Parents kid don’t make the team they bash OHP. What OHP got to do with this. If OHP leases Reps that is a smart business move. OHP is growing and expanding and many feel threatened. OHP might have a Brick team soon. You jealous people need to relax. Your tiny twinkers have yet to play a single AAA game and you fools are tanking teams and then calling out OHP when your team is not ranked high.

OHP confirmed has a brick team. Source - trust me bro

OHP lady really losing her mind now.
BD will NEVER allow you to get a brick team. Keep dreaming C H E R Y

I don't understand why parents want to go OHP practice and tournaments. Waste money and time. There are way better options on market.

It’s free, my son is one of the elite 2016s so it’s an easy choice

There's no historical data to base this on. Teams that promote AAA training and mentality at a younger age which obviously will result in more skill at young ages. Whether or not your kids can stand the test of time is nowhere near proven. Half the 2015s will be burnt out in 2 years and they're already starting to fade. The skill gap closes. You can skate little Johnny 20 times a day but come u14 AAA (if he can hang on that long), that advantage will diminish and athleticism, IQ take over.

As a parent with older kids playing real AAA G hockey, I'll give you some advice, stay humble and don't be ignorant. Karma catches up.

I've been at this age group multiple times. Kids who are on the ice the most, have access to quality training and work hard move ahead very quickly. Puberty changes everything. Athleticism doesn't always translate at older ages. No one has hit a real growth spurt at this age. I've seen "athletic" kids quickly get bypassed by 12.

Also, size difference is a non issue at 7-8. Yes there will be bigger, smaller kids at the age but it's not exposed like it will be soon. The size gap only increases in the years to come, especially with contact.

IQ at 7-8 is not real IQ. Hockey doesn't resemble real hockey at this age. You can think it does but it simply isn't. The plays are not advanced enough and you have tons of time to make decisions vs even 3 years from now. Again, stay humble as the rankings do change. I do hope your kids stays at the top but historically, the top kids rarely stay at the top throughout. Pace your kid. Literally no one remembers or cares who was the top dog at this age. It's irrelevant. May not seem like it because you're in it right now but you'll look back down the road and understand.

Enjoy the ride. It's fun and you'll look back and miss these days. Burnout is real, requirement for high level hockey is real, puberty and body contact are real. This is diaper hockey boys

Genuine question from someone who hasn’t been through it. My kid will be playing AAA next year. He’s on the ice a lot, but needs to be to keep developing and keeping up with the kids around him who are also on a ton. How do you keep developing them if they’re not on the ice a few times per week, but also avoiding the burnout you mentioned?
