Usually at Minor Midget the G will have a couple dominant teams at the top. But that's because they get stacked by then. And those teams will have just as many kids that grew up playing in other leagues. So yes the G is always the 2 teams in final going back for some years now but it's not due to better coaching or development. It's player movement and rules for teams that aren't equal across the board. For example take all top ETA players from G and stack them on a a team with top players still in ETA, now do same with SCTA. It will certainly change some outcomes year after year. Look at most top 25 OHL draft rankings. Not many from G but they're on the same 2 teams.
They leave those dusty farm arenas to come to the G for better coaching and development, and greater exposure. It’s the yellow brick road, the Hollywood sign. Opportunities that nowhere else can provide. Simple as that.
Wrong. Not better exposure in reality and not better coaching. Again, check top 25 list, very few from G. Every league has their own assigned scouts and Development really starts at next level and so does good coaching.
You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. Not sure you know the meaning of the words "very" or "few".
2022 draft: 8 of 10 from G (including top 2), 0 of 10 from O; 12 of 20 from G, 3 of 20 from O
Let's ignore the fact that the two covid drafts did, let's be honest favour the G as more known players, and look pre-pandemic drafts, similar thing.
2019 draft: 5 of 10 from G (including top 2), 1 of 10 from O; 9 of 20 from G, 3 of 10 from O
2018 draft: 5 of 10 from G, great year for O with almost as many with 4 of 10; 10 of 20 from G, 7 of 20 from O
2017 draft: 7 of 10 from G, 1 of 10 from O; 12 of 10 from G, 4 of 20 from O
Great players come from all over the province. But there is a reason why so many great players come from outside the GTA to play in the GTHL. There is a reason you don't see the reverse.
That just proves that they come to G. Break it down further to tell us how many came from outside the G and at what age level. Any top 20 player would be drafted whether in G or not. Players just like the G. No better exposure or coaching.
The coaching is FAR superior and it’s not even close. Like the other poster said you never see the reverse and that’s why
Lol, it isn't superior at all. You dont see reverse because for 1 every parent wants what they perceive as the prestige if thier kid plays in G and 2nd it just isn't as convenient when you have to drive 3 hrs 1 way to a game in those other loops. My 1st and 2nd son's coaching became superior when they went on to Jr.
3rd son is in minor system now. They have all played OMHA and GTHL. The only thing G coaches excel at is being a salesman. Minor hockey is not complicated, most important is skill development and I don't rely on winter coaches for that. Most ex players can coach basic systems required for minor level.
