With open borders top 4 teams will load up
QRD
WW
BJC
PP

The rest of the teams will compete with eachother.

I don’t think wins and losses really matter as the gap between top 4 and the rest will be pretty big.

When did PP become a top team?

Top players from ….
YSE to BJC
NS to WW
KG to QRD
COW to PP

That is how open borders works.

The rest of the teams main focus should be on Development as U13 is a development year.
U14 will introduce contact and everything will change.

What top players are going to BJC from YSE?

Bingo. It’s probably the most important development year. The makeup of all of these teams will change for U14. You should be looking for a team with a top tier development plan, not just any AAA team.

There are no such teams.

Hate to break it to all the crazies....this year doesn't matter...have been through it with 2 older boys and U14 changes everything...the little quick kids with good hands that won't go in a corner get eliminated fast...or the concussions get them next year....the big and/or dumb kids with no hockey IQ can't hack it either when the game speeds up and it's not just end to end stupidity...they have to make plays and can't read the playbook......just find a good non parent coach that will pick athletes and intelligent hockey players.....surround yourself with that and kids with good genetics (all these 5'5" dads walking around on platform shoes .... it'll all work out.

Depends who you were looking at
PP was fine, NS no words

Both teams clearly have picked everyone they want though

Not sure they are making the best moves, especially NS

NS had mostly AA kids on the ice

Is COW goalie TW on PP or NS? If he is a PP he will plateau. Get that kid in Durham region.

NS but he is going to regret that decision big time

I heard the NS coach is making this a development year for AA kids since it’s his last year with the team. Is that true?

That sounds like an excuse to have a weak team

The fact we are all on here bickering about who is better at U12/13 hockey is pathetic……. Myself included.

Think about it…… grown adults anonymously posting messages about 12 and 13 year olds playing hockey.
