Someone else here said only one player left TR for DD, but you're saying four. It's difficult to know what's accurate, but I appreciate you sharing what you know.

In reality, 1-32-1, two wins were forfeit because of VP bench ignoring rules
It was a group that wanted to stay together and DD was the only team that could accommodate. I think 4 kids.

So LF lost two weaker players and replaced them with AA players?

The select teams moving to A will all struggle.

DMM has very few kids coming from AA. Don't have them in the top 3.

NYK has lost their top kids, not as strong as last season for sure.

TRT didn't get any better.

LF only had 2 spots and they have upgraded. I would predict them to be #1 based on what I've seen at the tryouts.

Yea NYK are going to struggle to score goals. Will be interesting to see if their goaltending is strong enough to keep them competitive. TR are going to fall back as well. ARD ans Leaside with DMM lurking. DMM will score, but they will give up a ton aa well

MI had a lot of changes, new coach who is known to be a great developer. Will be the fastest team in the loop. Question is did they improve in goal?

TA - team got worse, coach didn't get any of the players he was hoping for and all strong kids from last year went running for the hills based on crazy coach.

NYK - will be much different, top 3 goal scorers all gone

NT - stagnent, not much change.

Avs in West may not lose a game next season.

Rangers lost both goalies.

Duffield - drastically improved, and should win some games. Added strong kids from NT Select.

I have the NYK at 5-6 in the standing at best. They lost the top 3 players and replaced them with mediocre players, that's a huge hole they need to fill in.

Guest wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2024 11:05 am That makes more sense if it’s only one player. To me, the implication was that 6 top TR players are leaving, half for EE AA and half for DD A.

For EE AA, I assume they’re taking many of their existing stronger players, DM players remaining in AA, and a few top A players, giving them a better roster than 2023/24, but I have limited information about or interest in AA.

Guest wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2024 9:05 am Oh wow, interesting! EE AA makes a lot of sense for top TR players. DD is very surprising to me, because why would top players playing on a top team in far southeastern Toronto, move to an upstart team with games mainly in the far west end?? DD also gained some strong NT A players, so it looks like they've done a great job recruiting.

Kids left for EE and DD
Perhaps the player who moved to DD lives more central? or maybe they moved?

I dont think anything about EE makes any sense. They will be an A team playing in the AA loop.
I think 6 TR kids left. I dont think their top 6 left, just that 6 left. Some kids werent attracted to going to a losing AA program and opted to stay in a winning program.
You misunderstood. TR lost 6 kids. Not all 6 were their best, and not all 6 went to EE. 1 went to Girls Hockey. 1 went up to AA TR. The other 4 were not top kids. Arguably their best forwards all stayed at A.
