Everyone got quiet after JRC getting beat by WW last weekend. Jrc...123
Top 2 WW F, and Top D already in talks with JRC for the U-11 season. There is a rumor of TM in the mix as well because the brick spots being contingent on playing for TM for U-11.
Enjoy the trophies and medals in U-10. WW AAA program have nothing to combat their top kids leaving year after year to the G. Perhaps a change in leadership and direction for the organization at the AAA level is due?
A majority of brick players disappear by U15. Cool experience for the player and family but that’s all it is.
That's simply not true historically.
Do I think the true "best players" are playing on Brick teams? No. But, they are absolutely good players, and the vast majority will be continuing to play on top level hockey teams for the majority of their career.
Of course there are some players that fade away for many reasons.
Dumb comment.
With many KSL teams feeding into OMHA and also OMHA reducing teams I do feel that competition level in the OMHA will increase. Parents may end up keeping their kids in their zone and not look at the G. But it’s also possible the trend continues.
money talks.... If you were offered tuition paid for at a private school in Toronto, and a free ride to play for a top 4 team in the G, most would ask where I sign.
Until OMHA can compete on that level, top players will continue to leave the OMHA as the kids get older. It happens every year, since the days of MTHL, and it will continue to happen until prep hockey has more significance then club hockey in Ontario.
