To be honest the coaching in this loop is nothing to be proud of. Explains why it’s weaker than the west.
A few families went to the west for better development.
Went to the west bc you couldn’t make an East team
This is true, know of at least one kid cut from my son’s team who is now in the west. Possibly two.
Kids move from East to West and vice versa for various reasons, it rarely has to do with the players ability. It's more about fit. The West is stronger if you look at the provincial rankings with 3 teams in the top 10 and 0 for the East. I don't believe an East team has won the AA GTHL championship in the 2012 AA loop. 2 different teams have in the West. Simple math here, numbers don't lie. Bottom end is stronger comparatively as well.
SYB - Basically the same team, minor tweaks. Should be marginally better.
TRT - Key components added. Stronger team overall.
MI - Added depth, will compete with top teams.
LF - Lateral moves. Mid Pack team.
NYK - Rebuild. Added talent, pressure will be on. Players will need to buy in to program otherwise will get a repeat of last year.
SIR - Had to do some last minute scrambling, lost some solid players. Lack of compete with the the bottom teams should keep them mid pack.
NT - Wild card, lost top tier player(s) and heart of team. Coaches didn't react quick enough.
FH - Could easily swap with mid pack teams. Some forwards added but may look similar to last year overall. Lots of question marks.
EE - Might get ugly.
