Very interesting start for the final four. Who are you taking?
MB/GT my final 2
I would agree
Do you think MB will beat rangers?
Yes. Rangers has terrible coaching
harsh. coaches can't play for the players. there are some kids on the team that just don't get it despite getting proper instruction. unfortunately the deep isn't deep and relies on the small forward to make it happen every night. needs upgrades overall. goaltending, defence, 2nd/3rd line forwards. will be better and more positioned next year.

Coaches affect players psychologically. Also they have to coach the game properly. Coaches are important. Agree that small forward is their strongest player

I think he’s telling you that your kid is mediocre
beasts have NC. that's all they have and thats enough. few solid players. girl, captain and goalie. huge turnover incoming for U14. some good pieces coming in.
rangers also have incoming pieces as well to address lack of offensive prowlness.
GT getting a lot of interest due to their success this year. also need a few pieces upfront and another D to shore up a strong core.
Is the TA coach still looking for players? What about top 4 teams?
TA absolutely have roster spots. but buyer beware. parent coaches and taking a few kids from A with him, including his kid. look at all the parent coaches' kids in this loop and you see exactly why they need to be head coach.
Dumbest comment I have ever heard. Most AA teams are coached by parents.
How many parent coaches in the loop next year vs. paid coaches?
looks like parent coaches or their bed buddy team managers offended.
non parent coaches: MB, FT, MT, GT, TE, HV
parent coaches :MR, ST, VR, TA
personally parent coaches don't bother me. you just need to make sure you are part of the clique and hang out with them and the team managers to get your kid good ice time. I'm good with this.
Paid coaches don't have favourties...
100% they do They love the parents with the $$$ who sponsor the team or should I save them
They will also favour the kids they know are staying next year
