Yeah, usually.

Usually there isn't open borders. There are a lot of kids being swayed to go to G teams right now as we speak. This isn't just "The kids I own will come to me" any more. If the coach isn't out there talking to families of the top kids with a list in his hand of whos available - hes toast.

Some parents will prefer to be 10 mins away from the practice arena during weekdays and that may factor it. But yes, if coaches are not out there scouting and recruiting it will spell trouble. But this is a tricky situation. A lot of KSL families have interest in YSE and although the G coaches may be trying to do their own scouting it may not really be what people observe at the moment. YSE will end up being a strong team.

I assume YSE will be fine. But, I know personally 4 or 5 kids that would likely make up the top half of YSE next year and they are all doing G skates and are being sold cheap fees or practices being moved for them, etc.

who knows what actually happens, but that is the down side to not having a coach that was part of U9 this year. They won't know the kids or the families that are all over ontario right now playing in different spots.

Its not like years past where you could scope out Newmarket, Aurora, Richmond Hill, Georgina, etc. This guy has no friggin clue that some of the better players in the area are playing in Barrie, Toronto and Whitby area right now.
