The score sheet says on thing, if you actually watched the games they will say another.

Brantford has a great goalie that keeps them hanging around. He is definitely one that can steal a game for his team maybe a series.

What is the rumor in Brantford? Is the team hanging around... players jumping ship?

Super team incoming. They’ll compete with Chatham and the rest of the province.

New roster is almost set. Major changes

This is not true. There are big things coming to Brantford but the roster is not set at all.

Brantford and Waterloo top players need to figure out a way to play together. London and Elgin will swap a few kids and end up the same. Chatham has been quiet but I assume there will be a lineup of people wanting to play there.

I agree with this. They should find a way to come together and give alliance another powerhouse - but Brantford kids won’t leave now. The new coach played in the NHL for years and is taking them all the way to their draft year. I wouldn’t want to leave that situation

I thought Elgin was a powerhouse

Chatham is the only Alliance powerhouse at this age group. I'm sure there are a few kids that would want to play for Chatham but is the team looking for anyone to add?

Mm.. I would say Chatham, EMC and LGK are all very strong. Next year will be interesting to see who moves where.

Chatham doesn’t “need” anything but a few of their current players could be edged out by the open borders

EMC needs better goalies and a few defence

LGK needs better defence and could also use 1 goalie

Both London goalies are good, no need to change.
Elgin cut D that are better then their bottom 3

Bad coaches come in many forms, ones who play favorites or are enabling of top players and neglectful toward weaker ones. many youth coaches want to win at the cost of development of everyone on the team. let’s not forget daddy who builds the season around making sure little no names looks good

EMC needs to develop players. They are given chances and blow them every single year at every single age group because they don’t have the right people in place.

Chatham takes kids who were passed on and turns them into hockey players. That’s why they’re good.

lol you are hell bent on rehashing the same line.

Individually some kids are failing to progress.. and others are getting better .. that is life

Kids plateau.. some younger, some older.. Chatham had kids that were on their team last year, that didn’t make it this year.. did their coach fail to develop those kids? Or did they just plateau.

LGK is in 3rd.. are they not developing to be able to beat Chatham? Or are the kids just doing their best?

EMC is in 2nd.. they lost a great forward with some scoring power. They are still also doing great.

And again.. the top three team are all doing really good.
