The Kings are going to blow the tires off every team except Det. Looks like every Toronto team is getting smoked.

Looks like Marlies or pro hockey getting their tires blown off against Pacific Selects. All over them can barely keep the puck in the offensive zone.

Toronto seems way behind in comparison to other teams.

They don’t take the best current players they take the best players from 2 years ago…. It will all be sorted out after the full G season when they figure out which kids are good now.

I think T. Teams were split up between HHOF and Toronto Invitational...

Everest (Young Nats) lost 7–0
Toronto Bulldogs Erlich (JrC) lost 6–1
Pro Hockey Kosta (Marlies) lost 6–1
Vaughan Knights (VK) lost 6–3

Why is there such a gap in the level of play between the Toronto teams and the others in this tournament?

Best kids aren’t there. Plenty have no interest in these cash grab tourneys.

Look at the rosters. YK has 2 Marlies,RD who plays 2015 JRC, and RJ from Buffalo so unless they are all commuting to Whitby next season I would avoid sweeping conclusions. Its a spring tournament.

Because every Toronto team is a winter team going against stacked super teams

Size made difference. YK looks two years older.
