There is no way, deal with it, move on

Yup it’s not easy but nothing you can do. Just get with the program or be left on a bottom team because you waited for official tryouts.

Hate to break it to you but it's likely all the moving around has contributed to the lack of good hockey in this division...there are 4 teams out of 14 that have won more than 50% of their games...i am not mathematician but that means 70% of the teams in this division are not good teams..so you tell me how the 'program' is working out for these kids...

Good thing you’re not a mathematician because you would suck at it LOL. there is absolutely no correlation between player turnover over and team performance. MB has been replacing half of their players each year and look at where they are.

MB have had the luxury of being the top team since U10. Therefore have been able to recruit the best AA and AAA players who have dropped down to chase championships.

To say they develop their own players is somewhat of an exaggeration.

Agree! Which ever team did well in the 1st year of the G were able to attract good players. If DD came 1st overall in U10, they would be the top team right now. Not trying to take away from the coaches all around this loop. Just saying that its easy to win when you have skilled players on your team from the start.

Top to bottom chances to win west:

MB - small and shifty forwards with good d and goaltending

VP - beat every team they should’ve. Defense makes this team go with 2 solid players back there

HV - one shifty F up front and good goaltending

GTC - flip a coin, beat VP, tied MB lost to WML and ST

MT - grinders more than skill. Effort seems to be there. Great goalie tandem

MR - top heavy on Fs and D is average. Goalie is good

FT - big team that can make noise in playoffs

VR - sometimes can score, sometimes can’t stop puck

TE - D is solid and capitalize offensively just enough to grind out close games

Everyone else - good luck in the prelims.

It would be great to see another 'Cinderella' run from a team in the prelims or last year's Cinderella finish the job this year! And no, I'm not HV dad...just a parent in this loop who is looking forward to the playoffs - best time of year for the kids.

Too bad, not happening. This is a MB vs VP race. The rest of the teams are lucky to be in playoffs. Just have fun with it.
