And of the 4 new teams, how will they fare?
DMM
WHGH
LFG
TRTA

Tryouts have not started yet. anything can happen before or during tryouts.

DMM should be one of the better teams. LF picked up a couple kids from AA but lost as well to AA. TR lost a bunch to AA as well but they have picked up some good replacements. NYK lost a couple to AA but they recruit well

Where are LF, TRT and NYK getting kids from?

It's never too soon for a kid to have an agent. It's important to help your kid get ready to make the leap to AA, and an agent will get him on the right team with the best coach.

Was that a serious question? This is A hockey which compared to AAA hockey is like you trying to play basketball against an nba player. Until your kid hits 14 and is playing AAA don’t ever ask that question out loud again

So true. The level of play is such complete crap in the A loop and difficult to watch. There isn’t a player in the division that has even potential to be an impact AA player let alone a AAA player at some point in their journey. Players can dream but I guess parents will continue to open their pocket books. An agent, so funny!!

I'll agree regarding AAA but there are players that can definitely be good AA players. They're 11/12 lol. Anything can happen but the player needs to put the work in and with a growth spurt, there's many opportunities at the AA level

There were A players called up this year for AA games and at least one I know of was producing more than a point per game. Top A players can definitely make AA. And if you are willing to pay for it, could probably grab a AAA spot.

Where was this??? You can't get called up in the same age division. If they were at 12U A they would be called up for 13A or AA? Which one? 12uAA call up is not allowed in the G

Don Mills Mustangs stacked with AA players from various Orgs.

Major changes at SIR with over half the team cut.

NYK was already set for next season with several cuts. They'll have to decommit to 2 players to make room for a AAA and AA player coming down.

A bird told me that NYK still has a few spots left to fill.
