..

actually that's not true. SIR won't beat NT 99.9% of the time as they didn't make enough gains to offset the starting gap.
But, a team that focuses on development will improve and those that don't won't... so congrats to those types of coaches

Lol...at the parents who keep coming on here and trying to hold onto this idea that the reason their team isn't better is because their team is 'focused on development'. Its U11 hockey, the only way you can be successful is by developing the players. The teams still alive in the playoffs have developed their players. Just own the fact that your kid's team is not that good yet. Hopefully they get better, do what you can as afamily to make the team better, but stop trying to claim some moral high ground in your mediocrity.

That isn't how I understand the post; they seem to be saying that teams aren't good overall because they haven't developed their players.

Seemed to be in reference to MI making the final four while others did not. Seems you share that perspective.

MI kids were a well coached squad with A skill and lots of hustle. The other bottom teams don't have much development. NYK and SYB focused on physicality and playing dirty, which works once in a while. There coaching and skills didn't progress as much as other teams.

Facts. Most coaches are lazy or self interested. That's why they ride their goalie or one or two players instead of building out a team. Ask EE or WH. It wasn't just NYK or SYB who were coached lazily. Good coaching takes work and it's rare.

WH is the most disappointing team- rode their goalies all year but didn't do much else & should have.
Actually NYK may be the most disappointing.two years in a row.. not sure why.
Based on trajectory, NT should be the top team.

SYB improved allot the latter part of the season. Who are the “west kids” why does it matter if they return. They are 11 most players are replaceable at this age.
WH definitely the biggest disappointment
NYK feel bad for the kids, so many can’t skate and all they had was the option to play dirty, time for a rebuild
NT will not be a top team and will drop. They are clearly well coached and play well as a team. But not the most talented kids and as other teams catch up on the “Team development” they will drop. And they’ll get angrier and play dirtier game after game. They’ll quickly drop to middle pack team.

EE glad they are out. The individual game play can only take you so far, terrible hockey gross coach. Sit back and watch the show in the coming days parents will be angry after being kicked out and and guaranteed couple players will flee. Winning is what keeps that group happy no how they got there

Replaced by who? And what's the difference is coaching is the same?

Does a rebuild start with coaches of these teams?

None of the named teams need a rebuild...4th and 8th place finished within 2 wins of each other, points are 30-34. Those are very competitive games and that's what the league needs more of. Those teams need to build from where they finished and there's nothing to be ashamed of at all.

NYK does have skating issues but they still managed to do fine

Aeros and SIR now they need a fresh start starting with the coach.
