Valid point. Two midgets could make a giant… but if we’re banking on statistical anomalies and miracles, then the Cambridge Hawks are in the running for OHF champs next year too.

I would disagree and say their best hockey is ahead of them as few, if any, have physically matured at this point aside from the 2 new additions - the water is too clean in Oakville, no early maturers...lol I would think MyHockey will look something like top 3 G teams in some order (VK,JRC,TM), Quinte, OR, Elgin in the next group, next 2 G teams in with COW, Hamilton, Ottawa Myers, UCC, EOW. I'm sure some team(s) will surprise and Sudbury will be a very good team if everyone stays.

No early maturers and very few with the necessary physical potential considering parent statures.
Oakvilles spring outcomes are at odds with this opinion.

Wait till the kids quit in OR because they are tired of being belittled and ridiculed by a grown man.

Nobody quits on POS.

OR is fading. Most of the players peaked 1.5 years ago when they had the coached advantage of early IQ trained into them. Most other kids have caught up in the IQ department now and athletic ability has become a more significant factor, removing this advantage from OR. OR should be a top 15 team next year but no longer elite. POS has traded half the team away, admitting his development skills are ineffective. POS last year with this age group. KABOOM. Book it.

From NYR.

LOL Stud player and NYR don’t go together at all

The Goalie maybe. But that’s it

Maybe not
