Yes - look at the rangers and Lorne park. Kids have developed significantly since the start of the year.

Sure can. Kids have to want to vet better and pay attention and listen. 4-5 kids moving on to AA from our team.

If they are going to one of the bottom teams they weren’t developed into AA players. Those teams are just swapping A players for other players who should stay in A. It’s dumb parents who push their kids beyond their capability.

That’s not accurate - there is definitely 1 kid on each A team that should be on a AA team but didn’t make it for whatever reason or didn’t try out. There are definitely a bunch of AA kids that are playing AA because parents are pushing it but should be playing at the A level.

If a AA coach is picking up A level kids I hope they actually watched the kid play in person, many kids look great in practice then in games the way they actually play is evident.
