Opening Week.
Thread started up for good dialogue. Let's keep the nasty stuff out.
Thoughts? Predictions? Questions?
My question is, will there be an East & West this year (like last year) or will all the teams just be lumped into 1?

Exciting third period between DMM vs ARD at Herb Carnegie. Worth watching the first 3 minutes of the 3rd period on LiveBarn (roughly 8:51 to 8:59pm).

Was it as good the last 3 minutes when #7 and #87 played the rest of the game???Guest wrote: ↑Mon Dec 16, 2024 10:29 pm Exciting third period between DMM vs ARD at Herb Carnegie. Worth watching the first 3 minutes of the 3rd period on LiveBarn (roughly 8:51 to 8:59pm).
How's it feel 2nd and 3rd line ARD parents? Had enough yet and finally want to go elsewhere to have your kid develop??
Paid coach needs the wins to make him and his skating school look good
Go elsewhere and have your kids develop. It's A hockey. Pathetic coaching. Keep chasing those wins coach

TA’s string of consecutive losing seasons must be a result of its perfect balancing of lines, especially in the dying minutes of tie games! TA Dad loves to comment on all ARD results
… losses, ties, wins by too much, or wins by too little…. Even the quality of their tournaments

Nice deflection first line ARD dad, or gg paid coach. 100% wrong with most rep A hockey , particularly 12 yr olds.Guest wrote: ↑Tue Dec 17, 2024 8:05 am It’s rep hockey. Nothing wrong with what ARD is doing.
Let's ask your parent group!! Lol
Hope those other ARD parents know how you feel. Going to cost you in playoffs with no depth.
And Ard 2/3rd line parents, your kid deserves to play. Plenty of other good teams without narcissistic me first, win at all costs adults before development. Well done!
Coach wants that first place trophy for his website!!
Get a grip, everything wrong what's going on over there.

Re: 2012 GTHL 'A' DIVISION
The problem with ARD Dad is that he blames everything on TA Dad. There likely isn't even a TA Dad. ARD is easy to hate. They play a garbage brand of hockey that hinders the other 15 or so kids on the team, a brand that will no doubt catch up to them as the season goes on, and they have done nothing to discipline the one player who is the dirtiest player in the loop.Guest wrote: ↑Tue Dec 17, 2024 9:23 amGuest wrote: ↑Tue Dec 17, 2024 8:05 am It’s rep hockey.

No, there is no TA Dad, its everyone.

its totally lame, especially when you consider that ARD is at the top of the standings.Guest wrote: ↑Tue Dec 17, 2024 8:05 am It’s rep hockey. Nothing wrong with what ARD is doing.
give the players on your team the chance to learn how to play in those situations.
ARD is obviously doing very well this year, the extra point really won't matter. it's rep hockey for 12 years olds at the A level, its not AAA...focus on the growth opportunity given the broader context. i'd be embarrassed as a parent if that was my kid's coach - no long-term, whole-team thinking there.
by the end of the season, teams will figure out how to limit the impact of 7 and 87...but the rest of the team won't be able to carry the Ducks because they haven't been given the chance to learn how.

Re: 2012 GTHL 'A' DIVISION
I think most teams by now know how to beat ARD. The lesser teams will still struggle. The better teams will either begin countering it now, or saving their strategies for the playoffs.Guest wrote: ↑Tue Dec 17, 2024 10:51 amits totally lame, especially when you consider that ARD is at the top of the standings.Guest wrote: ↑Tue Dec 17, 2024 8:05 am It’s rep hockey.
