2009 GTHL AAA

[Guest]

AA 10th forward on NYR got drafted.
Impre$$ive!

With 0 points for the season
Drafted by the team where his NYR coach scouts

And OG 14th round pick from Sens…small, 4pts in 31 games.
Such a waste.
I get it money pick.
So embarrassing for OHL and player.

A real embarrassment for the OHL, and more so, a real embarrassment for the organization that made the pick. The player referenced in the comment above, was the 10th forward on a last place team in the GTHL.

The same can be said with the 10th forward that was drafted from the North York Rangers, whose father recently purchased 50% of the North York Rangers OJHL team. If you connect the dots on this one….. you’ll know why this player was drafted to the Niagara dogs of the OHL.

Isn't this the same guy that purchased a Porsche for the coach to get his kid a spot on the Nats in the prior season (major bantam season)?

Is this for real??

Old news! The entire 09 loop knew about the Porsche trade for a 10th forward spot in the U15 season for the NATS! And look who he played for this past season. You can’t make this shite up.

Feel for the kid, he probably has no idea what happened behind the scenes.

You really got parents and coaches still actin like AAA is the promised land at that age Like bro if your kid ain’t already gettin looks from Junior teams or colleges it’s probably not happenin and that’s fine like it’s seriously fine not everyone’s makin the OHL draft or whatever

Half these kids are just tryin to keep playin the game with their boys maybe get a couple road trips in chirp a few guys maybe throw a muffin on net in the third and grab some pizza after That’s the real dream right there

And yo not to be harsh but there’s kids in AAA right now who couldn’t hit an open net if it owed them money but their dad’s got connections and a loud voice in the lobby So what does that even mean anymore

Your kid’s not a late bloomer he’s just late to the puck every shift stop blamin politics and start blamin his edges yo

Let’s be real If you’re 16 still grindin it out and you love the game good on you Whether it’s AAA, AA or even high school chill rec league whatever just enjoy it man You got like two more years before life starts throwin bills and jobs at your head

Play the game for the game Stop treatin every shift like it’s a job interview for the NHL The scouts already got their list and spoiler alert most of your names ain’t on it

So yeah maybe don’t remortgage the house for that U18 AAA team Just sayin

A few coaches had cars bought for them by parents this past year. Think about it… does any parent on your team own a car dealership? Ok now does the make of the coach’s new car match the dealership? Now, even better if the kid of that parent came from AA but is getting top line minutes on your AAA team. It’s really not that hard to figure out

Kid gets chirped by other kids in the ice every single game…. He knows what’s up.

AA kid that was drafted, is a mid pack AA player. this is factual information. This draft pick amongst several others were a blackeye to the OHL.

Your kid has to have outstanding skills and talent to not have to pay to play, other than that you better consider that you’re going to have to slip someone some money at some point for ice time. That’s the reality of AAA. It’s all a business.

And a kid entering aaa at 16 with no experience playing at the level will only make a low level team or mid range with low minutes, you pay more money and there are more expenses but if you don’t mind, hey, knock yourself out lol
