However, taller players might also face challenges in terms of agility and speed compared to shorter players. We call those tall ones DefencemanGuest wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2024 11:45 pmFinally, someone here who can think straight. Thank you.Guest wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2024 11:42 pmEveryone settle down. It’s too early for our kids. There are kids in this age group who are above average but when you look at parents you pretty much know kid is about to stop growing and vice versa where kids are small but parents are tall and the kids haven’t grown yet Enjoy the ride as all our kids are playing in a great aaa league against a lot of great players.Guest wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2024 11:21 pmYou’re splitting hairs here - they’re all between 5-10 and 6 + feet. Size matters. Rarely do kids under 5’10” get drafted. If you’re a Smurf superstar today at 12, you have to grow or beat the odds to be drafted in 4 years from now. Simple math.Guest wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2024 10:43 pmHe is not wrong… 9 I counted. I think the big dad’s with kids that are slugs should be worried. Nothing is more insufferable than a big kids dad who is horrible, thinking he should play in front of a smaller d that is way better. Yelling “we gotta go with size here!” From the stands. Luckily my kid has both!

Go bang your wife before someone else looks after her properly.Guest wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2024 2:32 pmThis whole size over speed/skill thing is nonsense. The top teams are trying to combine size with speed and skill that is why they are the top teams. A bunch of slow and big kids is nonsensical, and eventually a bunch of tiny little kids who have speed and skill will get overpowered. Trying to find the right balance is the key.
It's just a dumb comment to say one or the other.

My wife has hit the proverbial “wall”. She only cares about upgrading our house, posting pictures of her wasting all my money and talking shit about other parents and kids. She get’s the most upset when our Johnny get’s skipped over for powerplay. I tried to get “JIGGY WITH IT” last week and she shot me a look. “YOUR SEED CREATED A 3RD LINER, SO THATS A NO FOR ME!”

Falsely claiming that someone is dead. Why you so obsessed is the real question. Butt hurt from getting cut? I think so. Get your sad ass over to AA and shut your mouth on this page.Guest wrote: ↑Sat Apr 13, 2024 11:40 amSo true, and who's the guy that sounds like he never had fun in high school and is still chasing tail WOW GROW UP

Over 90% of the kids drafted into the OHL will never play a game at that level. And of the 10% that do, less that a handful of those will make the jump to the AHL or NHL level. Of the 90% that are drafted and don’t make the OHL roster, 20% will play Jr A and be beer league players 3 years later. REAL development doesn’t start until they’re 17/18 years old. And although size is often a factor, it means little without having ALL the other fundamental skills.Guest wrote: ↑Sat Apr 13, 2024 11:40 amSo true, and who's the guy that sounds like he never had fun in high school and is still chasing tail WOW GROW UP
