Chatham improves yearly because their team isn’t full of politics and bullskt. They pick the best players available to make the best team, they cut friends and train hockey because they know it’s AAA hockey.

They missed the parent cut though ..ouch ..that’s gonna hurt

And here we have Elgin doing Elgin things - maybe that’s why youre so bad you’re more worried about politics than playing hockey.

Guess again. We thought EMC was lying too .. you’ll find out

Yeah ok EMC. Here is a piece of advice.... the constant bullying of a family is getting old. Leave it alone already. Only person it makes look bad is you and your team

All of this! Kid was a great teammate on and off the ice. No problems with the parents either. Zero issues in London last year but keep trying EMC. The entire league knows you’re the problem.

Ummm, just fyi, NOT from EMC but keep in mind that the LJK individuals involved that shoot their mouth off to others in the Alliance do not have the support they think they have.
Chatham has a really decent group of coaches, players and parents respected throughout the league. There is a laundry list of red flags with only a couple former LJKs that is known by many as a result of their own words. EMC is ignoring them.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Incorrect. ND obviously thinks his AA team is AAA caliber. Just wait until the season starts. There are and will continue to be legitimate AAA player cuts that are bad decisions. The players that got out before tryouts are very lucky they aren't dealing with this gong show

What was ND supposed to do? 3/4 of the team left, he didn't cut them....

ND will be fine, he is an excellent coach and more importantly a good person. The only AAA LJK team to get better this year is the 2013s. The rest of the LJK aaa coaches think it’s about having fun and are ok with picking players who aren’t AAA calibre as long as it means hanging out with friends all season. No one should want to pay AAA money to play on a team with a coach who has a loser mentality.

No one wanted MM back and options are limited

Or because he’s a good coach

The reason almost the entire team left is because of ND. He might be a decent AA coach but there is a big difference from that to AAA. His cuts alone tell you he isn’t qualified. I feel bad for his kid.

This is laughable. Parents left because MM told them too and they took the bait. History of leaving things in a mess.

How many kids remaining played aaa last year?

3 LJK
Sarnia goalie
Maybe 1 other

Maybe there is a method.. he knows talent wise they won’t keep up. So maybe he is taking super hard working kids so he can put together a high pressure game plan ? I don’t know

It’s alliance hockey, let’s be honest there is very little difference between AA and AAA. Egos and bullsh$t are the biggest difference as seen here on this website.

Cambridge doesn't seem as strong, Kitchener showing signs of improvement, and Waterloo still a bit of a question mark

Why would MM advise people to leave? He moved on…doesn’t add up. Please help us understand this!

Oh please. MM didn’t tell anyone to leave. Parents made that decision on their own. And why would MM care if people stayed or went? It doesn’t affect him at all.

He’s tiny, but such a great player!

Someone finally said it. Alliance is all about who you know and whose as$ you’re willing to kiss. Anyone with a brain can see it!

Breyden Belan in Sarnia should be fired. Assaulted a kid. Board investigating. Hopefully they get rid of that POS! He can't coach and now we learn he is abusive towards the kids. This will be in the news if no action is taken.
