All kids typically get an opportunity to perform, some just do it better than others hence they get more ice time.Guest wrote: ↑Fri May 16, 2025 10:06 amYou 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.

#1 Problem 2025-2026 AA U11
2025 - “MNS only added kids from AA. They won’t compete with FT, MB, VP.”
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.
Also there are kids who get far more ice away from their own team and stranglely enough they regress. All those extras and time spent on ice doesn't always transfer into positive results.
Spending all sorts of $ from ages 8 to 12 burning out your child is a brilliant plan! Go nuts! Very few percentage wise will benefit from all the extras. There is more than enough ice between these ages with practice and games to get better and keep it fun. You don't even know what the kid will have until puberty hits.
Don't even get me started on the kids at this age going to a hockey school all day on ice everyday sometimes twice with their team.and school. Give your heads a shake please.
Some will get better that are not as good now yes but oh well that's life. Will they be Mcdavids? Gamechangers? Very slim odds so cutting them now isn't all that worrisome to a coach. They'll develope the kids that are already better as they go.

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.

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.
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.
but this AAA talent talk that has been had for the last 20++ pages
is embarrassing in so many ways
first is your team so weak that your begging AAA dropouts to come and save you?
and then bragging to the world that your kids couldn't cut it but
little johnny going 0-33 last year and losing some tournament games by >20 goals
is gonna deliver the goods
Have some pride man

The few kids that he could pull are staying put in AAA for now. They'll all come down eventually and if they return to him he could have a good team. But now, nothing.

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

Re: 2015 AA
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.Guest wrote: ↑Fri May 16, 2025 11:01 pmSome of these are so obviously wrong.Guest wrote: ↑Fri May 16, 2025 3:42 pmYou may want to revisit these.

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.

Defence is by far and away the most important part of any team and especially at this age. Taking care of your own end is vital to any teams success, limiting scoring opportunities etc. While goalteanding is vital, VP showed that if you limit chances then it doesn't matter who's in net.
