Play AAA in OMHA or AA in GTHL?
As the title says, in your opinion is it better to play AAA in the OMHA or AA in the GTHL at the U10/U11/U12 age groups? Most important things to us are qualified coaches who have good development plans, competitive games and a good team environment. My child currently plays AAA in a smaller OMHA centre but we are considering moving to the GTHL next season, where I anticipate he will be AA calibre. Any input would be appreciated.

I would stay in the OMHA. Usually better coaching for development.Guest wrote: ↑Fri Dec 27, 2024 8:13 am AA in gthl is more competitive than AAA in omha Aand alliance overall. Facts

True but only for the AA East loop. AA west is watered down with too many teams. Pretty much holds for all age groups.Guest wrote: ↑Fri Dec 27, 2024 8:13 am AA in gthl is more competitive than AAA in omha Aand alliance overall. Facts
On the other hand a reason to stay with AAA Omha is to get visibility at AAA tournaments. Assuming your kid is an impact maker he will stand out and coaches will call. But those same coaches won’t be watching AA games.

Just speaking from experience...the west is generally the stronger more competitive division, even if the bottom 2-3 teams are A quality. On the whole it's typically stronger than the East.Guest wrote: ↑Fri Dec 27, 2024 10:13 amTrue but only for the AA East loop. AA west is watered down with too many teams.

If you believe that GTHL AA is more competitive than OMHA AAA then long run development is potentially better in GTHL. Obviously would depend on factors like coaching etc. If you live on the outskirts of Toronto I'd get in the G. It's better.

The GTHL is a cesspool of washed up hockey players pretending to be coaches. All these people care about is money.
The GTHL isn't what it used to be, just go look at the U20 Canada roster and tell me how many GTHL players there are?
