No need to call out players. Serves no purpose. This is not to attack anyone. Just healthy discussion.
for the first time in years this is interesting respectful dialogue. Everyone playing AAA in the G deserves a lot of credit.
I think all can prob all agree it’s easier to hide your diminishing skills on a top team where u get lots of W’s/ receive great unselfish passes from great kids, get tons of saves ….
Vs.
Trying to standout out as a top player on a lower ranked team where perhaps you’re not surrounded by the same talent pool.
Just food for thought. Lots of kids not on the top 3 teams will also go far if not farther than many who are.

Best of luck to all.

So there are amazing players being held back by playing on bad teams? I can’t think of one who shines in summer hockey when playing with better players. Don’t worry about the crazy conspiracy theories and enjoy watching your kids play

If your kid is playing AAA you are doing something right. Keep controlling the factors which you can and stay the course. Uncontrollable factors such as puberty, genetics, injuries, intelligence will all play a factor over the next few years. Only then will we know who, if any, has a chance at the next level. And then if starts all over again.

Agreed, add toughness, compete level, desire, work ethic, burnout to your list (some controlled, some uncontrolled)
