The rest will be wide open with the exception of Rebels and nothing should surprise.
The detailed analysis on this site never fails
GTHL: To start the season, this is how it will play out - 5 tiers

TM // JRC
VK // Nats // DMF
TT //SENS
TRW // REPS
MM // Rebels // NYR

- TRW has an opportunity to move up if they get a different coach who knows what hes doing
- VK//Nats // DMF all have an opportunity to play competitive hockey with TM and JRC with good coaching
- REPS will be a totally different team next year when it blows up and OHP lady is told to kick rocks
- NYR are the least toxic team
- TT and SENS both have solid rosters, just simply aren't "Super teams"

OMHA: 5 Tiers as well, this is what the first half of the season will look like.

WW
QRD
YSE // BJC // APR // KING
PETB // COW
NCP // MW // NS

- WW won't have a competitive game against anyone except QRD, who might even squeak out a win against them
- YSE, BJC, APR, KING all have really solid teams with solid coaching should all be competitive with each other. APR might be the first team to drop out of this group.
- NCP as one or two really good players and then dog shit
- MW is a mess
- NS is durham kids left overs after APR/WW/COW all got first pick
- PETB is my sleeper team to possibly come out of no where.

Good luck to everyone!

I agree with most of this, hard to argue without much in the way of games to see. Only GTHL teams are putting full blown spring teams together. I don't think anyone outside of Whitby as (Young Kings) is doing it from OMHA. I am sure a bunch of them are playing spring hockey but not as a full team.

If we meshed it together, this is my best guess:

TM, JRC, WW (2 GTHL, 1 OMHA)
QRD, VK, Nats (2 GTHL, 1 OMHA)
DMF, TT, SENS, YSE, BJC, APR (3 GTHL, 3 OMHA)
KING, TRW, REPS (2 GTHL, 1 OMHA)
----------------------------------------------------------------
PETB, COW, NYR (1 GTHL, 2 OMHA)
MM, Rebels, MW (2 GTHL, 1 OMHA)
NS, NCP ( 0 GTHL, 2 OMHA)

GTHL is "better" when you look at it like this, but the top three tiers are a lot closer then most think between the two leagues, out of "new" 12 team league, its 7 GTHL and 5 OMHA. Each tier, still has an 80% chance of beating the tier below it. 4th tier and up, is great hockey and in my opinion still truly AAA hockey. below that, it starts to get spotty IMO, teams having a mix of truly AAA players and players who aren't.

No love for the AAA OMHA West? Niagara, Burlington, Oakville, etc...? I'd say they will be in the middle-of-the-pack mix as well.

VK beat DMF 10+ vs nothing in a tournament weeks ago. Any specific reason group them in same tier? Agree with VK and Nats they were close in NYHL games

I mean, I can't keep up with EVERY single game teams play against each other. Was it TRULY fall roster vs fall roster? If so, then they probably slip into that next tier. The tiers might shake up a bit every two months or so. Kids change a lot, and rapidly. Some

A lot of this, just like anyone else trying to do it, is basing it off of LOTS of things:

- Individual kids I am aware of and where they went (I've been coaching in the age group for 4 years, I know A LOT of the kids either personally or through people or through IG. So if the top kid off a team goes somewhere, you are aware of it)

- previous year team results (Some teams "transplanted" more or less the entire team last year into a team this year. You can't account for random add on players, unless you know who they are. And you can't account for young players growth or decline every 6 months but you can have a solid idea. VK, WW, NATs, APR, KING, TRW, etc were all more or less a full team moving.)

- Spring team results (This one is tough, because you never TRULY know who is on which team. Teams are greasy as heck. But, you can still get a pretty good idea of teams when they play as a unit. WW, VK, JRC, TM, REPS, NYR, APR, KING, Nats all have spring teams out there where they are playing more or less as a team.)

- Rumors (Everything you read here, you need to take with a grain of salt, but you can get some decent info and then go and look it up yourself. Or if you happen to hear the same things from multiple different [unbiased] sources you can start to put together a decent story)

- Gut feel (there is things like team "public perspective", for example: no one goes to MM as their first choice, no one goes to NS as their first choice. So their "filler players are likely worse then the "filler players" for YSE, DMF, SENS. Teams like TM, JRC, WW all own either a brick team or they have arguably the best run organization in youth sports right now. Players will always go there, if given the option and they belong)

- Coaches (For example, APR coach is a good coach. He took a team of solid T2 kids and brought them into the heart of T1 all season. Vs. TRW coach took a incredibly talented roster and potentially made them worse from beginning of year to end)

I don't know anything about the teams / kids in OMHA West. So I don't comment on it. Maybe someone who knows more will make a post with some substance in it explaining some of their opinions. Sorry.

Here we go again. Someone is obsessed with Nats putting them in a lower ranking and then asking questions to start a discussion.
