100%. It will be LF/Raiders vs a bunch of filler teams. They need bodies. Top kids are staying NYHL or CDS.

Skates have been packed at most KLEVR teams. Above poster was correct in their assessment. Better development and better structure/ coaching. You’ll pay roughly 3 grand for NYHL garbage driving to downsview on a Thursday at 6pm in the winter. Lol.

You can get on a good KLEVR team for 3500 +

Some are better than others.

I’m personally not a fan of NSH but go where you feel best. Definitely better than Alliance.

What is the deal with NSH? Great facility but they seem disorganized. They aren't having a 2017 ksl team anymore and the 2016 looks to be in jeopardy too. You'd think since they cover such a large/ good hockey area that they could put together a good team.

There is a team south of there with much better development and pedigree. Hamilton HC. Former Shmuchkin grad & NHL skating coach. One of the best skating coaches you’ll ever find and old school. Most of the talent from the area is going there.

You kidding? The guys a joke. Was big 15 years ago before his prison term took him off the map. Stay the hell away people!

Who are you talking about? Clearly defamation or no clue.
The guy I’m talking about has trained most of the best skaters at u16 in Ontario with more coming. Don’t post shit you don’t know.

I’m the last to defend the KSL but this doesn’t sound like a cash grab. It sucks that you didn’t get on the team but one $40 tryout is the opposite of a cash grab. Sounds like they only had a few spots to fill and they saw everything that they needed to see and didn’t string anyone along. Just to give you some context the Aces has six nights of tryouts for each of the three age groups.

Yeah but were they real tryouts at each age group? Or did any age group have a preformed team?

Like everything in hockey in Toronto and surrounding areas all teams are very much preformed - maybe one or two spots open at tryouts

Burlington?

Sounds like bull crap to me. Someone from Klevr making up a story to try and generate interest. It’s no secret the skates so far have all been duds
