Serious question.
Who's the coach we should most stay away from?
Stay Away
A. Esmatyar
E. Cella
R. Edwards
J. Farrone
M. Lamanchia
Any who should we gravitate to?
M. Chemello
J. Dynak
J. Venuto
R. Edwards
On this list Ammal Esmatyar is the absolute worst person and everything that’s wrong with minor hockey.
He’s a known nightmare through various age groups. I’m surprised this guy is allowed to be around kids. Just goes to show you how desperate parents can be to get on any AAA team. Ammal attracts a certain kind of parent.
At the other end of the spectrum is Chemello who is a stand up person.
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.
All well and good but if you're desperate for a spot, it won't make a difference. At the sat skate lots of kids on current AAA teams that are not asking them back. They'll anything vs. going to AA.
$12K + budget next season, add in extra travel costs and your in for $14+K . OMHA family’s paid $5,500 on average. U11 hockey! LMFAO.

What about A.Lomanaco? Heard mixed reviews.
Anyone on here making such strong comments about someone is clearly butthurt that their kid got cut, kid didn't get minutes or whatever grievance is out there. Want real info talk to parents on teams not randoms on a chat.

To go 0-32-1
Mid to end of March reality will set in with many of the OMHA families that have committed to play on a bottom 4 G team, and like always, will be decommitting! Happens all the time and usually related to finances, but the usual excuse is logistics! Even with the open borders and no fake address's required anymore, mid to end of March, there will be spots opening up. By then, coaches will be filling spots with the leftovers, to the highest bidders. Happens every year, in every age group in the G.

were all dying to know who is it ?
Suddenly TRW is being pumped up and MM are being trashed. Just figure out who’s been cut from MM and is going to TRW.
