Stay away from MM. Coach is horrible with kids. Plays his nephew every other shift. Will make you attend his eLiTe skating sessions and have you continue attending all while not giving you a straight answer of if he would take your kid. If your kid is not a stud he won’t play much. Several pages back you’ll see lots would say the same about him.

Nats **

DMF goalie stood on his head , he had to have faced 30+ shots and a few that just hit the knob of his stick. Looks like he won't get big games next year with TM goalie coming in. DMF was outplayed

Marlies goalie is the most overhyped goalie in the league.

JRC embarrassed him last game.

RL and TR from TM make it pretty hard to be a goalie on that team. Haven’t seen much worse in AAA hockey. So hard to watch.

Running from them? They upgraded to JS. He will be the brick goalie. They upgraded for a reason

You are embarassing.

How dare you. Ammal is as straight of a shooter as they come. I can't think of a single time he has lied or led someone on. Always gives ice time based on how well the kid plays. Only benches the kids who don't perform. Go to him if you want a true AAA experience.

If by straight shooter you mean the same Ammal that calls the kids at his "showcase" tuesday skate "AA garbage" to parents he's trying to recruit, yet tells those same "AA garbage" parents to keep bringing them for skates so he can "have another look" ... yeah... definitely a straight shooter.

Took my kid to an Ammal skate and my kid told me he did not want to play for him. Enough said. If my 9 year old can figure it out, so can you. Those kids are miserable. Are they happy to play AAA? yes. Did they get offers elsewhere? Nope. I would never subject my kid to that, if I didn't have to. Of course, if it was the only team, then yes, I'd pick MM. That's the truth.
