You don’t need to bring on ego personalities with trying to stack teams like what some they did because the parents will all never be happy thinking their kid should play PP or PK and so the churn will start. It always does.

NYR and Reps definitely dont have spring teams. But the ranking guy needs that to not be true to make these rankings and will come up with some nonsense to justify it all

From the Alliance, Brantford will compete with anyone. Basically the draft day elite team that have been competitive at all the big spring tourneys. They will beat some big teams at silver stick, definitely a dark horse to compete with Whitby.

Niagara will be very strong, probably similar to the analysis of Quinte.

Oakville and Burlington both shook up their MD groups and added from outside. Oakville goaltending is probably tops in the province. With solid coaching both could compete with all the tier 2 teams but not at JRC/Marlies/WW/Brantford level.

Rest of OMHA West is quite weak. While the rest of Alliance is dependant on the kids from London and whether they all went to one super team (I haven’t heard one way or another).

So how can this be used to evaluate a winter team. VK and Nats had pretty much the winter rosters. Some Tournaments TB has played with JRC roster. The way things look JRC, VK, Nats will be very strong. WW will blow up after a year of being stranded on an island.

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!

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

The specific reason is that this was written by someone who doesnt have a clue and istn paying attention. These rankings are garbage. Quick ignore and move on
