Who attended the JRC skate yesterday?

Any more JRC skates, we missed it. I heard they have room both on F and D to fill

JRC in trouble next year, losing 3 key pieces by the sounds of it from Dynak

So JRC wasn’t asking back VB’s son for next season and VB orchestrated a move to Titans and stepped up to ‘help’ coach to recruit other players from JRC.

Power move by VB. Love it.

Moral of the story - Don’t be a dick, people have options

My kid got the same offer, several parents in same boat. They have offered 25 kids spots on TM next yr.

Not having a kid in your situation I would say this. First off commits to both teams can be pulled by coaches pretty much anytime up to that tournament. If they are using a tournament team to extort parents i to playing for their club team what does that say about them.


If your kid is happy playing where he is keep them there. Take a family vacation same time as the tournament and no one will even think of it.

And lastly its a tournament played in a mall
In Edmonton
In July.


Quite frankly I am surprised some other group has not come up with a better tournament during the same time in a better location and facilities.

There are four kinds of parents when it comes to the Brick...

1. The Brick is the be all and end all. Puts your kid on track to make the NHL. Spend every dollar possible to make it happen for your kid.
2. My kid is talented enough to make a Brick team but I'm not going to bend over backwards for it. I admit it's the top tournament for 10 year olds.
3. Brick schmick. Waste of money. Kid is talented enough to be there but no chance I'm spending that money. Will instead do other high calibre tournaments and save 15k.
4. You guys are all nuts. My kid is gonna play baseball this summer.

I pick 4. Does anyone else follow the studies about multi sport athletes?

Hockey is the only sport

guido and mass are pieces of garbage, no doubt.

guido looks like he came from the soup kitchen, while cella looks more put together with his hair plugs and just for men hair color dye
