If the GTHL was transparent in its business, if the orgs were transparent and committed to great coaching and providing good experiences, if side deals, money men, gouging, mandatory extras and name your next scam didn’t exist. The GTHL would be filled to the brim with enough talent to fill 20 AAA teams. But every reasonable person who has witnessed that money draining sesspool has eventually said F it, I’m done. They’ve created their own mess. The only way to save it is to blow it up and start again.
100% agree.
What he said! The G needs to turn these teams back into non-profits like they're supposed to be. G AAA is a league for the rich, not the best. I don't think the colour of your skin matters as much as the parents ability to line the pockets of the coach and organization. If AAA was based on talent, half the kids would be replaced. But we all know that will never happen too many scumbags making too much money, plus an organization that doesn't have the guts to change to landscape. So sad!
This is not entirely true. G AAA is for the best of the best and then if you are not in that very small group of the absolute best, it is for people who are willing to pay. Money is clearly a massive issue for the whole hockey complex, but the truly elite kids (those that are first round OHL draft kids, playing top tier NCAA) the GTHL makes a ton of sense. For everyone else, if you have the money to spend then go for it.
If you are not the very small group of the absolute best the next to fill spots shouldn't be money kids whose parents are willing to pay, the other spots should be for the best, after the best of the best.
The money kids are killing hockey in AAA. I know si many kids deserving to be there but the parents aren't connected and can't buy a spot so they end up playing below where they should while a money kid plays where they don't belong.
Nobody dislikes money except when it's dirty and corrupt.
