U10 AAA always has massive gap between the top and bottom. What I’m seeing at the skates is the gap in this age group will be a lot closer than previous years. The teams will all be competitive. Go look at the current u10 aaa standings — we won’t have that next year.
I disagree. There will be a huge gap. Just look at KSl for this age group. Outside of group A the teams are very weak and could not beat any team in group A except for maybe Saints who seem very inconsistent. Out of that group one will be WW, JRC will take their core and other better kids off other teams. Same with TM. Saints will be TRW. Then you got NATS and VK. All other teams will be very weak. They will be competitive against each other but can’t beat any of the other top teams. So gap is close within weak teams but huge against the top teams. Teams like MM, Sens, DmF , NYR , Reps, Rebels will be much weaker.
I am not disagreeing with this generally (however I dont agree with what teams you think will be good and wont... but who cares for now) But what I was saying is, there will not be a zero loss team and a zero win team in this group. The standings wont shake down the way the current u10 and last year have gone. The bottom teams will all win some games and the top ones will lose some. That is my prediction for now until proven otherwise.



Nothing matters unless you got the cold hard cash 💰 to pay your way into the best teams. I’ve seen average players go far because the parents paid some extra money to the club.
Very insightful comment and totally on top topic. Thank you for your meaningless contribution

Buying your way on a team will have very little impact. At most maybe 2 such players would be offered spots where they are totally not meant to be there.

Not sure. I was at other skates and they were not good (compared to what I was expecting.) but half the city seems to be sick and all three of kids teams were missing 3-4 players each this weekend. I dont think this was a good weekend for any skates for any team. Teams should have early Jan skates to fill out the rosters.

Careful, Coach of the Year over here dropping wisdom like he’s drafting for the NHL. Maybe next time he can schedule skates around flu season too.

Most skates have been disappointing. Some worst than others. JRC and Nats better than others.

Oh wow! You sound like a creeper going to watch kids at skates! If I ever see you hanging around, I’ll take your picture and report you.

The Red Wings skate was much better than the 1st one as there were kids from Duffield White, Raiders, Vaughan Red and Cobras skating. Doesnt mean much but could be some nice addons to a solid core of the NS.
