some kids.

others play like a team. Toronto Pro Hockey looked like a team to me.

Out here in Edmonton, can hear ML yelling at the kids in the room after that performance

Why would anyone want to play for a girl like that

21, 23, 43 worst ones on the ice

Is the Saskatchewan team supposed to be good this year? Or are the Bulldogs bad? I think they should give SR some linemates who pass and get open.

TBD is just not a good team, period.

SR’s size is going to become only a bigger problem with every passing year.

I’m not his mother or father but SR is the best player on the bulldogs and it isn’t even close, not sure the size of the parents but if that kid grows a little it’s game over. Maybe the bulldogs should get RH away from coaching those D. Only thing that guy knew how to do in hockey was sit in a penalty box

If SR was really that good he would have done more today. Kid had his ass handed to him. This is the peak of that kids hockey career, and it’s not pretty. Sorry Dad.

A lot of you seem to be confused how this is going to go so let me set it out for you as someone who has seen it all before.

In U12 some will start being told “your kid might be small…let’s see how things go.”

In U13 the coaches will get rid of 90% of kids who are smaller than average (hockey average not regular average). They will be replaced by beasts from AA who looked slow in U9 and didn’t have finesse but at 13, 14 they will happily flatten small AAA forwards who relied on skill but after they get splattered on the boards like flies or murdered on open ice they will fold and wither.

It isn’t fair but it happens every year. It’s coming. SR is a very good player but he won’t have space when hitting starts and he’ll be in a 50 lb and 6-8 inch deficit easy. Good luck with that. Not to pick on him exclusively, there are other tiny kids who were “all that at U8-9, ie ZL, they’re already folding.
