How about letting the kids be kids, develop as they may and not making assumptions about who can play where? Who cares? Perhaps they want to play at home, with friends they have made over the years and don't care if the team is top 10? Is it possible both parents work and can't drive to the G for a 5pm practice 3-4x a week? Get a life, most kids in AAA are going nowhere; a very small percentage get drafted or go the NCAA route. They play because they love the game and love the competition, not to make mommy and daddy feel good about telling coworkers "my son plays AAA".

Now you’re making excuses for why your kid just isn’t that good

Wanted to see what was up with the old organization, open boarders now etc. and happen to come across delusional Hamiltonians from all age groups which is unfortunate. So why don't YOU enjoy your last few years of AAA hockey. Oh and just a heads up, the scouts if they show up at all watch the kids also watch the parents in the crowd. I only see red flags based on these posts in this thread. Not looking good for Hamilton Hockey I guess! Good luck!
