MNS

#1 Problem 2025-2026 AA U11

I’m really interested in seeing who you added that’s making you so confident, far as we can tell the other teams loaded up on AAA kids and you think you’ll win it with Streetsville crew that couldn’t do a thing last year.

2024 - “MNS will be a bottom team, part of the trio of tragedy … all their kids came from Appledale”

2025 - “MNS only added kids from AA. They won’t compete with FT, MB, VP.”

Won 1 stupid spring tournament and you think the next season is spoken for?

The moron is back!

Hey dipshit MNS won the regular season championship last year after they were expected to be awful as per some in this forum.

The recent spring win has nothing to do with what's going to happen next year but mark my words when whatever team your kid plays for, be prepared for a drubbing.

You may end up being right about that because you have a coach who wants to win and who has very big ambitions about heading a 2015 AAA team. As you well know, he had an offer this year and passed because he is smart enough to go in when the time is right and he can get in on a good team rather than a bottom one. But this also means that he wasn't willing to stick by committed kids as they continued to develop. His instinct and drive to win meant he gave them maybe half a season in U10 before they sat on the bench waiting out the rest. Is it good for winning? Well, yes they clearly accomplished a lot. Is it good for the kids? He may just have lost a few who end up surprising in a couple of years.

HVS - played in a spring tournament and seemed good with some new kids. Good organization.

FT - AAA calibre talent added to an already sturdy lineup based on what ive heard. definitily can unseat VP with good focus.



Big Gap



MNS - overperformed last year but 19 still there from wjat i have heard and probably still fine even if they lost the disney on ice kid. Very loud bunch.

MB - Solid and play system and good organization with new kids who are good.


Gap


DD - chico will have strong players from schools.

VR - hard skating group. Good people.

HVS - played in a spring tournament and seemed good with some new kids. Good organization.

WML - good coach with returners and probably upgrades who will solve scoring problems.

TE - FT took the really tall kid which hurts but still competitive grouping of kids.

ST - they have some strong players. Some additions who will surprise.


MT - they may surprise. Probably improved given positive games at end of the year. Coach seems to take recruiting intensely.

TW - No idea. Assume same team without the one star skater on forward position. Not that bad.

MJ - Good coach given circumstances last year. A bunch that you want to see do well.

TA - i don’t know where these kids are from so i will rank here until more clear. They struggled against FT MB and MNS in a tournament deeply. Only spring so you cannot over read too far. They will win some games.

Some of ya'll will just say anything here.

What AAA calibre talent did FT add? Because there were none at the tourney this month.

Names and numbers or stop repeating this daydream.

VR will be well ahead of MB.

You may want to revisit these. Per ChatGPT:

“A serial forecasting error refers to a pattern of repeated and systematic errors in a forecast over time. Rather than being random, the errors follow a trend, suggesting something is wrong with the forecasting model or its assumptions.”

Some of these are so obviously wrong.

VP, okay will give this one more or less your right
FT did not add any AAA talent, they added a lot of big kids so they might benefit from size but their goalie will have to save them too many times
MNS I don't know why people still talk about last year, they have 6 new players this is a very different team, who knows how that will work out
MB has nothing after 11 left and parent group was unwelcoming at skates unless you were from AAA
DD plays Chico's system and yeah it's Chico but there is good discipline no way they end up 5th maybe 7-8
VR should be higher they are similar to VP very well rounded just maybe a bit below that level, at least as good as MB
WML is very interesting does anyone know if the Toros kids who went there got cut or left, a bit odd if cut as they are good
HVS is bad unless they pull another goalie miracle out of a hat, they are okay positionally but the skill level isn't there
TE will end up mid-table, boring team with mid coaching
ST got cleaned out by MNS whoever they found won't be on level of what they lost
MT good coaching and a big part of roster is out of borders will be a surprise to all of us as the kids are unknowns, could be good or real bad
TW has nothing left that's good, the under agers went to play with the '16s this is a bottom team, bet
MJ and TA don't know anybody who went to a skate there which probably isn't good news

When it comes to future league standings, the goalie is the most decisive player on the team—and FT has a major advantage in that area. MNS and MB also had solid goaltending last season, but something changed for both.

Overall, the skill level among kids in FT, VP, MNS, MB, and VR is quite comparable. While all other teams rosters are much weaker. What makes the difference is goaltending and, more importantly, the coach’s philosophy, tactical knowledge, and ability to build a cohesive system. Teams led by coaches who run a short bench and rely on structured systems will generally finish higher in the standings.compared to those who, at this age, focus more on individual skill development and take a more long-term approach.

However, if you’re thinking long-term about your child’s development in hockey, short-term wins don’t matter much. Winning because of a goalie or because the coach overuses the first line, while another team rolls all lines equally, doesn’t make a real difference in your kid’s actual skill growth.
