There are a few good pieces in AA, few from outside... that team is fine.

No one will be interested in coming to LJK if AA players are moving up, and one for sure is. We have seen this for years. Very few AA will excel at the AAA level. Good luck recruiting.

At Elgin the coach picks bench before tryouts. 3/4 assistant coach kids can be the bottom 3 on the team but are all guaranteed spots before stepping on the ice and they get more ice time. London is known to have quality coaches at AAA, they make mistakes on occasion but they do right by players.

HS deserves the ice time and RS is a good coach. The other asst coaches aren’t parents

True RS is a good coach and HS is a good player.
What about RD??

Or in past years when all parents on the bench SB? GP? CL? Do all their kids incl. RD deserve the ice time they have over the years?

lol who cares

Allot of people care, why are their hundreds of negative messages toward this year and emc. math is hard, but when 20% of your team is coached on to the team, it means 80% of team suffers the fallouts

Because that same guy has approximately 12 personalities and has told multiple people he will “ruin” them .. no one cares

Sometimes overtime those AA kids are better replacement pieces than the bottom end AAA kids. Those numbers might be impacted by open borders but that doesn't change the fact AA kids become good enough to play AAA. There are always a few at every age group...

Listening to all the noise!
3 years ago…he AP’d for the age group up. Last year, AAA AP and this year, AP’ing for U14 Green. So get your facts straight!
ND is a very valuable Coach, with an almost undefeated record since LJK U10!
Not Allowed about Hockey Canada, Alliance, Local Organizations…but chirping 12/13 year old kids is just pathetic!

Nobody chirping…just stating facts and it seems the player is the soft spot apparently. If he isn’t the top 2 or 3 in that age group AA then people have the right to question the decision. Is the player a top end AA player? Are there others that would deserve that nod? All very legit questions. Not chirping

I would agree with that, good AA players are coachable.. if aaa players are plateauing the good AA players will surpass

False information. Letters do not make you coachable. Any coach will tell you that. AA players are AA for a reason, 99% of the time. Physically, skill, speed, strength, IQ... all reasons why kids play at different levels. Yes AA can make a AAA team.. but that team will be a weak AAA team. And those kids will get very little ice in most centres. Bantam changes the playing field.

London is really desperate for any players right now.. check them out

If your kid is good and wants to get ice time check London out. Going to Elgin will be more of the same as mentioned above. Remember they all play in the same league.
