Guest wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2024 2:53 pm The board is lazy and doesn’t know how to hold on to the kids that actually want to play in APR. So many coaches that should not be there. The board should do their job and really look into why so many kids are leaving? I’ll tell you why. Clueless coaches that can’t coach and taking the word of the “toxic parents.” How about you stop focusing on recruiting from everywhere else and focus on home! Your out of town recruitments will never stay. Pretty sad when most of your older age rosters dont even live here.

I will never understand why coaches don't pick and boards don't encourage coaches to pick kids of the community. You want kids from the same schools, same network, same baseball team ... this will ultimately in future years be your best selling job to bring the best kids of the community to your team. Kids want to play with their friends and by 14 or so, this is the most important part of hockey .. the winning will follow.

You want a coach to do all the work of coaching, but not pick the team hes going to be ultimately responsible for - and therefore determining if he will ever coach again?

Wild take.

Tell me you've never played high level team sports in your life, without telling me.

The problem isn’t the recruitment towards the end years, it’s the development plan year after year at the younger ages. Many organizations including APR don’t seem to care about retaining and developing their local players throughout the years. I don’t mean picking them for the highest team, but finding good coaches, supporting those coaches, promoting them to help one another and utilizing players as an AP when teams are short.

When it gets to the older years, the lack of development and retention shows as the only way to stay competitive is to fill your roster with imports that change over every year if the program isn't very good.

Tell us your kid is not good enough, without telling us. Your full of ideas you should write a book

It's a good thing ajax took a back seat because using Pickering programs 35% of teams advanced to the omha weekend, whitby had 38%. Ajax had no Development programs and while I was loyal to Ajax I can see the grass was greener. One more fun fact Ajax had 9 rep teams left prior to amalgamation forcing my A team to play AA, while Pickering had 19 teams. Ajax was on tilt. The association was destroyed during the poor coach selection process and lack of development.

Pretty harsh words for AMHA. I am counting 6 teams across the APR Association getting to the OMHA Finals. We will see how many actually come home with championships. Yes, more teams with an amalgamation in APR, however, not seeing hockey participation rise within Ajax and teams as strong as they were when Ajax had the Knights.

Board at APR is a bunch crooks. They let a Neanderthal destroy U16 AAA and stood by his side until parent and OMHA complaints finally got his a$$ fired. It took several months. They had even appointed this coach to another team for the upcoming season but were forced to ditch him. Leo is the most crooked one on the board who stood by his buddy.

Oh no not again, the last time somone posted a name and made false posts they went after them legally and won.. I suggest you find a way to delete this before they see it or write an apology and hope. They are relentless with protecting employees. Don't believe me look into it.

not sure how they can come after someone on an anonymous chat board. People have shit talked about them non-stop here. That was about as tame as is gets.

Also, if you are worried they can somehow track you, who isn't using a VPN these days? Silly.

I think this is a battle about GTHL vs. OMHA that goes on in Ajax rather than AMHA vs. APR. People bicker in Ajax because they cannot get on a GTHL team. Parents know the G is the superior value but are forced to play OMHA.

Were the AMHA teams in their day any better than APR? Did not see many drafted from that organization.
