1st Titans
- Has 3 legit centermen (1 is the leagues best) complimented by a very skilled forward group top to bottom.
- Goalies. Best Goalie in HEO 2009 group moved into the area in the off season.
- D. Top 3 are very skilled 2-way players. Bottom 3 are reliable. 2 of the 6 are extremely physical.
- Team Unity. From the Locker room to the parents. Very tight group. (evidence: parking lot parties and Hotel lobbies)

2nd Myers
- Will challenge the Titans for first place despite best player leaving for the G. Every line is talented. The depth of this team is its superpower.
- Very tactical D. Good skaters who execute simple but accurate breakouts. Not physical but doesn't need to be.
- Goalies pretty solid pair that can steal a game or 2 without question.
-Coaching. Reportedly no nonsense and cannot be manipulated by a notorious parent group.

3rd EO Wild
- Arguably their best player left for the GTHL. Consensus is that it won't matter as it improves team unity.
- The "Other" best Goalie in the 2009 HEO age group is on this team. Excellent if he can finish a game. Goalie 2 is reliable.
- Downside - Parents should turn against one another sometime around Christmas. Team Performance will fall off shortly thereafter.
- Toughness. A personal opinion - but this team looks gritty. Can grind out wins playing traditional bang bang hockey.

Bottom Feeders.
-UCC vs. 67's. It will be a race to 4th place.
-67's have a new look and a lot of combine players motivated to prove to the team they were cut from that it was a mistake. Fair assessment, they might catch the other 4 teams by surprise and pull in a few W's. Goalies are a question mark.
-Cyclones have some absolute brut players that seemingly play with intent to injure. If not constantly suspended, will command respect and caution from opposing players. Good goalies. Probably the smoothest D-man in the game but very undersized. Forwards can score but can get greedy.

Titans/Myers will crack top 10 in province.

I agree with most except I think you have the parent groups of the Wild and Titans mixed up. It's no secret that Titans parents and even some of the kids on the team don't get along at all, there's some very bad blood there, could explode mid season.

I agree with most also. Titans top team but saying top goalie moved to area is underrated, he didn't do much last year. He will look good this year because of players in front of him. Myers also a top team in HEO this year. The lost BB will have other players step up but his scoring will be missed. EO Wild won't be too far with new additions and size from imports and new players. They lost TW but AC will pick up the slack this year. They looked good and big at combine vs Titans. We had a full roster and Wild held us. Cyclones will just lose games because of indiscipline (B.R) kid is a loose cannon so is his father that promotes to injure players. 67's yes lots of changes but loosing their #1 goalie will hurt them and they don't have enough fire power to compete. Their D core is too slow.

The Wild was dealt a bad hand last year, lost their first year coach who had them playing gritty hockey with structure and accountability... they lost him early in the season and it was a shit show after that, the 08 Wild coach came down to help them out but he was the complete opposite, no structure, no accountability, no discipline.

Wild finished 4th in their own league and 14th in Provincial rankings after finishing 3rd and almost cracking the top 10 in Provincial rankings in year 1.

AC91 will have his moments offensively but he has big disciplinary issues and defensive breakdowns.

Same with DM97, you'll never see the kid in the defensive zone...

If the Wild are to get back to challenging Titans and Myers and cracking the top 10 province, they will need their 200ft players like AM51, NM13, CG9, KF11 and CS77 to lead and show the way.

Hopefully the new coach (3rd in 3 years) instills structure and discipline and accountability they had in their 1st year. Otherwise it's just gonna be another year of individual stats and bad team results.

The stuff I hear from my boy playing against AC91 is unbelievable! This young man is so disrespectful and vulgar with other players on the ice.

Meanwhile on HEO 2009 the hot topic is kids using poopy language.

Outstanding!

I’ve read the other 2009 treads and it’s basically rich dads from gthl chasing the dream for their kids or bashing innocent kids online. Don’t get me wrong we have lots of those in HEO. keep
It up idiots. We can have conversations with naming kids.
