2012 GTHL 'A' DIVISION

[Guest]

MI had a lot of changes, new coach who is known to be a great developer. Will be the fastest team in the loop. Question is did they improve in goal?

TA - team got worse, coach didn't get any of the players he was hoping for and all strong kids from last year went running for the hills based on crazy coach.

NYK - will be much different, top 3 goal scorers all gone

NT - stagnent, not much change.

Avs in West may not lose a game next season.

Rangers lost both goalies.

Duffield - drastically improved, and should win some games. Added strong kids from NT Select.

Are you sure NT is stagnant? I heard they lost a significant numbers of players, including many cuts, and several players to Duffield.

Why so? Last season HVS gave them hard time the whole season including playoffs and VR beat them most of the times in regular season. They are obvious favourites, but not sure about "not lose a game".

stagnent in the sense they won't improve, but likely won't be any worse off than they were this season.

DMM - yes, they're from AA, but I heard majority of strong players found new homes and not coming down to A. Not sure why people think they're so strong. Was at a couple of their skates and talent level was not there.

MI Fastest Team? They lost some good players but improved in Goal. Didn't add anything of significance other then the goalie. I think overall they got worse, despite the upgrade in net.

TA had strong kids?

NYK will be in tough to repeat as East Champs.

NT is NT. They are never horrible. SOme years better than others. Last year was one of those not so great years. This year looks the same. They'll make the RR.

Avs not lose? This isnt U10 where a super team could run the gauntlet. They are a good team no doubt, but lost an important piece of their puzzle.

DD - Lets hope they improve. Losing season is 1 thing but being competitive is another. TA finished last this past season but won games and were competitive. Hope DD does the same.

There are too many weak teams this year in the loop for DMM to miss the playoffs. Thats just fact, not a disrespect to the teams in question.

SIR - Overhaul. 2 Goalies are all this team has going for it.
TA - 2nd Season in. Had a respectable 1st Season but also had turnover.
WH - Crap shoot. Good Association but will bringing their Select Team up be good enough? Not sure what, if anything, came of their Tryouts.
LF2 - LF1 is a strong team. Do they have enough in the system to field a competitive 2nd team?
TRT2 - Same story as LF2.

1 of those 5 teams is going to make the playoffs, and its anybody's guess as to which one. DMM are better then all 5 of those teams so finishing 7th is a given. How far up from 7 they climb is the question. TRT, LF, NYK are all strong enough to warrant Top3 Prediction. Are DMM better then ARD, MI, NT? Time will tell.

5th or 6th is where I see them slide in.

#5 on TA was very strong!
