If your kid still hasn’t made a team try Rebels. Not sure how much they charge for skates but keep in mind paying for a skate doesn’t mean you are guaranteed a spot on a team. This is normal. The other thing is that you seem misinformed. Most teams including OMhA are pretty much set with maybe 1-2 spots remaining. Many kids don’t make AAA. You can play AA and try the following year. Don’t get so hung up on AAA. These kids have a lot of hockey to play still and many make the jump later.

I feel for this guy kid. The kid doesn’t have a chance in life and it’s a shame. I hate seeing parents get in the way of decent kids.

Let me school you. I start a hockey school. I find a mark and pay that mark say $50k to lease a team for a year. Then, I charge kids in my hockey school $60-$120 per skate, few times a week, telling them they are trying out for a G team, though this is violation of G rules. I make that $50k back in a month or less and then bank. Clear?

Agreed - you need to get out of your own kids way. At this rate the rebels won’t even take you.
