Top notch.

The team has gone backwards every year since U10, the head coach couldnt care less about it, he’s out of there in a year going to coach his future AAA team

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.

FH coach is the best in the loop. Knows how to recognize top end talent but most importantly develop them… unlike others. Will be a top 6 team. Added more than a few offensive juggernauts.

I know we rip apart that head coach but the organization clearly stepped in and did the right thing in order to take steps to make them competitive again. The exact thing EE should have done. The Knights a year ago were worse than DMM & EE combined. Go look at the 2022/2023 scores and compare them to the 2023/2024 season. EE should do the same and it will benefit all the kids in the loop.
