Did some also go to Peterborough AAA?

Pete's AAA added 1 G and 1 F from QRD, COW added 2 D and 1 F, NSW added 3 F, Kingston added 4 F and 2 D, Pete's AA added 1 D, Bulls AA added 1 G and 1 D moved up to QRD U16. Then after having enough players at tryouts to field a team the U15 QRD folded. They had no problem beating NCP 21-0 last year and decide to fold this year because their team wouldn't be good enough?

Belleville remained the same then with a few adds?

I believe they swapped out 3-4 kids for the Kingston AAA cuts

So they will win games by 3 or 4 goals not 4 or 5 goals? They probably got better. Three kids went to AAA and four came back. Last year was the first that they tiered AA and they won both U13 and U15 OHFs.

London has always been a good team but this year they played a lot of A caliber teams in their loop? London purple, Woodstock etc..? That's why they were blowing out so many games.

Their league is weak but it certainly appears on their MHR page that they played and beat a lot of good teams by decent scores. New Jersey Jr Devils AAA 9-3! Hard to hold their league against them when HEO lets the St. Lawrence Steel play in AA and the GTHL allows ten teams from Mississauga.

Yes they are still a strong team no doubt, always at the top in the 2011 MHR for the past 3 years. I don't understand all the Mississauga teams, clearly they need to dissolve a couple and make the remainders stronger so they can compete.

The 4 kids who came down to AA are not strong players. One can't decide if he's a d or a fwd. The AAA coach's kid who got cut is a below avg AA kid and only made AAA because his dad was the coach. The other one from Chatham should be playing single A. The d from Huron is a below avg AA level player. None of those kids will replace the point totals of the two forwards who moved up to AAA.

Did Kingston improve? They had some consistently strong results versus Belleville and Clarington last year.

I'm sure Kingston received the other cuts from AAA with the QRD pushing them out, but they also lost Uppal to the AAA team. Hard to say if they improved or maybe stay the same?

Waterloo can probably give London a run in Alliance this year

That is a pretty aggressive statement. Two players don’t make a team. These two players were not team players and hopefully with all new players coming in they will gel and play as a team. You would rather have 10 players score 20 goals versus 2 players score 85. With a non parent coach these kids should thrive but only time will tell.

Not team players? One kid had 60+ goals and 40+ assists. The other had 40+ goals and 30+ assists. There were another 4-5 forwards with 20+ goals and one d had 10+ goals. So that's 8 players who had strong point totals. 2 players with over 100 goals. Yeah, who the hell wants that type of production! None of the "AAA" kids who are now playing AA will replace the top two kids from last year - none.
