If you can't afford a to buy a team sponsor ALL under-privaledged kids at young age to get to AAA level. Lots of great diversity in GTA & the G already. Coaches are welcoming of TALENT.

How do you buy a non profit? Can the Gthl explain that question? There seems to be something wrong with the Gthl and this is not heading in the right direction.

My point is that all of this awarness is also accidentally growing the si.ple existence of the issues.

If we just told our kids lots of people are different for a lot of reason, and none are better tham the other, we would be fine.

Over-bandwidth for these issues is growing the problem too. My kids for 1 didnt have a clue that anyone should think of any of this stuff until the "activist" style groups gave the problem more airtime than the solution. Now my kids wonder if they are weird for not giving a shit about other people being different. They now think they need to have an opinion on it because its in their face constantly.My experience.

The GTHL would be filled to the brim with enough talent to fill 20 AAA teams. But every reasonable person who has witnessed that money draining sesspool has eventually said F it, I’m done. They’ve created their own mess. The only way to save it is to blow it up and start again.

100% agree.

What he said! The G needs to turn these teams back into non-profits like they're supposed to be. G AAA is a league for the rich, not the best. I don't think the colour of your skin matters as much as the parents ability to line the pockets of the coach and organization. If AAA was based on talent, half the kids would be replaced. But we all know that will never happen too many scumbags making too much money, plus an organization that doesn't have the guts to change to landscape. So sad!

This is not entirely true. G AAA is for the best of the best and then if you are not in that very small group of the absolute best, it is for people who are willing to pay. Money is clearly a massive issue for the whole hockey complex, but the truly elite kids (those that are first round OHL draft kids, playing top tier NCAA) the GTHL makes a ton of sense. For everyone else, if you have the money to spend then go for it.
