And let’s be honest, we all know AAA tends to go for the tough, physical players. Those are the ones who seem to get picked, even by the lower tier teams.

There's not, pal. So many 07s are leaving the game, so there are lots of spots. Bigger is better, unless you are super skilled, but if you were, you'd be draft already. Have fun. Play hard. Enjoy the year.

Local Prep parents, how many times a week is your athlete on the ice a week excluding game?
how many times a week is your athlete on the in the gym during the week?

GTHL, practice twice a week and gym twice a week.

St Andrews prep routinely beat top JR B teams and other prep teams that would probably give a few OHL teams a run

Yeah, I totally agree, St Andrew’s is legit. Same with St No names’s and UCC. These are the real deal prep schools people actually recognize, not those thrown together hockey first schools with zero academics behind them.

St Andrew’s especially doesn’t just take anyone, they actually accept top tier students, and teams know that. It goes a long way when a player’s coming out of a respected program like that. You’re not just another name from a random hockey academy, you’re coming from a school with real structure, real standards, and serious rep.

Lmfao!!! Buddy, the money is what gets you in. You’re stupid if you think otherwise. Good players with big daddy wallets. A lot of those kids are real entitled shitheads.

But hockey is money: you need to pay to play. St. Andrews sets them up for an entitled future and what is wrong with it?

U18 AAA is a joke
