The reality is this…..no coach can make a donkey a good hockey player. Yes you can put the kid on the ice 7 days a week, provide him the best coaches around, and maybe you feel there is a glimmer of hope b/c he grew early as well.

Sounds like the new NYR.Guest wrote: ↑Tue Feb 11, 2025 12:06 pmNo so bad. They have managed to keep more than half of their original minor atom roster, build a strong culture and stay competitive with the top teams in North America. What other team can say that? JRC and VK rooms are disasters. But I guess winning trumps everything for some people. Look at the bigger picture people.Guest wrote: ↑Tue Feb 11, 2025 11:32 amSame old sorry ass MarliesGuest wrote: ↑Tue Feb 11, 2025 11:02 amcomicalGuest wrote: ↑Tue Feb 11, 2025 10:48 am TM will be the top team. Adding the best goalie in the league and a top scoring forward from VK will be a huge boast to their offence. The NYR kid is big and strong and TM first line is already the top scoring line in the league. Adding kid from JRC will add grit and balance the scoring. JB has assembled the ideal roster.
Top athletes will win out by far in the end. What you should be looking for are kids that play two or three sports, and are naturally great at all of them (top). Specifically, they are doing this from having not matured early, unlike a kid that is just bigger and stronger than 98% of the other kids. Sorry , kid is not good:(?
Athletes like this, that are tenacious , coordinated, fast twitch little beasts will have an improvement curve that is off the charts. Not only will their future improvement come from spending more time on the ice they will also drastically improve from maturation and having learned to play against more mature competition.
This my friend is where the stars of tomorrow are found!
Don’t believe me, or don’t want to believe me b/c it contradicts your reality….. just research a little sport science !
