With 1 less team the format would change slightly one would imagine.

would be great if they went back to the 1v8 2v7 ect. format with the bottom 6 having a play in series ( home/home )

round 1
( first to 4 pts )
6v11
7v10
8v9

round 2
( first to 6pts )
1v8
2v7
3v6
4v5

winners advance to Omha

This will never happen because the bottom end teams would only get 2 playoff games and then their season would be over. unless you hold a weekend tournament for the remaining 7 teams once eliminated.

Group B
YSE
WW
BJC
NSW
PP
COW

Quinte beat Kingston 1-0 last night. Close game. Was anyone at the game to give the lowdown?

It was close however Qrd had more chances over 3 periods. Qrd is very disciplined. GK did good job in defensive zone and got pucks deep the whole game and exposed Qrd weakness which is our D. KG are basically 1 and a half lines of AAA caliber players so amazing they sit 2nd in league. Kingston had a ton of chances throughout the game but the Qrd forwards are very good supporting Dzone.
Have to laugh about above KG #77 going to Qrd. Kid was a no show lastnight. Qrd wants to get bigger, stronger, more teams/systems - not smaller,slower and no passing. Qrd looking at NSWC x2 players, 1 WW and COW 1-2 which includes a goalie there. Qrd will shed the small guys this year and we will get bigger in prep for U14.

Little early to be drinking ?

“Bigger stronger” getting ready for U14…..

QRD can look all they want……. People don’t want to make that drive 5 times a week. Other teams are going to get stronger, when contact starts QRD will be in trouble.

P.S COW goalie is talking to a few teams.

^^^^ not true as I know at least one of these claims is not true from speaking directly to the family.

This had WW parent written all over it, no one want to play in Whitby trust me.

Why doesn't anyone want to play in Whitby?

Because it’s a cult

Confirmed 2 new goalies for next year!

1 from a top team

Every team is likely looking to upgrade the position.

Number of players leaving current team

QRD - 1 maybe 2
Kingston - 3
Whitby - 1 maybe 2
Barrie - 1 maybe 2
YSE - 1
NS - 2
PP - 1
COW - 3 maybe 4
APR - 2
MW - 0
NCP - 1

When you say “leaving” is that by choice?

I would say those number would be a lot higher as AA players will take spots on weaker teams ie. MW,NCP and APR,COW

Kingston players will Goto Quinte, Quinte players to NS …. COW to PP, I doubt any NCP players make Barrie, everyone hates Whitby so I doubt anyone is going there …. Gonna be interesting

Leaving for other opportunities

Kingston - #77 to QRD
QRD - #19 to PP
WW - #91 to G LOL
NS - #19 and #8 to WW
YSE - #7 gone

There will be a few more.

I heard YSE #7 was cut

That was a 5-2 game with 2 empty netters. QRD was taking it to us in the 3rd until one of their players took a 5 minute major. Those are the real facts. That said QRD has never beaten us. They don’t have the goaltending to beat any quality team that can get pucks to their net.

You aren’t a VK parent. Our team stats shows that VK outshot QRD 32-14 in that game, they did not challenge us at all. And there was 1 empty net goal in the 6-1 victory.
QRD don’t have any goal scorers, that’s the problem. They can’t compete against top 5 GTHL teams. It’s not the goalies fault.

I saw the game and agree with this. Tiny kids like EA and KW struggle against good teams and are fading fast as we get close to big boy hockey. That’s why VK said No to EA when Jamie called asking for a spot next year. Eat your Wheaties and try again when you grow bud.
