Accurate. Also a number of A moving up to AA who want the contact now. GTHL is a revolving door and movement both ways will be big next yr. I know SIR, FH, WH and NT kids going to aa. Im sure there are plenty more
Moving up. And aa cuts coming down. Is this a surprise? SIR has paid coach already. Aa cuts will go there. Also not a surprise, but 50k is way off

SIR does not have a paid coach. Uncle on the goalie and great guy.

Interesting. I always assumed it was an uncle reffing the games at Montgomery.

Bahahahaha!! You think SIR gets favourable treatment?? Have you ever seen an SIR game? Probably the heaviest penalized team.

TRT: heard they are getting 5 AA players
LF: assistant coach is leaving, looking to do a package deal with LF AA which is blowing up
FH: looking for new goalie apparently
GP: new coach coming from OMHA with 10 skaters and a goalie.

WH is getting 9 top AA players and an NHL calibre coach, all for 12K per kid! Will be the best team in the loop!

Not sure I’d say this was a big upset. I think Leaside has now beaten every team ahead of it in the standings. Top 7 teams are very close.

NT and LF are very similar. Well coached and play a smart team game, but not as talented as the other top teams and rely too much on goaltending. I'm not sure they are true contenders.

I agree, did Leaside only win last night because of their goalie? Or were they overall the better team

Yep! Those kids may struggle at AA but will be studs in A. After all they played AA and two A’s are better than one A!
