Where I'm from we have a city Alliance team and an omha
Team in the same area. Can play for either one. My kid played u8 this year for the city and, believe it or not the fees to play for the same team next year was 3800$. For our area the klevr team here was 4700$. A fair bit more for sure. We had a few reasons for choosing klevr.
-the kids get 2 more hours of Ice a week. 8 instructional hours total too which is great for my diehard lil guy. A skating treadmill session every week which he loves, and they do a half hour of tape. That much hockey for anyone is great development
-the coaches running the hockey school at our home rink (and the klevr team) We're paid to come in and do a few practices for our city team during the year. They did a great job. The kids got to know these guys, who do run a great program and did so much on top, offering shooting pad coaching and lots of extra stuff to help our boys.
-also this school puts an independent spring team together for tourneys and kids come from all over to tryout. Now that this same core coaching group has a full winter seasonal team with that much icetime these same kids and more drawn from the various teams around us, came to tryout. If half of them agree to play, it would be a strong group.
-this coaching group runs a prep school too at the rink and would likely take the kids if they were shunned by the city teams lol, which is more myth than anything.

There are gonna be good coaching staff and bad in all programs. I want to put my boy somewhere he'll take in tue information and I know what he's gonna be dealing with. The crazy amount of ice time is gonna improve him a ton, and more so if he's with some decent kids.

I think it's rough that the big leagues in hockey Canada are scaring families away from playing klevr. If the kid takes a year off to do skiing instead he could play next year so why give them the gears playing private for one. I guess we'll find out after this year. But as far as talent they only took 2 from his city team and the rest got sent back so I'd like to rule out the ankle skating jokes, at least for the klevr team in my area.

Sounds like bull crap to me. Someone from Klevr making up a story to try and generate interest. It’s no secret the skates so far have all been duds

100%. It will be LF/Raiders vs a bunch of filler teams. They need bodies. Top kids are staying NYHL or CDS.

Lots of kids out but keep in mind some nyhl teams are joining ksl together so you may not see them at a particular skate. Since I'm sure you went to all of them

Bottom line, ignore the promises from these idiot recruiters posing as coaches and find an actual coach and I guarantee you whatever loop you play in you will be happy. Unless you're a crazy like the guy above trying to promise ksl won't work, as if they have a clue.

100%. It will be LF/Raiders vs a bunch of filler teams. They need bodies. Top kids are staying NYHL or CDS.

Skates have been packed at most KLEVR teams. Above poster was correct in their assessment. Better development and better structure/ coaching. You’ll pay roughly 3 grand for NYHL garbage driving to downsview on a Thursday at 6pm in the winter. Lol.

You can get on a good KLEVR team for 3500 +

Some are better than others.

I’m personally not a fan of NSH but go where you feel best. Definitely better than Alliance.
