The GTHL is the best league in the world. Toxic it might be, but still the best.

Success would come from the best coaching paired with solid AAA-caliber players. London has good AAA players. Why no championships? Beating sh*t teams like CK LJS WS CH means nothing. EMC can win because they have good coaching AND good players. There is a difference between coaching junior hockey where players already know how to play the game vs younger kids who need a good coach to teach them. Why is JRC so good? Just because they have good players? No. They have good coaching.

I have several friends that Coach in the GTHL and there are very few parents in the Alliance that would be willing to pay what their Coaches charge for their Seasons. For most of them Coaching is their full time job. They Coach and they run off season Clinics where people pay trying to get their kids on those teams. Very typical for a GTHL AAA Coach that does Clinics to make 175 - 250 G a year and a large portion of that Cash! Thats the reality! Alliance Coach outside of U16 maybe expenses and a couple Grand. Get what you pay for.

So if you're so dense as to pick and overpriced hyped program over a good hockey program, well you know what they say, a fool and his money. Oh and no one here is playing AAA cause mommy and daddy make a huge donation? LOL funny.

Open borders has nothing to do with paying coaches or cashing in. You can have open borders without the dumbness of paying this kind of money to play. Since you have the communist mentality and rules so much, open boarders, salary capped coaches.

Open borders leads to stacked teams
Stacked teams will attract people willing to pay big money
Other teams will then be willing to pay coaches to help stack their team to keep up.., and so and so on…
This leads to skyrocketing costs especially when the ultra rich get involved.
Its not an academic endeavor
Look to the gthl for your proof.
Rich people have found hockey and they realize their money can make their small untalented kid competitive with naturally talented kids.

BS. Loss of control and fear.

Absolutely right
loss of control by the community that the arena operates in and by the people that volunteer and operate much more than just hockey in these facilities.
Fear of corrupt individuals with purely selfish motives running teams soley for the purpose of profit
Fear of talented kids missing out on opportunities due to finances and politics.
Open border advocates are so transparent its not funny. They do not care about anyone or anything other than their own kid - this is why volunteer positions will disappear under this regime.

TO is going to play for Detroit Little Caesars.

MD leaving will definitely be a massive hole, just like when the 2011 team doesn't have TO.
