14 & 24 are the best D pair in the league. Hands down.
24 being moved to forward. Don’t think he can play D anymore.
Next year will be his last year in AAA anyway.
I think next year is the last year for all those kids except 67 if any of them even made a AAA team for next season. None of those kids can skate, they are already professional bench warmers, have no hockey sense and delusional parents who will do anything to keep their kid relevant. News flash if your kid is t getting top 6 minutes put them in AA where they can develop
67 has grown early, that doesn’t mean he’s going to continue to grow like that. Mom and Dad are not especially tall. 67 is also not a great hockey player. Take away his size and nobody would look twice. Once he gets past his early growth spurt and everybody else catches up and passes him, his perceived advantage will be over.
Kids who mature early and have parents who are under 5’10” are not going to have 6’ tall kids, it’s basic physiology and genetics. They matured early and thus have an advantage early, but by 14 or 15 that will be long gone. LT from Quebec is a good example.
Kids who don’t mature early and have parents under 5’10” also won’t grow up to be big, so they shouldn’t be thinking they will be either.
And yes I am a doctor, and I’m also under 5’10”.
67's father is over 6 feet and his mother's father is 6'4". The father is a physical anomaly, incredibly smart and more personality than a box of lucky charms. There is a reason everyone drools over that kid, he will be a force of nature.
Obviously 67 drunken dad typed that because nobody would know how tall the grandpa is. That means nothing BTW, parents directly relate to 80% of anticipated growth. 67 dad is maybe 6’ at best, he’s not taller than that.
Most important the kid is not a good skater, does it have a great shot, and does not have very good IQ. 5-6 goals in 32 games? Sad. He’s also a big teddy bear who gets pushed around by more aggressive players. Nobody is drooling over the kid, he’s another BIg 78. Exact same type of kid.
Best coaching isn't guaranteed in Top 4. Wrong anyways, it's Top 5, then the rest
Who’s a coach on a team outside of the top 4 who’s better than the top 4 coaches?
TRW - nope.
DMF - not even close.
MM - maybe AS
REPS - nope. Pond hockey.
REBELS - LD but he’s not HC and also leaving.
TT - not even close.
Sens - No
NYR - Good but nope.
You can’t group them together like top 4 or top 5 whatever. AM can’t coach worth a damn and he has a top 4 team. Plays the same 8 kids in big games and his D chip just the puck to the forwards and play very very basic stuff if you watch them and have coached any level of hockey before.
DV, BP and AS are the 3 best coaches in the loop by far. AS has done very well with a team that only has 2 good players. I would put AN at #4.
The worst coached teams are DMF, REPS and TT. Pure circuses on the ice and don’t even seem to run much set plays or systems.
You guys are stupid, this is minor hockey as long as you have good players , you can put a donkey on bench still win the game.
You’ve never had good coaching
lol, touched someone's pain point. Hope you are not the donkey on the bench and team still winning lol
You thin k you touched a nerve when someone tactfully points out that you have no clue what you're talking about? You sound frustrated that your son is a nobody, playing on a bad team. Get used to it.
67 from TRW is like Shrek on skates. The kid sucks at hockey and isn't even tough. He's got maybe one more year in this league and then back to AA. Maybe he looked good playing in Hamilton because there aren't any decent players out there.

Last year he scored 100 goals in U11 AA last year. Maybe there is a larger difference in the G - AAA than The Hamilton/Waterdown O? Maybe there are better players in AAA and AAA GTHL than AA Hamilton loop. Leave 67 alone it was a learning year that you can't do everything yourself and expect the same results like the year previous.

Oh shaddap you hick! Nobody’s jealous of a guy with a serious drinking problem who constantly looks like he just rolled out of bed.
