I dont think the rest of the west has a clue just how deadly the weapons are that FT (and to an extent MB) has picked up. Theyare about to find out the hard way. Massive forwards and AAA talent all over the lineup. MNS VR and VP are good , but we will see a two team race in the west.
AAA talent? If they were AAA talent they'd still be there pal.
They picked up AA talent that should have been at AA last year.

Lets summarize this deadly talent:
- TE players (mid AA at best)
- couple of AAA castoffs from juggernauts TRW and MS

You seem new to minor hockey
Think of the kids who were cut by the Jets after their 0-34 season
You know how many of them got spots on a top 3 A team in the west? None, zero, zilch

That’s who you’ve got “all over the lineup”
Well in fairness there were a couple Jets players that A teams passed on last year also but the Jets still took them.

MB had a lineup of 16 skaters last year, if they added who did they cut?

The development at MNS both in terms of team play and individual skill was excellent this past year. The results speak for themselves.
The coach took several kids that others had passed on or hesitated on and made them into a top team. One has gone to a top AAA team (in the G). Others could have similarly moved up, but chose to remain due to the compelling coaching and environment.
Culture is key to the success. An emphasis on accountability over entitlement. That may not work for all kids, but it clearly did for most and the group as a whole. Even more importantly, the work ethic and the values instilled by the coaches are ones that will benefit the MNS kids for decades to come. Not just in sport, but in life.
MB and FT had your number.
Question is whether you recruited well enough as them.
They knocked MB out of playoffs and lost 2-1 in West Final vs FT
Trust me when I tell you...2025-2026 MNS will be a problem!
Weak kids gone....problem parents gone....New Monsters on D and improved Offence.
They will be a problem!
Good luck to the West
FT first two forward lines will be unstoppable.
Good luck with the skyscrapers on D
D is not as important at this age - it’s who can score the most goals. FT offense will overpower all.

You sure? Hard to score when you're playing in your own end all game.
