Because the coaching here in Oakville at certain age groups is equal in quality to a volunteer dad running a house league select team. Age groups like 08/09/11/12 have solid benches.......you fill n the blanks. The 3 Oakville kids on the Sens left because it was hands down the best thing to do for their development. Same as the dozen other boys who have left over the last few years.

Does Oakville provide release easily at U10? or you have to fake address and put your kid in private school ( which is a LOT of hassle)

Agreed, right now it's the Oakville boys that are ranked higher than the imports. EB and CC. EH is a solid import and he will be drafted high as well.
OR will see 5 Forwards, 4 D drafted.
