2008 GTHL A WEST

[Guest]

How big is the Avalanche team budget?

If you gotta ask, you can't afford it.

Bottom line. The U17A West loop going to be very balanced from Top to Bottom. You may only see 4-6 points separate top team from bottom team. Don't start 0-3 or you might be in trouble. Can't wait until October.

Until October, there’s no debate. It’s TE and then the rest. Have to prove it before you can say it. They have AA level players who came down before, and a AAA player star, and great coaching. Plus they’ve been playing in the same system together for years.

I hate to be that guy, but the Avs MIGHT win 4 games total all year. It is what it is. I think all the players and parents know this, so there should be no real surprises.

The fact that the org chose a trainer to run the team and put in his own head coach is more the issue. This will be the team with the biggest budget, with the least results.

Hopefully, the kids will have sone fun.

The avs are in big trouble. They’re short players. They posted an ad for a d man but they actually need much more. Big budget too. Just to pay the trainers and bench minions

Simply not true. Yes, Avs have the weakest raw talent and team chemistry but you are forgetting that the talent/chemistry will accelerate over spring/summer .. while the other U17A rest on past records and declining AA talent. Avs will surprise and might have the best record in the loop in the final 15-20 games. Get ready to be surprised!

I'm on the Avs and I am excited about this team. My only fear is that there is only 3-5 really good players. I hope my son does't get the short end of the stick when it come to ice time. No pun intended. They better roll the lines or else I'm going to be very vocal about it. Emails will be flying to everyone in the G. You filled the team with weak talent, you better be prepared to play everyone.

I wouldn't worry. The Avs signed a house league goalie and some select players. You have nothing to worry about. The team is pretty well balanced. those line will just roll...lol
for a team who started skates in January and ended up with barely 4 D's and 1 goalie still blows my mind. Good luck to you guys.

We're still going to pump your team. And you know it. So my advice to you would be to worry about your own team and your own kid. Your obsession with the Avs says a lot about you.

6k team budget; how much is spring hockey?

TE wins for the first time and now they are the greatest team ever. LOL

Strong team top to bottom but zero AAA caliber kids on that squad.
