Clearly one of the 3 rd line JRC parents. What are you even developing for if your kid barely plays in games?

What I said is the truth. Development comes from playing, not sitting on the bench. Everyone knows that, yet you have parents who put their kids on top AAA teams thinking they're doing them a solid, but if they're not playing, they're not developing. U16 is the only year that matters, so why not put your kid on a team where they will get a ton of minutes? Those kids will pass the kids on top AAA teams who sit on the bench and watch.
This is a big problem for Canadian hockey. Development is the whole point of minor hockey. Chasing a logo or trophy or whatever is totally pointless.

Re: 2011 AAA
100 % wrong. You develop when you have purposeful practice and want to be there eagerly. 3 rd liners don’t want to be there and believe they are second class citizens. They get nothing out of that!

Re: 2011 AAA
Cmon you gotta be joking. Buddy are you that naive. Practice is practice. As Iverson said when he missed practice “it’s just practice, we talking about practice?”. Nobody goes at a 100% at practice and no if you don’t get to play in high intensity games you will not develop. If you are a 3rd liner parent do your kid a favor. Get him on a team where he will play, feel like he’s important to the team and build his confidence. The biggest development killer is confidence. Do you know how your kid probably feels when he’s on the bench and shift after shift your kid is being skipped over. The team is up by 5 in the 4rd and these kids still being skipped over. Just so you can say he plays on JRC. Have you ever asked your kid his thoughts? Your kid is probably good enough to play on 1st or second line elsewhere and not get skipped over. Just my thoughts.Guest wrote: ↑Wed Jan 08, 2025 4:25 pmYou develop more in practice, against better players.

Re: 2011 AAA
This has to be the dumbest thing I’ve read all day! Kids need to play in every situation. The parents running your team and in the coaches year after/before every game must love you. I bet you buy beers as well, so at least you feel like you belong.Guest wrote: ↑Wed Jan 08, 2025 6:29 pmGuest wrote: ↑Wed Jan 08, 2025 4:25 pmYou develop more in practice, against better players.

You’re also inept.
Kids develop at different rates.

If you’re on the bench, you’re watching other kids develop and have fun.

Re: 2011 AAA
Nope you are way off. Even at the pro level (NHL) what do they do with the rookie that is not getting playing time.....they send him down to the AHL to improve with more ice time. They do not keep him practicing with the better NHL'ers. It is even more critical for kids!Guest wrote: ↑Wed Jan 08, 2025 4:25 pmYou develop more in practice, against better players.
