OMHA hockey sucks. 3x U16 OHL Cup wins in the past 20 years.
Anyone know what the breakdown is in the ohl
G vs O players?
It’s literally 50/50 but the iPAYintheG monkeys won’t want to hear about “garbage” leagues producing good players. Look at the top 10 today and do the math.
Not interested in top 10
If the ohl is the best development league prep to the the next level, some may now say the ncaa but I truly wonder how many are g and how many are o regardless of the age.
Point is, I have the feeling the balance is on the o side.
Go do the math and let us know.
I’m in the g but one of the big problems with the g is the super teams that form. I personally think parents make the mistake of taking a really good player and put him on a top team where you are always playing with good players. There is something to be said about a great kid struggling but making a difference on a mid pack team. Similar to playing in the o where you can be the guy while also struggling playing with weaker players. This is how great players are created
Not necessarily. Playing with top players lets other great players maximize their potential. Playing with exceptional players also preps kids for playing with better kids at the next level. There’s a reason the overwhelming number of picks are from top teams.
The G has 204 U16 kids playing if my math is right... to have 26 picked in the first 3 rounds is pretty impressive. OMHA has double the teams, do the math...

This is the dumbest “never played high level sports” comment. The earlier post was correct. Playing in a harder situation, learning to work with what you have and learning to compete is where development happens. Playing with better players prepares you for nothing.

Ok. Keep telling yourself that.
Wow you’re dumb.
Ok thank you
Let me explain in a more relevant way for you. You take a very rich family of which there are a lot in the g. You give your kid everything they want, the best stick, the best training everything at home and they go through life with no struggle (similar to playing on a top team in the sense of struggle) and they often turn out unsuccessful. Now you take a kid who doesn’t get everything they want, they struggle and they tend to be more successful. Hoping that lands a little better. Stop thinking that at the early ages thet you need to be on a top team! I get it that it does matter at the later ages it is important to be on a top team
