Majors dead last this year. Double AA kids swapped out for single A kids. What’s a parent coach of a AA team doing trying to teach at this age and level.

New rankings from the insider:

VK

We've already done three spring tournaments, including Nashville, and this one is by far the best value. The cost is $500 USD, and the kids receive a free CCM stick, training gear, hoodie, plus Howies tape and accessories—all included. Exceptional coaches, top-tier facilities, and scouts will be in attendance. If you didn’t get an invite, don’t be sour—just stay curious about what makes this event stand out.

The AAA tryout window has been closed for 33 days, and you've already done three spring tournaments? Congratulations, you're an idiot, satisfying your own F.O.M.O at the expense of your son's long term health and development. No meaningful rest after a long season is not making him better, nor is U15 spring hockey getting him one inch closer to being drafted in U16. If he's already good enough to be one of the 300 kids drafted after U16, see previous comment regarding your own F.O.M.O.

It's pretty obvious with some kids now that I've watched over the 2 months that they're playing too much hockey. These are kids especially on the top 3 teams that I know don't play other sports. It's too much hockey and those parents are simply lost. Sadly will continue to regress into U16.

So playing preseason to ohf plus some spring is too much? Ok.
Sounds like the solution is to go to a non playoff team and no spring to reduce the load.

Nevermind the tendies…what happened to the GTA Superstar firepower and “top D”? Evidence that playing the game the right way matters.

Tight game loses are rarely on the guy standing in the blue ice.

It’s only May! My kid will be playing his last of 5 tournaments this weekend. He had an early playoff exit and he wanted to get some more games in. Now he will have June and July to play golf, workout and be a kid. Back on the ice in August.
Worry about your own kid.

the ones who comment about too much hockey in spring are the ones who don't get asked to play. dont worry, your time will come when everything will miraculously seem to click in U16 and todays benders will become highly ranked prospects. happens every year lmao
