Guest wrote: ↑Thu May 22, 2025 7:29 am A lot of late vacancies at every level of U17. Kids still looking or now choosing to drop down or quit? I know some A teams have only added AAA or AA kids. All these kids finally dropping to A to play with friends I guess. Guess this is why some A players are making the jump to AA for the first time. Not necessarily a great idea to enter contact for the very first time.

Oh, good than lots of room for my kid to make triple!

Absolutely insane of any kid to enter the Midget year and hit for the first time. The only reason they are making it to AA is because the AA kids went AAA or mainly a ton of AA kids dropped down to A, which is what happened. LOL who the hell wants to move up and take a beating now?? Parents are so dumb. Your kid isn't really good enough to play and they are 3 years behind with learning how to take a hit. All for another letter. Embarrassing
There is a reason why your kid has not made an AA team up until this year. Idiot parents.

You are delusional if you think this is even contact. You’re acting like this kid is being thrown in the octagon. He’s practically going into a league with less contact than ballet. Give you head a shake, I’ve seen more grit in house league than in this 09 AA division.

These kids are all in for a wake up call when they’re playing ASHL at 11PM on a Wednesday vs the local union 97 who had a bad day on the construction site.

Time to play for fun if not able to make AAA at minimum. May have an opportunity next year as the over agers. Any U18AAA composed of 09s will not be successful. You’ll see that example this year with VP dropping down significantly in the standings. A lot of 09 AAA and AA kids have dropped to play with friends for at least 1 year. U17A Avs, VR and TR have all only added AA and AAA kids. U18AA and U18AAA teams that will succeed have either only kept 08 AA or AAA kids. Look for teams in A at this point like the 3 above to have fun and succeed for 1 year, or play with friends.

Wow. What a waste of typing. No one cares. Go back to your A thread plug.

Truth hurts eh? Guess your little boy is the kid that finally got an extra A this year because there were TONS of AA coaches taking whoever to floor a team to ensure they get paid. Haha.

A friend of my sons who played A , was probably either their 4th or 5th best defenseman is moving to AA. Kid was one of the 3 bottom D on his A team and is moving up. LOL probably your kid. Cant wait to see your wifes reaction the first time your son get his bell rung. Moronic parent.

My kid is moving up to AAA and he’s looking to ring a few bells himself, if you think your kid is going to be fed the puck all the time like some one trick pony, think again. Time to separate the men from the boys!

That’s the difference between my son and yours.

My son is like Ovie, calm, composed, always at the side of the circle posted up and demands respect from his teammates. They have no choice but to feed him the puck all the time because of his shot and you know it. This is something that only happens once a generation.

What do you do when you’ve got a superstar on your team? You feed him. You don’t give him crumbs, you give him a medium rare sirloin steak with a side of mash.

If a losing team and a losing coach is not willing to comply by his rules, it’s easy. We leave and go to the next team. A team who knows his value and raw talent. If he isn’t on the ice for every scoring opportunity including empty netters than it’s a no go. It’s funny how we’re still even here. I don’t even have to say my kids name, you know who he is. That speaks volumes. Say. My. Name.

Some these parents haven’t picked up a twig in their life.

You were definitely the last to get picked in dodgeball during gym class and it shows with this comment.

How soft we talking? Like build-a-bear soft or warm stick of butter in the sun soft?

AA kids are getting cut from A teams. I know of a few. From VR and TR. Best part is that both or at least one is still looking for players. Guess coaches are being picky even at A?! Lol

Not surprising that AA players are getting cut at A. The draft year is done, and AA is the worst level to play now, as you don’t get any benefit. You’re not in AAA and you’re just taking damage in AA, meanwhile the hockey in A is better then AA and you’re less likely to get hurt. The most important aspect is that you also have more time for school in A, which is crucial now that the 2009 group is going into grade 11.

keep in mind that some of us go to a superior private school education where they accommodate hockey schedules and provide extra tutoring when needed. So despite us having extra hockey and skill development, we still get a better education than the public school folks.

GOOD LUCK .

Because these kids are realizing that they are not making the NHL, they are quitting or playing down and focusing on their education. I’d say that’s a pretty solid move.

Since when is chasing your dreams looked down upon? Go get your education and be a clog in the machine for the next 50 years. You’re what’s wrong with this new generation of Canadian society. You’ll be grinding and paying big $ money in taxes while Abdul next door lives the same life as you, with 3x the kids as you, and he’s never worked a day in his life.

When you have a calling, it’s speak from the heart, not the brain. Despite my kid not getting the call on draft day, he’s determined to carve out his path. A different way, the right way.

His Calling is ASHL wed night 10pm in the B Division. Your a bozo for thinking anything else. And a bigger bozo for continuing to spend money on a AA kid who doesnt even play AAA. You is a fool my man................... no wonder why your wife takes advantage of you.

He doesn’t want to play physical, he doesn’t finish a check, never in a million years would he fight, he’s scared of being hit or knocked down. That’s pretty normal for a 15 yr old going on 16 year old right?
