Guest wrote: ↑Sun Jun 01, 2025 1:30 pm The GTA Prospects team had an early exit, falling apart in the semifinals. Prospects West secured a big win, thanks in part to Grinwis. DMF is definitely poised to make the top 8 and will beat VK in the first round of the playoffs—book it.

Majors dead last this year. Double AA kids swapped out for single A kids. What’s a parent coach of a AA team doing trying to teach at this age and level.

New rankings from the insider:

VK
TM

JrC
NYR
TYN
TT

SENS
DMF

TRW
MM
REBS
REPS

rebs will make playoffs for sure, probably better than tt. where is nyr ranked so high? they play anything together yet? just because a couple kids drop down, mk dropped down now he's stuck on tt...

MK jumped over to jrc

How dumb are the TRW parents paying $4000 for Canlan spring

We've already done three spring tournaments, including Nashville, and this one is by far the best value. The cost is $500 USD, and the kids receive a free CCM stick, training gear, hoodie, plus Howies tape and accessories—all included. Exceptional coaches, top-tier facilities, and scouts will be in attendance. If you didn’t get an invite, don’t be sour—just stay curious about what makes this event stand out.

The AAA tryout window has been closed for 33 days, and you've already done three spring tournaments? Congratulations, you're an idiot, satisfying your own F.O.M.O at the expense of your son's long term health and development. No meaningful rest after a long season is not making him better, nor is U15 spring hockey getting him one inch closer to being drafted in U16. If he's already good enough to be one of the 300 kids drafted after U16, see previous comment regarding your own F.O.M.O.

It's pretty obvious with some kids now that I've watched over the 2 months that they're playing too much hockey. These are kids especially on the top 3 teams that I know don't play other sports. It's too much hockey and those parents are simply lost. Sadly will continue to regress into U16.

It’s only May! My kid will be playing his last of 5 tournaments this weekend. He had an early playoff exit and he wanted to get some more games in. Now he will have June and July to play golf, workout and be a kid. Back on the ice in August.
Worry about your own kid.

Guest wrote: ↑Tue May 13, 2025 8:13 am Putting aside the personal nature of the comment above, there are a couple of things that I think are fair to discuss.

There seems to be a significant disconnect between the number of Asian born players that are dominant/very good at the younger ages - particularly pre-puberty ages U13-U15 relative to the number of impactful players in the OHL/OJHL/NCAA etc once the growth curve evens out. Obviously there’s a lot of speculation as to why that is, my kid would look really dominant playing against kids 1-2 years younger too.

In terms of girls playing with boys. I think it’s fine at younger ages for the girls that are clearly ahead of their female peer group. Women/Girl’s hockey has come a long way in the last 5+ years. Once you get to hitting (U14) the girls should cycle back to girl’s hockey as the quality of competition typically has caught up by that point as again the girls are mostly post puberty at that point. Girls playing with boys with hitting is an accident waiting to happen for obvious reasons.

Keeping the girl on the Nats in U15 is stupid on all the adults part

She’s the exception

Team full of asians, and a girl, who’s an asian. Not saying they can’t play, just saying it’s different.

How does a coach keep a female player at u15? More importantly how do other parents allow their kids to play for a coach who allows and female player, and is a parent coach.
