Re: 2016 Brick
The goalies that play for the coaches fall teams. That's how it almost always exclusively works. There are probably 10 good 2016 goalies. The rest are meh.

Re: 2016 Brick
You want to play Brick. You will have to play on coaches team for following years but most of the importance is for buying all the camps, all the private lessons, join all Bulldog tournament. Give the great compliment on coach goatee and coaching style. Tell coach he is too good and how shocked for not being a pro level coach. They missed a top level coach. Make sure to refer lots of people to join to be Bulldog. Few boys gonna be top talent but many not top level talent so must do right thing to join. Maybe time to take a loan for opportunities of lifetime. Put your boy name on wall in Edmonton mall. Best of luck, thank me later.

Re: 2016 Brick
I think it would be really cool and fun. My kid is a goalie, and hes pretty good. But we haven't gone to a single "brick" type thing, so we are obviously not on their radar. Which is fair.Guest wrote: ↑Mon Apr 28, 2025 1:20 pm You want to play Brick.

but at the end of the day, these coaches barely know anything about coaching hockey. What the heck do they know about who the best goalies are? The goalies they take, odds are they wouldn't be the "best", and if they were it would be pure chance that they landed them.
They go with whatever goalies they already know, typically the ones that play for them or a friend, and typically the goalies that were "the best" two years ago. Its fine. We couldn't afford the trip anyways. But, its a really poor system - this WHOLE brick thing is weird.

Re: 2016 Brick
The Brick is a tournament for 10 year-olds with rich parents, started by a multi-millionaire so his son could play in an "international" tournament. It's not a real tournament in any sanctioned league. Want to play, get your 7 year old on the "Brick" teams and go ever single camp, extra development skate etc. You need to be on the inside and you need to live in Toronto in you're in Ontario. The Brick is not a best-on-best tournament. Ontario sends 2 teams only, both from TO, both with kids that got into the coaches programs early and parents spent a fortune on them. There is no real "try out" meaning the best kids don't show up to compete for spots. It's a little tiny TO bubble of rich kids that are ok at hockey. Sure some big names have played, but all-in-all, only 3% of kids who went to the Brick have played in the NHL. People seem to think if you, then the Maple Leafs will be drafting your son in no time. The whole thing is silly if you take a step back and really look at it.Guest wrote: ↑Mon Apr 28, 2025 1:58 pmI think it would be really cool and fun. My kid is a goalie, and hes pretty good.

Re: 2016 Brick
Someone with some street cred should create a new tournament with the heavy hitters - but make it more "official" with actual rules for teams, players, and tournament officials.Guest wrote: ↑Mon Apr 28, 2025 1:58 pmI think it would be really cool and fun.

Teams should have to "qualify" to get in to the final tournament.
3 or 4 invite only tournaments provide points to the teams depending on where the team lands in the results, accrued over two years after the tournaments second year.
tournament winners automatically get into the tournament for the next year.
allow teams to enter from the entire world if they like
tournament has a board of directors committee made up of multiple members of multiple teams: KSL, Bulldogs, Little Ceasars, etc. 6 year term limit
tournament one: April - West Coast
tournament two: May - South USA
tournament three: June - East Coast
Final Championship: August top 8 teams make it, and its a best of three series. Teams / cities bid for it.
Thursday best of three
1 vs 8
2 vs 7
3 vs 6
4 vs 5
Friday best of three
1 vs 4
2 vs 3
Saturday best of three
1 vs 2
Saturday Night
Party / festivities
Sunday
Gala / awards
Boom, you've instantly become more relevant than the Brick, fall hockey teams, etc. Making serious bank. Do some PR work where you have 10 kids from any team apply to have their fees paid for on behalf of the tournament organizers making the perception of the tournament seem like its better for hockey in general. Get to actually KNOW the kids. Create rivalries because of the series aspect.
You're welcome.

this would be pretty epic. And before people come in with the "this is kids hockey guys" shut the F up... Why do we do ANY OF THIS. Its all meaningless at the end of the day. If thats your outlook on life why do you do anything? why even wake up in the morning.
