You're a liberal loser who probably watches CNN and CBC

They have 100 teams for next year.

When did having a kid playing Klevr make you an automatic conservative? Or staying MD = Liberal. Asking for a friend…

Does ice time in Klevr at U7 level vary greatly by lines or will it be distributed almost equally among all players? If ice time is different, would it be better to be on a lower line in Tier 1 or higher line in Tier 2?

It's always better to put your kid at a level where they will play more and on top 6 forwards or top 4 D than in a higher tier and not play as much or in the important situations.

If coaches are not equally distributing ice time at u7 that’s a problem. The kids are 6. It may vary by coach but at this age most coaches are not that crazy. At u9 ice time will vary for the most part but some coaches will still play who they trust the most or favs.

I'd say there are very few programs at this age that are not just rolling lines. I'd recommend you ask the coach and find out what their perspective is.

there are three ways to do things:

1. Roll the lines no matter what
2. Roll the lines until its 3rd period, and within a goal either direction.
3. Play time is earned based on results/effort/situation.

Nothing inherently wrong with any of the three approaches. pros and cons for all three. However, it should be communicated clearly at the beginning of the season and stuck to.

ok

Can’t speak for all teams because there are crazy coaches/parents out there. We rolled our lines all season and might use a PP/PK line in the third in a close game. Last few minutes of a close game, our best players played. Pretty much the OMHA guidelines for U10 AAA.

G A Y is not allowed here?

okay...

Liberal = G A Y
Conservative = Not G A Y

this is why its important to decide which league your son plays in, as this will tell you if you need to divorce your wife or not.

Kids not getting equal ice in U9 is a major problem too. But all these Klevr programs want to win so that they can sell their 'success'.

Not all of them, but if your kid is a lower end player and they are carrying more than 10 players then you should be asking the coach how they plan to run the bench before you commit.
