the Not allowed time. Comparing your kids to anyone and everyone, saying you're the best, your kid is the best, it gets real boring, real Not allowed fast. Always the same shit day in and day out "Hudson is the best, no the Saint is the best, no Tex is the best, no Kauffman is the best".
All of you get the Not Allowed off this site, meet up at Westwood, grab your measuring tape, and see once and for all which one of you has the biggest dick. Then you can put the rest of this bullshit to rest.

You forgot FMs dad. He's absolutely want in on the dick measuring contest. When he finds it under his gut of course.
lots of teams falling apart it seems...even before tryouts.
Weakish year teams scrambling for talent.
Teams are falling apart before tryouts? Hell, Guido’s hairline fell apart before puberty. Coaches are scrambling for talent—meanwhile, Guido’s scalp is scrambling for its last three hairs to hold the line.
