Lots of 08s heading to JR A prospect camps. Some might say these are a ripoff. The coaches have already reached out to kids they are interested in.

I don’t disagree. Majority of the kids should be. But that has nothing to do with the kids getting Top minutes on a team. It’s a cash grab and all interested rookies HAVE to go even if they already have a verbal commitment.
If you think Minor hockey was bad, get ready for the Jr sh*tshow.

Damn. What a burn!

Really early predictions for next season.

MW
NS
APR

Top 3 again. APR appeal falling off.

QRD should be much improved with 09s coming
BC will be competitive again
PP will once again hope for more Pete’s picks

Rest don’t matter

Small percent will play Jr A even less OHL. There’s always JR C for the boys that like the game but enjoy beer more.

MW are back to back champs and same coaching staff back next year. Them falling out of the top 3 would be suprising. Everyone wants to play for a “winner” at u18
