Where do the GTA Aces teams stand for U9 and what levels are their players expected to end up in U10?

TR team good, their loop goes

Perhaps TR and Oakville compete but lose to TR, YK but likely edge out MR and NS (making this all up since they wont play!)

With the exception of maybe Oakville, TR and others have been playing predominately 3/4 ice so it would be unfair to compare. I would imagine that they don't have the depth as most T1 Klevr teams by virtue of being community hockey programs (many of which lost top players to Klevr) but that's not to say there aren't a group of talented kids that will end up in AAA.

They had 2-3 very strong players that should be a good core for U9. Assume that Aces will build around that for TT in U10.

Who is the "good core"? The kid that scored 70% of their goals I believe went to another Klevr team.

Interesting, thank you. And what about the GTA Aces Red? Didn't they beat GTA Aces Black in the recent Championship Weekend?

TR and these other teams hire private refs and play full ice games they just don't advertise bc it's breaking HC rules.

For those of us who's oldest child is just entering U10 AAA next year (2026-27) - what is the norm for OMHA AAA hockey --- do we try and reach out to the announced coach in Jan/Feb and express our interest/ask to attend ID skates? Do we just attend try-outs and hope for the best? I know I've read most AAA teams are selected before try-outs, just wondering if this rings true for U10 as well since it's the first year?

Will be coming from Klevr and likely son will be 3rd liner material if he makes it. (The home rink is minutes from our door-step though and we play in an area where there AA is a 40 minute drive and the alternative is only A in our area).

Aces Red beat the Aces Black. Aces red improved significantly during the season and surpassed Aces black. 3-4 really good core players on the red as well with couple of super fast kids. Too bad the whole team went to other Klevr teams this year. Poor player management by the owner, elected to sign the bottom players from Ironman before signing their own top players.

No draw for 2017 Aces given TT team promised to Humber Valley coach
