lol and my kid and his team would wipe the floor with all of them…

The G doesn't necessarily have better coaches but people will move over for something shiny. OHF will have it cuboards bare this year as people will move and they don't run/recruit the way the G does.

I’d happily go anywhere that has a non-parent coach.

! More Associations.need to find GOOD non parent coaches, one of the biggest problems in minor hockey, Parent coaches who pick their friends and not the best team, IMO, if you a parent coach, the association should be part of assessing players and choosing teams!

Aside from picking their friends, they become obsessed with the gamesheet stats and manipulate players to benefit who they want to look better.

Experiencing this first hand. The coach is intentionally putting my kid with the worst players all year. His kid has played with the best player all year and whoever is hot at the time.

AAA is open, but I can't see a lot of parents driving over an hour for practices and games. It is not worth it.

Anyone driving over an hour to play hockey needs some serious help.

For some of us it is driving an hour in a different direction, or in this case, going further but on much better roads where in bad weather it will actually be a quicker drive.

Just saying, when youngers played in GTHL, it could take well over an hour for all the Scarborough kids to get to North Mississauga for practices and games. Traffic's a beeeeoch.
