#19 #88 2 top kids hands down

who even are these kids and are they going to VK ?

VK blowing up.

Any players still looking for a spot should be reaching out to VK, they have spots to fill.

I asked a friend who has a kid on the VK about this rumor. They said they heard the same, and had already reached out to CJ about who was committed to staying/going but CJ had not responded to them.

So you are taking the time to write a message about a friend who has a kid on VK who is uncertain of their status on the team?

I asked a friend who has a friend that his kids friend plays for VK and says the team needs players

Let’s think about this, the OMHA players coming to play for the TRW, regardless of where they are coming from will have to pay double the price they are currently paying to play hockey, only to play on a bottom 4 team in the G. This team will potentially be a bottom 2 team. Where can I sign up for that?

At the age of 10 years old, If the opportunity was with a top 6 team, it makes a little more sense!

The players coming to the TRW are TT players and mid pack teams OMHA players. So players from an 11th place team and players from mid pack OMHA teams.

Clearly not very smart people!

They will be bottom 2 guaranteed. I don't mean that as trash talk. Couple players from OMHA AAA team, couple TT players (not the good ones), and some AA. The few TRW players worth returning are leaving. That is a pretty big hole to climb out of.

Let's save this comment and the other ones similar to it, then revisit in a year from now and see how it's aged. Reality is that this is coming from a G parent that has no clue of the talent outside of his bubble, or an OMHA family that is bitter because they weren't included in the conversation.

TRW will not finish lower than 7th next year, guaranteed. Do the families joining believe that they will be the top team in the G? Answer is "no".
With the exception of WW and NCP (for different reasons) and speaking generally, all of the OMHA East teams have at least 2-5 players that other teams would love to have. Typically the skill drop- off is swift once you move past those 2-5 players (again, generally speaking).

Why would anyone not want the current bottom feeder to make drastic changes to improve their program, thus making the whole loop stronger? The attention to this TRW subject seems super odd.

From reading the thread, there seems to be various commentary on the character and integrity of new leadership taking over. Due diligence highly encouraged, as history has a weird way of repeating itself. . A reasonable questions to ask prior to making a commitment to this group;

What is the estimated team budget?
Who will be the team manager next season? If a non parent, WHY?

Due diligence highly encouraged. History has a weird way of repeating itself.

100% this. Buyer beware.

This is so dumb. We all know all of here will 100% sign with TRW if they are the only team offering us a spot. Why else are there 50+ of us out at skates? You can tell me they are totally corrupt, but if this is the only offer my kid is getting then I'm taking it. Good for the parent that's doing their "due dilligence" and saying no to one of 200 spots in the GTHL at this level.

Don’t say you weren’t warned. And yes most people would choose a strong AA team over a terrible AAA team. But at least you get to wear a AAA hat to work right?

Completely inacurrate. Everyone chases the extra A.

Chemello is easily at top of this list - he would skate circles around all of them and it isn't even close.

Again, no one is staying away from any of these coaches. They offer you a spot, you will say yes. Let's be real here.
