AAA wrote: ↑Tue May 16, 2023 9:53 pm Let's put together the roster for the top 2011 team in Ontario.

I bet this team would beat any American team in a best of 7 series.

9 Forwards
6 Defence
2 Goalies

Let's see what the board thinks.

I would like to see these two teams play each other:

Team vs Team Selfish...

Team (well rounded kids, generally good attitudes, focus on playing for the team):
GF (2010 TT) - Great hockey mind, can be selfish but still values what the coach asks for.
BG (JRC) - Big smart hockey player. Underrated and very team oriented.
TL (TM) - Maybe the smartest hockey player in the age group. Parlay that with his talent and team first mind set and attitude.
BG (QRD) - Smart, big, strong and can score or set up.
TO (EMC) - Kid can just score. Watched him make plays and set up plays. Will take him on my team anytime.
MH (TM) - There is a reason why the TM won. This kid is smart, shifty and has incredible ice vision.
JS (DMF now TM) - BIG and STRONG. Kid is fast, smart and his teammates love him.
EA (VK) - Just gets it done. Great vision and can bury or set up.
NH (QRD) - Hard working, smart, great shot and great vision. Kind as they get until on the ice then will do what he has to.

Team Selfish (incredibly talented kids, poor attitudes, focus on themselves) :
MG (JRC) - Pure goal scorer. No interest in the back check or his teammates. Terrible emotions.
JM (JRC) - Absolute beast. Sometimes forgets he has teammates on the ice. Great kid and great family.
RH (NYR) - Only cares about one thing. Himself.
LM (VK) - King of the age group at present. Unfortunately, always wants to do it himself and usually does. Great family.
TL (VK) - The floater. If he wanted to, he could be the best in the lot but only skates one way, generally.
GR (VK) - The most selfish kid in the group. Incredible talents but hates when others have success.
NL (HH now vacant) - We all know Nico. If he was steered in the right direction and taught to play as a team player, nobody could compete with him.
SP (2010 TT) - When dad is banging on the glass saying "do something", not sure the kid ever stood a chance. Could be great.
BD (Former JRC) - Great talent but just had his dad over his head.

Honorable mention for team selfish:

KO (JRC) - The single most selfish person I have ever met. BC created a monster. Incredibly talented.
CZ (JRC) - Coaching failed him as well.


Below would be my D.

Defence:
GZ (TM) - Best D in the age group. Smart, strong, fast and a great kid with a great family.
JW (2010 JRC) - No denying his talent even if he is a 2009. Really became a team player last year.
JW (JRC) - Genetic gifts and that shot make him hard to ever pass up. Would be nice if he hit the net more.
BD (STA) - Kind of an unknown but a big strong D kid. Looks like VK and JRC are after him so you will get to see more of him soon.
CC (HH) - A bit of a wild card. Played with and against him and is just a solid D.
HG (QRD) - Very under rated and one of the best board playing D in the age group. Smart and a hard worker.

Below would be my goalies.

BF (2010 JRC) - best positional goalie in the loop. Starting to see some gaps but still ahead of the rest at present.
LH (NYR) - Dad is over the top but they made a good choice keeping him in a place where he see's lots of shots. Big jump last year.

This ought to upset some of the trolls.

BD is not good enough to fit in on this team. If he had real talent he wouldn’t have been washed out of the league after only one year. Don’t forget nobody took the kid. Has absolutely zero hockey IQ and his 4 goals for all of last season speaks for itself. Dad is an angry dwarf who just makes the family package that much less desirable.

Bang on for the others, maybe overrating NL talents a bit, the kid is fading and not the dominant player he was in the past. I assume this layoff will only hurt him more.

GREAT ANALYSIS OVERALL!

That kid is the opposite of fading or selfish. I got to see first hand how ridiculously good this kid is as a team player and how gifted he was offensively. The number of plays this kid setup was next level. His hockey IQ is definitely his gift. I didn’t agree how he left the HH team, or demanded more ice time, but dam, the short time I got to see him in our league - all I have to say is ridiculous. He single handily destroyed top teams. The only reason HH won a tournament was because of him. I imagine the same thing with LJK.

Go back to bed Bruno, nobody cares anymore about NL.

Pathetic when daddy writes a drunken rant on here trying to defend leaving multiple teams high and dry. Your kid isn’t as good as he used to be pal, and soon he’s gonna be shining the shoes of the top fwds listed here. Deal with it. NL is irrelevant.

Ironically the kids that are "peaking" have been the best kids in the loop since 6. You must be sweating, hoping and praying that your kid gets better. Keep telling yourself that he'll "peak" at 14.

Well we ALL know that is NOT TRUE. You must be new to the loop!

There are several names on these lists that have remained top players since tyke. There are also some new names that have recently excelled that were not around in tyke. There are also names that were on top in the early years and have dropped off completely. This trend will continue all the way through. Enjoy the ride.

Nobody on MHT is going to convince anyone else on here that they can tell the future so just stop trying. You don't have the secret formula to identify future great players. Shaddap!
