By then, scouts are looking at players with years of high-level experience, not someone trying to break through late in the game. Remember, these teams are drafting from all over Canada and across the globe, competing against players who have already proven themselves in elite leagues. Without signs of elite athleticism and development by 16, it’s incredibly hard to stand out later when others have two extra years of competing at the highest levels. It’s a tough reality, but it underscores the importance of performing early in your draft year.

Just going to eat my pop corn and watch VR AND VP go at it all season.
No one else really matters. I mean if the rest of the AA loop didn’t hate Vaughn teams so much it would be boring.
Plus the rivalry between VR and VP is just awesome and nothing comes close to it in this loop.
So basically, VR and VP make it entertaining - for everyone.

I agree! Pass me a beer and let the show start. Learn how to have some class...it's just AA.
