Any early predictions in the west? Hearing lots of teams forming from around different levels very late. What's the status of teams?
A LOT happened pre and post try outs.
Faustina Toros completely folded. Lost too many players to AAA last minute and no one new kids showed up at try outs so they all had to run for the hills and frantically find a new team after their first skate was a bust.
Mississauga jets also folded and many kids ran to the rattlers. But with that being said, the coach was at all the A skates trying to finish off his team.
The wolverines have also folded.
GT caps may also have folded but they may have got a weak team last minute.
AA in the West went from 16 down to 12-13 teams.
HVS will be a top team. Lots of size in a lot of the players and the coached poached a 4 kid package deal, where one probably should not have been taken. They did however lose their star F and D to AAA.
The beast have the top 2 AA goalies and a top coach. Tiny but very fast kids! Good parent and kid group. They will be one to watch. HVS will start ahead of them, but beast may jump ahead.
VR and VP have decent players. Rangers are from Vaughan White the last season and panthers are a combo of klver and others kids.
Toronto Eagles got the top player from the Toros post fold so they have moved up in the rankings. One kid can't make a team but this kid could have gone AAA. Good grab for the Eagles.
Mississauga North Stars will also be team to watch. Their skates were solid.
Terriers and Rattlers have great coaching staff but their team talent ranges from really good to A quality.
Devils is the old devils red and has some personality clashing of parents. They will remain at the bottom.
Streetsville has a nice coach but weaker kids than the top teams
The Attack had to rebuild when their top kids left. Nice coaching staff but it depends on who they were able to sign.
