ok rebs dad. JRC and NYR I will give that they are a league above with NYR the clear outlier. TM, Rebs, Nats, VK and DMF are all in the same company so don't sit there and think you are a league above the rest.

No one says good things about any one else. If people are saying you are overated, not going to be good at u14, your coaching sucks, your kid is a going to be a brick bust, he is good now but wait till u16 etc,

it means that your kid is an impact player. They think he is a threat to their johnnies success and do not like that he takes away the spot light.

None of your opinions matter if you are in the stands. The top players and teams will continue to shine while you look for ways to knock their success. the stats do not lie, but your rose coloured glasses do!

100!

It amazes me the amount of BS that gets written here. A bunch of loser parents trying to stir the pot and hopeful their kid might get noticed. Such a joke.

Corrente for Prime Minister

Sure if you think having 11 year olds sniffing smelling salts before a game is a good idea

Do you guys just sit around making this s hit up? Are you inbred or what?

Every single dad on this page is inbred.

Who is NYR adding/ subtracting?

Well, because size is a lot easier to find than speed and skill. That's not controversial

This 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.

JH and DMF kid in
YK and JL out
BI in and JP leaving

They are trading small player for small player. The loss of JP hurts them

BI & JP are a wash. No loss there. BI is underated.

Agree. BI is excellent.

Some big kids now won’t grow much more. Some smaller skilled kids now will be big in a few years. Genetic lottery.

Because they are stupid and dumb dumbs. Here's an easy one for you. Who gets paid the most in hockey? Is it defensive players, big players, positionally sound players, body checkers, fighters or the talented most skilled offensive players? Now ask yourself why do you think that is? To win you need to score goals without it everything doesn't matter you're a loser and can't win. It fuels the team and winning the game is the objective any coach that doesn't view it like that RUN fast. Skill all day long. Why do you think coaches give those players letters on their jerseys and play the crap out of them because if they don't they leave and it's hard to replace. You think PS wants to lose CM? Now go down the list of teams they always cater to the top end talent unless they're stupid.
