McDavid was already McDavid prior to being recruited. It doesn’t matter where stamkos trained. Sk8on is not the G. Stamkos didn’t even have to play with older kids and still turned out a top pick in the nhl with a strong career.
Who did the Soviets play against before the fall of communism? How did they get good at hockey without the GTHL?
So did Mcdavid, oh and how is Crosby and Bedard do as good as they did being so far removed from the G?
McDavid played his last 3 years with the Marlies you moron. Look it up.
LOL hey moron, you think it was those last 3 years that put him on the map?
The only thing the GTHL has over the OMHA is deep pockets and even bigger egos. Can’t blame McDavid or any other OMHA kid for taking a free ride. If someone offers my kid a private school education and free hockey in a few years then I will be tempted. For now, he will play on a top OMHA team that will beat up on 9/12 GTHL teams. Oh, and they will do it by developing the kids within our boundary and not by recruiting. The best GTHL coaches are the best recruiters, the best OMHA coaches actually have to put in the work.

Both the GTHL and the OMHA can operate simultaneously, develop kids, and be great places to play The need to stack them up against one another to feed your ego says more about you then the league.
