A new place to talk about minor hockey in North America & Around the World. Jump in to the Minor Hockey Talk forum and discuss everything about Hockey in Canada & Hockey in the USA
Who is going there that is better? There is a reason he is the star player for Everest against the best of the best. Even when CM is on the same team, CL consistently has more points and is the first line centre at every tournament… hates gonna hate. Best player on the best team.
Okay Dad... Everyone is tired of you continuing to self promote your kid on this site. We played against JRC and CL wasn't even top 3 on his team. He was continuously getting knocked off the puck.
He has more talent, thats a fact. Not even my kid. Saying they are brining in 4 kids that are better than him is the BS.
CL daddy sees the end is in sight so he desperately promotes his kid on here. Everyone can see MA is CLEARLY the best JRC forward and CL is not even close to CM. CL fading fast.
CL will be paying to watch CM and MA play hockey one day.
U14 is going to be a rude awakening for many. It’s going to be a physically challenging game for a lot of kids in this age group. Not just because of size. Speed, compete, strength, etc. some so called stars are just not going to want to play anymore. Some of you dads reposting the same names over and over aren’t watching what’s happening already…
A lot of dads in hockey are just stupid. A lot don’t understand the laws of physics or the game. Just because a player is big, doesn’t mean he’s going to destroy smaller faster kids. Smaller and faster kids have an advantage in that they can generate a lot of momentum vs bigger slower players for hitting and have better agility to both catch and hit and get out of hits. Lots of big players that will do well but don’t discount kids because of their size
Why doesn’t it work like that in the nhl? The laws of physics do t apply?
The small guys are done,

A lot of the best players in the nhl are 5’11”-6’. Do your research. They tend to be below the average height of the nhl.

I think you are way off. There are 12 teams, so call it 192 ish players that get the privilege to play in this league .
There are only a handful of players parents that have any bargaining power because of how talented their kid is. The coaches are mostly qualified, especially at this age group. I have kids +cousins at multiple age groups and levels and the 2012 age group has by far deepest pool of top end coaches and skills trainers.
There is never a perfect scenario, but the most important part of this hockey experience is finding a coach that your kid will learn from and be motivated to work hard and build the mentality of an athlete.
Are they good to the kids? Do they show up on time? do they put an effort into teaching them hockey in a fun but hard working environment? Are they encouraging? These are the questions that matter.
You can tell a lot by a coach in how the kids react when they see them at the rink, are they excited to see him or are they scared?
Everyone expects coaches to be perfect people, but this is a low paying job, with a lot of stress and responsibility. No matter what decision they make, atleast half the team thinks their kid is getting screwed and will come on a forum to bad mouth them.
Ok Coach. You are wrong, many teams have exactly as that guy described with all the questions put forth and is super accurate and to say that those questions are irrelevant/wrong just shows your level of thinking and it's sadly very poor. Great questions and It is a big problem and certainly not WAY off as you described it. It's not a privilege the kids earned are good enough and pay for the experience. The league wouldn't exist if that wasn't the case. Coaches have a part time gig for 5 months and get 40K that's way above the national average for FULL time employees and the coaching gig is a Part Time job. Give your head a shake and leave to the thinking to others that are capable.

Sounds like you should apply for a job!
Sounds like you are retarded. Why would someone who is paying for the service apply for the job to perform the service? You completely missed the point and are being dismissive of the validity of the points. Dumbass

you are paying to join an exclusive club. you keep asking what the coaches are going to going to do for you, but thats incorrect. It is "what is your son doing for the team"
You are a parent with perceived importance, but everyone rolls their eyes when they hear you speak. Only a few parents have the background and talented kid to throw their opinion in. The rest are replaceable and parents with big loud opinions get tossed to the curb.

WOW those last two comments I read hear explains exactly the attitude that has fostered such a disaster of a league and culture. You think wrong and settle for mediocre and that's exactly what is wrong. I think the parent who wrote that stuff above your last two statements is dead on and it's mind blowing that you would say anything different. "exclusive club" doesn't make up for the lack of everything us, I think your IQ hovers around room temperature.
