AAA is open, but I can't see a lot of parents driving over an hour for practices and games. It is not worth it.

Anyone driving over an hour to play hockey needs some serious help.

You’d be surprised. There are many such confused parents planning to drive over an hour to play in the G. They assume that the G will ensure their kid magically becomes a superstar.

So do you really think that the G has all better coaches. Buddy you are so delusional. It seems you are one of those parents. I’m sure there are other centers on your 1.5 hour drive to the G.

This is true. This guy wouldn't have posted that his kid and his team would wipe floor with them - if he wasn't serious.

Must have a couple of board members with kids on the bubble…

If you do leave and make a team from another city, does that mean you're blacklisted from ever re-joining your home city in future years?

Why would you leave if you are ever concerned about going back?
Stick it out in your home organization until It gets better or your kid gets better.
Or leave in hopes of being on a better team and developing somewhere else.
You can’t have your cake and eat it at the same time.

An organization that blacklists a kid for going somewhere else is the very reason why a kid should go somewhere else.
It sounds like that organization isn't really in it for the kids at all. If they were, they'd be working diligently on solving the problems and making sure that players don't want to leave, not punishing them for highlighting the organization's problems.
