WW AAA roster is all from Klevr. All kids from YK, one from YK East and one from Junior Wings. Not a single kid from Whitby MD. Looks like the same thing with the Barrie Jr Colts where the roster is all from Purple Cobras. Seems like a huge talent gap between KSL and local MD teams.
Looks like:
WW U10 AAA coach is/was affiliated with the Young Kings as a development partner
WW U11 AAA coach is/was likely affiliated with Klevr via DHD (which has had instructors as Klevr coaches)
No judgement on my part. Kids could very well be better & likely have more ice time in general than MD. Coaches are also probably more familiar with them, the extended families, levels of commitment, etc. and have seen team dynamics of how kids associate and can play with each other.

Hearing a lot of concerns with Omaha Raiders team.
We’re all good - thanks anyway for your concern.
That team had issues when they were in Duffield. Few favourites get all the ice time..eventually will lead to rich parents not happy about ice time cut at U9

Ice time is an “issue” on every.single.team. Duffield doesn’t own the monopoly on that problem.

It’s an issue in Spring and it will get worse in the regular season. He is also a parent coach. Cuts or not is parents can find other teams. It’s not the end all f the world

When some kids play 2 mins in a period, it’s a problem. Imagine the mindset of the coach who wants to win so badly that he has a 7 year old on the bench and still can’t win gold. That’s the sort of strategy that no one should defend…
ultimately, it will be a free market at U10 since all can see performance in one single tournament. Even if you play Aces, Ducks, Saint, you will get looked upon by perspective JRC, Marlboro coaches. If you made Omasta team or any other team, it doesn’t guarantee a U10 AAA spot.

Nobody is saying that being on Omasta Raiders is guarantee AAA spot. Coaches will know the kids who perform and play well. But it’s a real problem when there are no opportunities to prove yourself.

Agree. And no one is saying benching kids is okay. It’s just not unique to this team - kings, ducks, saints, aces, raiders , all nyhl teams, they all do it. And if anyone says it doesn’t happen on their team, it’s only because their kid hasn’t been on the receiving end of it.

Come on. It happens more in some team than others. It’s about the intensity of how bad it is. Aces ducks saints don’t go to Omasta level…ask any Duffield parent who left Omasta team. Or ask the kids on Omasta team who play a few mins per period ( if that)
