Whether you had a great experience or a terrible one, no parent of a player that has been to the Brick would make this comment because it's not true.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

It’s not even close. If you think that you’re a complete idiot

The Brick is the Super Bowl of Minor Hockey. Check out the price of Super Bowl tickets .. King of the Rings or any other minor hockey tournament doesn't compare.

Over the last two years, many of the best Ontario and Quebec 2015s played King of the Rings. The main difference to the Brick is that the Brick pulls in teams from the US and BC/Alberta. Granted the US has many strong players. But to imply it is not even close to the same level of play, is a ridiculous thing to say and is a sign that you have drank the Kool Aid. Further to that, I have news for you...if your kid is really that good that you need to seek out higher levels of play than King of the Rings...you know they can play a year or even two years up, right? 1000% guarantee a year or two up will be at or better than the level of this age group at the Brick, for less than $200. In the end, if you go to the Brick, you are spending thousands on what? Exposure? For what? 3-4 years from now nobody gives a flying shit about the Brick.

How can you have such a strong opinion when it's clear you've never been? You have an opinion about something you haven't experienced. Whatever helps you justify local tournaments. It's not about Kool aid, I actually know what I'm talking about based on experience. Is $200 a great deal for a solid tournament? Yes absolutely. Is the extra money worth going to the brick? Debatable. What's not debatable is comparing these two tournaments.

The level of play is very high and every kid is giving it their all. This is not the case at tournaments like kings of spring etc. I've been to them both. You can continue to argue something you know nothing about or try shutting your yap and learning something from others who have been there.

I promise you I’ve achieved 100 times anyone in your family has in sports. I know a thing or two. I’ll leave it at that.

If you want scouts to watch your kid don’t you have to play brick.

That's awesome. Really. Still doesn't explain how you came to a conclusion about something you haven't experienced. Again, my comment is in reply to yours stating that other spring tournaments are just as good as the brick. You could be Connor McDavid, doesn't make your argument carry anymore weight. I'm not saying it's a must, not saying it's worth it. Simply saying they are not comparable. If you haven't been with a child, you don't know. Ok there Mr. McDavid?

McDavid has a point here.
