You figured it out here…lol. Cookie cutter and you figured out the recipe. The kid playing on VK has aspirations to play in the show and the kid playing on the Reps is a future beer leaguer aspriration. I’ll bet on 99% of this 2011 age group in this chat will be in the beer league by the time they’re 22. Stats don’t lie. Enjoy the ride it’s almost over. Let the kids have fun.

True enough. There will be a very very small percentage that play beyond 22 years of age. Another small percentage will play competitively after U16. It’s about prioritizing life and career ambitions. Some will stretch it out as long as they can, some will understand that hockey is not going to pay the bills for them so getting ahead in the real world might be a better option. There is no wrong answer and each kid/family has the right to do their own thing. For the majority, competitive hockey is over after U16. Enjoy the ride and support all the kids. It goes by too fast!

Too many delusional parents ruin it for everybody else. Kids are usually fine after games with coaches decisions and parents ruin their heads in car rides and home time conversations with other delusional parents. Kids then enter rinks with the same toxic attitudes from their parents. It happens at every age and every level. We forget it’s a game and these kids are lucky enough to be playing at the highest level. No one likes to see their child upset and we need to realize parents are the main reason for ruining the greatest game on earth they have the privilege to play. If 99% don’t make a living out of this game why do parents contribute to creating a toxic environment in a game we all love?

That is super easy to figure it out....the toxic environment is from the creation of an UNFAIR SYSTEM that rewards early maturation and corruption (kick backs). Most importantly, and this is the hardest part for coaches to understand...at this stage of Growth and Development (Learn to Train - LTAD)...THE COACHES DON"T KNOW WHICH KIDS ARE TALENTED YET! They are just seeing early maturation, and playing the men so they can WIN!

All the studies show this, yet ALL THE COACHES (99% uneducated) think they have it all figured out with Talent Identification. So the answer is simple...just make it fair for everyone to succeed at this stage of development! And the question back to you is ----Why is this so hard to understand? Is it culture? Is it ego? Is it lack of education? Is it money, and they don't care? All of them?

Is it ironic that the 3 kids shorter then CS on VK, do not get to play?

CS has little man syndrome. He just hit puberty 2 years ago.

Guest wrote: ↑Sun Feb 02, 2025 8:36 pm What’s the nats roster looking like next year.

It’ll look like a parent coach playing his undeserving son with a load of minutes. At the same time he’ll be playing all his followers kids, including the female on defensive.
Leaving :
4 F
4 D

And eventually a goalie when they find out he’s recruiting other goalies.

she's a top D in 2011 loop. so don't be jealous

Don’t think the poster said she wasn’t. He’s just starting that a female will be coming back with ghe team and change room.
