Minor Hockey Talks - Hockey Forum

FACTS - by U18, 97% of the kids in U14/15 AAA that everyone is talking about will be playing U18 AAA hockey or have quit altogether, and if they are playing half their teammates will be made up of kids who at the moment, are playing AA and enjoying the game without all this nonsense and also paying 1/3 of the cost (think of the ROI on that!) - and many of them will be better than the kids playing AAA now. Just look at how many kids in '08 today have played >10 games in the OHL - a small handful. If you play between 16 and 20 (AAA or above), you've done well in hockey and have not even made a dime playing. Enjoy the ride; it ends, and when it's over, you'll need to find another thing to be petty about. Maybe the ASHL has an equivalent "beerleaguehockeytalks" site???

Nobody cares and they deserve to be $hit for what they did this year. Taking $$ for AA kids is wrong in many ways.
